Is Texas Going To Get Higher In Terms Of Population Than California?

Per Realtor.com, permitted house units in Texas were very high. How high you ask? Well with 15% of national housing, the Lone Star State was placed at number one in the nation for that metric.

But how does California factor in this conversation? Well, those in California are leaving the state and coming to Texas in search of many things, which include job opportunities and more easy house buying.

Danielle Hale, Realtor.com Chief Economist, stated:

“Already-scarce housing inventory from years of under-building was flooded with cash offers, and listing prices and rents soared...Texas has responded by building more and smaller homes to meet demand, helping the market settle and housing inventory climb back to pre-pandemic levels ahead of the nationwide recovery.”

So it looks like the endless between California and Texas will continue to say the least. Especially if the projections ring true, showing Texas may get even more people in the state by 2045!
