Houston real estate marke ton nine-month climb

Houston’s real estate market is on a roll. Could “Space City” be the next space for you?

Last month, the Houston, Texas, real estate market continued its nine-month climb, even as a winter storm caused widespread power outages and mortgage rates ticked up for the first time since the summer.

The number of single-family homes sold in February was up 1.2% from a year earlier to 6,049, according to the Houston Association of Realtors. Notably, homes priced at $750,000 or more “surged” 64.9% compared to a year earlier, and dollar volume rose 17.3% to $2.4 billion.
