Texas International Homebuyers Buck National Trend in 2026
It’s interesting to see Texas stand out this year: international buyers purchased 7,780 homes across the state in 2026, spending $4.8 billion—a 4% increase, even with added restrictions in place. Most of these buyers came from Mexico (35%), and many were drawn to our suburban neighborhoods. With a median home price of $375,000—still under the national median—Texas continues to offer solid value. As someone who helps Fort Bend County families weigh their options, I see firsthand how our communities remain appealing to buyers from around the world.

What Happens to Housing if Mortgage Rates Fall?
Mortgage rates shot up from 2020 to 2022, which put the brakes on refinancing and made many homeowners stay put. If those rates start to drop, we could see home values climb. But here’s something I’ve noticed working with families in Fort Bend County—when rates make moving more affordable, some households may shift their focus to smaller homes, deciding it’s the right time to downsize. I always keep an eye on these trends, because understanding how shifts in the market affect your options is a big part of helping you make the right move with confidence.
