This is a complete anecdote, but I am surrounded by new neighborhoods all built in the last couple of years, and some new ones being built now. We also have a BUNCH of new 4 story apartments that have never been seen in suburban Houston before 2020.
I know Houston supposedly got a HUGE influx of people leaving NYC and SV in 2020-2021, but still, my home town of around 20k people just got 2 brand new neighborhoods in 2021 with 500 homes between them all selling for $300k+ when you used to be able to buy a house in town for $50-100k. Even with record breaking housing development, the cost of homes in the last few years in Houston has been ridiculous.
