Texas is a great place for home buyers

Thinking about buying a home in Texas? You might be in luck. Mortgage interest rates here are currently lower than in many other states, which could make owning a home—maybe even that spacious Texas dream house—much more affordable.

Over the past five years, interest rates in Texas have seen some dramatic changes. In 2019, rates were relatively stable, averaging around 4% for a 30-year fixed mortgage. It was a solid time to buy or refinance.

Then came 2020 and the pandemic. In response to the economic uncertainty, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates to historic lows. By mid-2020 and into 2021, mortgage rates in Texas dropped to around 2.5% to 3%. Homebuyers jumped at the opportunity—refinancing and purchasing surged while borrowing costs were unusually low.

By late 2021 and into 2022, however, rates began to rise again. The Fed, aiming to slow inflation, increased interest rates. By 2022, Texas mortgage rates climbed to around 5% to 6%, and in 2023, some even reached 7%, depending on the lender and your credit profile.

Even with these increases, Texas still compares favorably to many other states. Home prices remain relatively affordable, especially when you factor in the state’s lower cost of living and the lack of a state income tax. Those benefits help offset some of the pressure from higher borrowing costs.

All in all, Texas has remained a strong option for homebuyers over the past several years. With improving interest rates and the state’s overall affordability, now could be a great time to start looking for a home in the Lone Star State.
