Dallas predicted among countrys hottest markets for 2023

The Emerging Trends in Real Estate report recently released by the Urban Land Institute (ULI), shows Dallas-Fort Worth as the No. 2 market in the United States to keep an eye on in 2023, with only Nashville being stronger.

Based on interviews and surveys with professionals in the real estate industry, the report:

"…provides an outlook on real estate investment and development trends, real estate finance and capital markets, property sectors, metropolitan areas, and other real estate issues throughout the United States and Canada."


A joint effort of ULI and PricewaterhouseCoopers identifies the country’s top markets to watch based on an in-depth analysis of overall real estate prospects. DFW garnered the No. 2 stop with several other Lone Star State cities joining it in the top 15 markets to watch. Austin was listed as No. 4, the No. 12 slot was occupied by San Antonio, and Houston came in at No. 14.

Brochure printing services will likely be asked to include the results of this report in printed promotional materials.

Real estate trends going into 2023 include “normalization” following the post-COVID boom, and the dominance of ‘Magnet’ markets, which are primarily found in the Sun Belt regions. Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and Austin are among those considered Magnet markets.

Dallas is part of a subgroup of the Magnet markets called the “Super Sun Belt” group, which like all markets during the pandemic recession lost jobs yet have made a quicker and more complete recover than others.
