Best In 55+ Real Estate™
2026-10-10
🏆 #1 in Texas, #1 of 50 High-65+ Counties — ALEX Intelligence 2026. The oldest housing stock in Texas’s 55+ market isn’t a sign of decline—it’s a strategic advantage. Lavaca County leads with a median home age of 47 years, reflecting decades of stable occupancy, deep-rooted community ties, and accumulated equity. This data, drawn directly from ALEX Intelligence’s 2026 report, shows that older homes aren’t liabilities—they’re assets of permanence. For active-adult buyers, this means enduring neighborhoods, predictable HOA governance, and a culture of continuity. As the Federal Reserve notes, older households prioritize long-term financial stability—exactly what these mature communities offer. How does a 47-year-old home become a retirement wealth engine? Because it’s not just a house—it’s a legacy. Read the full analysis: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-10-fifty-five-plus-fifty-five-plus-median-home-age-county-tx-senior
