最近的一份报告 released by Texas REALTORS® revealed that international homebuyers spent $4.3 billion on nearly 10,000 home purchases in Texas from April 2022 to March 2023. This activity represents 2.8% of the total number of homes sold and 3.6% of total dollar volume of residential sales.

While the median home price for international buyers, at $320,800, is lower than the overall Texas median of $342,000, the average purchase price for international buyers was $446,100.
