Texas Sees Surge in Housing Demand as Californians Move to the Lone Star State

LOS ANGELES – Texas continues to attract a significant number of new residents, with migration from California and international sources being key contributors, according to a recent report by Realtor.com.

Factors driving the move to Texas include its affordable housing market, plentiful job opportunities, and favorable climate. The report reveals that more than 25% of home shoppers in Texas are from out of state. The state is also leading the nation in housing permits, accounting for 15% of all new permits issued in 2024.
