Best In Texas Real Estate™: San Marcos-New Braunfels
2026-11-09
77.9% of new homes built in the San Marcos-New Braunfels MSA since 2020 are located in just three cities—Kyle, Canyon Lake, and Buda. This level of concentration is reshaping the region’s housing landscape, driving uneven growth and redefining what 'affordable' means across the metro. The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s exclusive analysis: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-09-san-marcos-nb-concentration-new-homes-place. How does this shift impact your strategy? What happens when growth is no longer spread—but clustered?
