Buying rural land in Texas

Houston Professionals Are Quietly Buying Up Texas Acreage—Here’s Why

According to a recent Fannie Mae report, mortgage applications for housing in rural areas have spiked 80 percent since the start of the pandemic, signaling a lasting shift in how Americans view land ownership. Even as higher interest rates cooled demand in major metros, applications in rural markets have remained well above pre-pandemic averages.

That national trend is mirrored here in Texas. As rural land prices rise—up 64 percent since 2019, according to Realtor.com—many Houston professionals are turning their attention to acreage communities like The Estates of Texas Grand Ranch. They’re not just buying property; they’re planning ahead—securing a place to retire, reconnect with nature, and build their future on their own terms.

Read the full story on Patten Properties to see how buyers like Karl Schultz are shaping this new movement in Texas land ownership.
