International Buyers Are Trading Pricey Coastal Cities For Texas' Low Cost Of Living As The Lone Star State Sees Overseas Interest Surge
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Texas, home of big hats, big hair, and big boots, is attracting some oversized interest from international homebuyers drawn to its new construction, low cost of living, and business-friendly climate, according to The website's latest International Demand for the U.S. Housing Market report reveals that traffic from international buyers seeking Texas housing has surged recently, placing the Lone Star State second only to Miami in capturing the interest of international buyers looking to relocate to the U.S. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — , which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with just a $100 minimum. 'Drawn by the state's lower cost of living, lack of state income tax, and pro-business environment, many high-profile firms have expanded or relocated their operations to Texas,' Economic Analyst Jiayi Xu writes in the report. Buyers are particularly drawn to Texas's bustling big cities of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, pulling potential buyers away from California and Las Vegas, which have dropped down in search traffic rankings. Traditionally in high demand from overseas buyers, West Coast tech cities have fallen out of favor due to concerns over affordability and layoffs. The report, which collated views from January to March, registered a 2.1% increase in international buyers searching for homes in Texas. Newly constructed family homes are high on the buyer's search criteria. Trending: Invest Where It Hurts — And Help Millions Heal: 'Economic growth, job creation, infrastructure development, and housing demand, making these markets more appealing to international buyers looking for long-term investment opportunities or relocation prospects,' Xu says. A pro-business environment driven by low taxes has seen many companies relocate to Texas, which in turn has driven employment opportunities. 'Houston is an oil and gas hub, and a home to large international companies, providing for job opportunities and job transfers for expats,' Atif Ahmad, an agent with Brits of Compass, a company specializing in helping British citizens buy real estate in the U.S. According to data, most overseas buyers looking for Texas homes are not investors, but rather first-time homebuyers, second-homebuyers, or parents seeking accommodation for students attending colleges in make up 34.7% of international traffic — the highest group, down from 40.7% last year. Interestingly, buyers from the U.K. (5.7%), Mexico (5.4%), and Germany (3.8%) have all increased. Despite President Donald Trump's tariffs, Mexican buyers were not as perturbed as Canadian buyers, whose interest in 2025 had waned. International buyers looking to relocate to Texas may be in luck, as listings in the state are up, particularly in the markets they are targeting. According to the Texas Association of Realtors, active listings increased by 30.7% in the first quarter of 2025, as reported in its 2025 Q1 Texas Quarterly Housing Report. Also up were homes days on the market — 72 — a one-week increase compared to the same period last year. Houston had 33,374 active listings, the most for any city in the state, a 38% increase.

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA): 'I Would Neverrrr Sell Tesla In This,' Says Jim Cramer
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. Pixabay/Public Domain Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is the world's largest pure-play electric vehicle manufacturer and a frequent feature of Cramer's morning show. Even though the firm's shares have been highly volatile in 2025, Cramer has been a believer most of the time. However, after frictions between Elon Musk and President Trump last week, Cramer took a cautious stance and wondered if holding on to Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)'s shares was worth it. However, his latest discussion on Squawk on the Street saw him reverse the stance, much to the surprise of his co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla: 'We got a lot of downgrades and they, it physically stuck, it didn't go down and then it went up ten percent. I'll give you a good example. Guggenheim has a Sell on it today. If I crossed out the word Sell and read it, I would be buying. I mean it's that positive. It's about Robotaxi and it's about the total addressable market and initially Tesla won't do that well. But I've gotta tell you, I would neverrrr sell Tesla in this. And then Piper Sandler with just a few bullet points about why it's going to be fantastic. Driver-less Tesla's have been spotted in Austin. Of course he's walked back when it's going to be, but I continue to believe that you've got to own the stock. While we acknowledge the potential of TSLA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
