Best In Land Real Estate™

🏆 #1 in Texas, #1 in Texas — ALEX Intelligence 2026. Gillespie County leads Texas in home value to income ratio among rural counties with at least 20,000 residents, with a 6.0x ratio. This is not a sign of unaffordability, but of income resilience in a high-value land market. The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s October 12, 2026 report: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-12-land-land-value-to-income-county-tx-rural. This isn’t about price — it’s about how land value and income are moving in tandem. In a market where land is a long-term asset, high ratios don’t signal distress — they signal stability. How does your region measure up? Is land appreciation keeping pace with income growth, or is it outpacing it? Let’s discuss.
