Houston Area
Own vs Rent Trends
A higher share of owner-occupied homes often reflects stronger long-term ties to the community, since homeowners are more likely to stay in one place and invest in their neighborhoods. By contrast, areas with a larger renter population may be more transient, offering flexibility but sometimes less stability in housing markets.
It could also be an indication of market health, as affordable markets often have higher owner-occupancy rates.
The home listing price-to-income ratio in the Houston area is 4.6
The ratio compares how expensive homes are in Houston relative to household income. A higher ratio means homes cost more compared to what people earn.
A healthy price-to-income ratio is generally around 3 times your household's annual income (or less), but higher ratios can be sustainable depending on your rate, DTI, and more.

Houston is a big, diverse market. A buyers should know how much of a difference it makes to work with an agent and lender who truly understand the VA process and state-level veteran benefits. That expertise can be the difference between a smooth closing and a stressful one.
