What’s driving the Houston market?
A renter-friendly market, a growing, diverse population and strong investor demand make Houston an attractive investment opportunity
With one of the nation's fastest-growing populations and economies, Houston has emerged as a compelling commercial real estate investment hub. But before you invest, you need to truly understand what's driving the Bayou City to guide your decisions.
We've gathered the need-to-know insights across apartments, office, industrial and retail that will give you a crash course in the trends shaping the Houston metro.
Here are some highlights:
- Home to one of the nation's most affordable rental markets with a 21% rent-to-income ratio, the city added nearly 140,000 new residents from 2022 to 2023
- Private investors are seizing marquee office properties at a discount, including properties in Houston's CityWest Place and San Felipe Plaza
- While there are fewer properties under construction, Houston's industrial market is setting records, leading the U.S. in Q1 2024 net absorption
- Retail’s supply/demand imbalance has allowed landlords to increase rents by a robust 6.5% as space remains scarce for expanding tenants and new retailers entering the market.
