“Condominiums and townhomes remain a popular choice for Texas buyers because they often have a lower price compared to single-family homes,” said Tray Bates, chairman of Texas REALTORS®. “Also appealing is the decreased maintenance, and they oftentimes offer a closer commute to work, schools and city life. Whether you’re a native Texan relocating from another city, or a new Texan from out of state, there’s a wide variety of these types of properties being made available.”
