FHFA notes: The FHFA HPI is a broad measure of the movement of single-family house prices. The FHFA HPI is a weighted, repeat-sales index, meaning that it measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same properties. The line is FHFA's standard quarterly all-transactions index; the comparison table uses FHFA's annual state index from the same family. The index does not give a dollar value for any home.
Texas's FHFA house price index starts in 1975. Through 2025 it has risen +718.3%; over the ten years to 2025 the rise was +88.2% (+6.5% a year), close to the national +85.0%.
The quarterly index through 2026 Q2 is +1.6% on a year earlier and +0.5% on the quarter; nationally +3.0% and +1.1%.
194,150 housing units were authorised in Texas in the 12 months to August 2026, 6.1 per 1,000 residents against 4.1 nationally; that is −10.8% on the previous 12 months. 179 counties, 64 metro and micro areas, 1,004 ZIP codes and 487 permit-issuing places in the state have their own pages.

FHFA reports each index with a value of 100 in its base period, the first year the area has enough transactions (1975 here). A decade's change is the index at the end of the decade divided by the index at the start, so it does not depend on the base year; the United States column covers the same years. Decades before 1975 are not shown.
Peak-to-low declines
| Peak | Low | Decline | Peak regained |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1986 | 1988 | −11.7% | 1995 |
Purchase-only index
FHFA also publishes a purchase-only index, built from sales prices alone (no refinance appraisals). It starts in 1991 and is drawn here on its own base.
