Best In Texas Real Estate™: San Marcos-New Braunfels

🏆 Ranked #1 in Texas for Average Household Size — ALEX Intelligence, 2024. Belterra, Hays County, Texas, leads the state with 3.2 people per household — a structural advantage in housing demand and market resilience. This data, drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 5-year estimates, reveals a deeper demographic pattern: larger households mean sustained demand for mid- to large-sized homes, supporting construction and pricing stability. This is not an outlier — it’s a trend rooted in real, lived conditions. As inventory grows in the San Marcos-New Braunfels MSA, the demand for space remains strong, reducing the risk of over-supply in smaller units. Builders who align with this pattern are better positioned for long-term success.
