Llano County leads Texas in seasonal home ownership — with 24.6% of homes held for seasonal use, according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis. This isn’t just about vacation homes; it’s about a new kind of rural land value, driven by seasonal use patterns that boost liquidity and infrastructure investment. What does this mean for land in other rural Texas counties, or for long-term land strategies in North Carolina, Colorado, and Alabama? The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s exclusive 2026 report: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-16-land-land-seasonal-share-county-tx-rural
