Best In Texas Real Estate™: Killeen-Temple-Copperas Cove-Lampasas

🏆 Ranked #1 in Housing Construction Imbalance — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. 7.96x: That’s the ratio of new home permits per 1,000 residents between Bell County and Lampasas County in the Killeen-Temple MSA — the widest disparity in Texas’s most resilient market. This isn’t just about supply. It’s about where growth is happening — and where it isn’t. Bell County is building at nearly 8 times the rate of Lampasas County, creating a structural divide in housing supply, infrastructure strain, and long-term appreciation potential. This isn’t a temporary spike — it’s a deep regional split.
