As someone who has guided hundreds of clients through finding homes in Garland and across the DFW area, I’ve seen firsthand how quickly the Texas housing landscape is changing. Between 2020 and 2025, Texas saw its housing units rise by about 11%—jumping from around 11.6 million to nearly 12.8 million. That’s an increase of roughly 1.26 million units, the largest numeric gain of any state. What sets Texas apart isn’t just the size of this growth, but the pace: our state’s housing supply expanded almost twice as fast as the national average, and we ranked third nationwide in percentage growth. These numbers reflect the steady influx of new residents and the rapid development happening all around us.
For buyers and sellers alike, this surge brings both opportunities and new questions—about infrastructure, affordability, and the services our neighborhoods need to keep up. My background as a teacher and counselor comes in handy as I help clients navigate what this means for their next move, whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or an investor keeping an eye on the big picture.
