A comprehensive report from the Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center indicates that Texas is poised to witness a surge in the delivery of single-family homes and office spaces throughout the state in 2024.
Released on January 4, the “2024 Texas Real Estate Forecast” by the research center delves into overarching trends that could impact the real estate market. Utilizing various principles, the research team provides projections on how the market is likely to fare in the coming year.
Daniel Oney, the research director, emphasized that the forecast is not merely a prediction but a strategic economic tool designed to empower decision-makers in the real estate sector. He stated, “It equips real estate decision-makers with the knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of the Texas real estate market.”
Key Highlights from the Report:
Residential Market:
Anticipated growth in single-family home inventory, reaching pre-pandemic construction levels.
Single-family home prices expected to remain close to $340,000.
Multifamily rent projected to increase by 2.5% compared to the previous year.
Commercial Market:
Expansion in office space inventory, surpassing 2023 levels.
Retail rents forecasted to rise by 2% by the end of the year.
Industrial Market:
Anticipated statewide increase in industrial inventory between 1.5%-3%.
Continued growth in industrial rents, albeit at a slower pace than in 2023.
Detailed Analysis:
The forecast predicts a return to pre-pandemic levels in the delivery of single-family housing, with an expected growth of almost 4% compared to the previous year. While median home prices might experience a slight dip, they are anticipated to hover around $340,000 statewide.
The commercial sector could witness a surge in office space inventory, potentially adding 10 million square feet. Retail space, on the other hand, is expected to maintain its current levels.
The report also indicates a downward trend in rural land sales for 2024, with the median land price projected to peak before experiencing a decline.

In a crucial move to avert a potential government shutdown, Congressional leaders announced a bipartisan deal on Sunday, setting a top-line spending budget of $1.59 trillion for the 2024 fiscal year. The agreement, reached just days before the looming Jan. 19 deadline, allocates $886 billion for military spending and $704 billion for non-defense expenditures.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana shared the details of the deal in a note on Sunday, highlighting the intense negotiations that led to the agreement. Johnson emphasized the importance of unlocking the FY 24 topline numbers, allowing the Appropriations Committee to initiate negotiations on the twelve annual appropriations bills.
Despite the deal signaling progress and cooperation between Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the possibility of a government shutdown still lingers as parties continue to grapple over key policy issues.
In a joint letter on Sunday, Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) expressed optimism about the framework agreement, stating that it would enable appropriators to address major challenges both domestically and internationally. They underscored the importance of maintaining investments for American families, secured by legislative achievements under President Biden and Congressional Democrats.
Acknowledging that the spending levels may not satisfy all parties, Johnson clarified that the deal provides a pathway to “move the process forward,” reprioritize funding towards conservative objectives, and advocate for important policy riders included in House FY24 bills.
Key concessions made in the deal include a $10-billion cut to IRS mandatory funding under the Inflation Reduction Act and a $6.1 billion reduction in “COVID-era slush funds.”
Schumer and Jeffries specified that the deal allocates $772.7 billion toward non-defense discretionary funding, safeguarding key domestic priorities from cuts sought by right-wing extremists.
The coming weeks present a significant test for Johnson’s leadership as House Speaker. With a shrinking majority and Louisiana Republican House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s absence, the GOP margin is reduced to one vote. This necessitates Democratic votes for any spending deal, making it challenging for House Republicans to pass bills along party lines.
President Biden, in a statement released on Sunday, expressed approval of the deal, urging Congressional Republicans to fulfill their responsibility to fund critical domestic and national security priorities and to act promptly to avoid a government shutdown.
The deal, while providing a potential resolution to the funding crisis, sets the stage for further negotiations and challenges in the weeks ahead.
The 2024 Golden Globes unfolded on Sunday, marking a pivotal moment in the awards season by solidifying the positions of major Oscars contenders. Hosted by comedian Jo Koy at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, the ceremony honored outstanding achievements in film and television throughout 2023.
Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” emerged as a dominant force, securing five prestigious accolades, including Best Picture — Drama, Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), and Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey, Jr.). The film’s success positioned it as a strong contender in the upcoming Oscars race. Meanwhile, Lily Gladstone, star of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” strengthened her lead in the Best Actress category.
The event served as a crucial platform for nominees to make impassioned speeches ahead of the Oscars nominations announcement on Jan. 23. Emma Stone (“Poor Things”), Paul Giamatti (“The Holdovers”), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“The Holdovers”), and the cast of “Oppenheimer” took the opportunity to share their gratitude and excitement on national television.
Among the top film nominees were Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” which won Best Original Song for Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s “What Was I Made For?” and received the Globes’ inaugural Box Office Achievement honor. Other notable contenders included Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” and Celine Song’s breakout drama “Past Lives.”
On the television front, the final season of HBO’s “Succession” dominated the drama category, earning multiple acting awards and the coveted Best Television Series trophy. FX’s “The Bear” also garnered significant recognition in the comedy category.
The 2024 Golden Globes marked a turning point for the awards body, following a year of significant changes. The implementation of two new competitive categories, including one for box office success, and the dissolution of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) membership body were notable transformations. The changes were prompted by a 2021 exposé revealing a lack of diversity within the HFPA, leading to widespread criticism and the restructuring of rules and membership requirements.

The 2024 Golden Globes proved to be a momentous occasion, recognizing outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry and setting the stage for the upcoming Oscars.
Residents and visitors in Houston are urged to be on high alert as the city gears up for severe weather conditions expected on Monday. The Emergency Operations Center has unveiled parts of its strategy to ensure the safety of fans during the anticipated championship game.
The National Weather Service is set to issue a wind advisory from 6 a.m. on Monday to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, accompanied by a cold front expected to bring scattered storms and wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph, according to the City of Houston.
Collaborating with various agencies, including the National Weather Service, Houston Police Department, and Houston Fire Department, the Houston Office of Emergency Management is working tirelessly to safeguard individuals commuting to work and fans attending the championship game on Monday.
Chief George Buenik, from the Mayor’s Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security, expressed confidence in their severe weather plan for the event. Buenik emphasized coordination with the National Weather Service and CenterPoint Energy to closely monitor conditions in and around NRG Stadium.
One major concern highlighted by Buenik is the safety of fans engaged in tailgating activities for the championship game. While the larger tents are rated for winds over 100 mph, precautions are in place to relocate individuals if necessary.
“We have a big concern about people tailgating with the little pop-up tents. The big tent we have out there is rated for over 100 miles an hour; that’s going to be safe. But NRG and CFP both have a plan to move people indoors if needed and get them out of harm’s way,” Buenik explained.
Tailgating is scheduled to commence at 11 a.m., and Buenik assured the public that plans are in place to transition fans to shelter in case of severe weather.
“NRG is a large complex with a lot of different buildings. Part of the planning process is utilizing the existing buildings there and possibly opening the stadium up, maybe early if it’s needed to get people out of harm’s way,” Buenik added.
For real-time weather alerts, Houston residents are encouraged to visit alerthouston.org. Fans attending the championship game can receive updates by texting “CFPHouston” to 888777 for College Football Playoff alerts.
The program, Uplift Harris, will provide $500 a month to more than 1,900 households that live below 200 percent of the federal poverty line.

Harris County Commissioner Lesley Briones, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and Commissioner Adrian Garcia attend a Harris County Commissioners Court meeting, Tuesday, June 27, 2023, in Houston.
Harris County is launching a guaranteed-income program Monday that will give certain low-income households a $500 monthly stipend in hopes of providing a financial cushion that can help close the wealth gap.
The program, Uplift Harris, is being funded through $20.5 million from the federal American Rescue Plan Act. It will run for 18 months and provide the stipends to more than 1,900 randomly selected households that live below 200 percent of the federal poverty line. For example, an individual below that threshold would make under $29,160 a year; a family of four would be under $60,000.
The monthly stipend will come with virtually no spending restrictions aside from prohibitions on anything that would harm the safety and security of others, involves criminal activity or supports terrorism.
The initiative will be overseen by the county health department and has been championed by Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis who called it an opportunity to “help alleviate some of the generational poverty that has existed for so long.”
“I think we have an obligation to do everything we can to lift families up and out of poverty and create shared prosperity,” Ellis said.
The county is joining nearly 60 cities and counties across the country, including Baltimore, Austin and Denver, that have launched similar programs, according to Mayors for a Guaranteed Income, a network of leaders who advocate for such initiatives. The majority of the programs are mayor-led, but at least eight are county-based.
Harris County’s program will accept online applications from Jan. 8 to Jan. 26. To qualify, applicants must reside within the ZIP codes that are among the highest poverty rates in the county: 77050, 77093, 77051, 77060, 77028, 77033, 77026, 77081, 77547 and 77091. Those participating in Accessing Coordinated Care and Empowering Self Sufficiency Harris County also are eligible. Applicants will be notified of their selection in mid-February.
Third-party researchers will assess the program’s effectiveness, county officials said.
Nearly half of Houston-area households experience financial hardship, according to the United Way, with 14 percent living below the federal poverty threshold. Another 31 percent of households, who are above that line, still struggle to get by.
Guaranteed income, sometimes referred to as universal basic income,has been discussed for decades as a possible solution to help improve poverty levels. The idea has risen in popularity in recent years, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic. It was central toAndrew Yang’s platform during the 2020 presidential election.
Advocates say it can provide a safety net to help mitigate generational poverty or ease concerns about housing and food instability, while opponents call it a handout that people could spend irresponsibly.
Sarah Cowan, an associate professor of sociology and executive director of the Cash Transfer Lab at New York University, said there are few programs across the United States that do not involve restrictions or monitoring participants.
“The idea behind guaranteed income is that it’s simpler for everyone involved and then it gives families more autonomy to solve their unique problems with their unique set of resources,” she said. “It’s trusting families to know what they need in order to thrive.”
Michael Tubbs, the former mayor of Stockton, California, was among the first to launch a guaranteed income program in 2019. The experiment gave 125 people living at or below the city’s median household income $500 a month, no strings attached, for two years. A study of the program found that not only did participants’ financial situations improve but so did their physical and emotional health. However, a separate study from the Center for Guaranteed Income Research at the University of Pennsylvania said the pandemic made the impacts from the stipend less pronounced.
The experiment in Stockton also was a small sample, researchers said, and programs like one offered in Los Angeles, where more than 3,000 participants received $1,000 a month, have not yet been fully studied.
One of the participants of the Stockton program, Tomas Vargas Jr., said he used to live paycheck to paycheck. He also wanted to find a higher paying job. To do that, however, he would have to take time off from his part-time supervisor job at a warehouse.
After receiving the stipend, he was able to change both of those things. He now works as an administrative assistant, helping with web design and computer programming. Vargas said he also was able to build up a nest egg that set him up for success when the program ended in 2021.
He credited the program for raising his confidence to “not be so scared” of opportunities and to invest in himself. He also credited it for healing his family.
“The biggest thing that I say that came from the program was there’s a generational trauma that healed my kids,” he said. “They aren’t looking at life in the same way I had to as a child. They won’t ever have to be scared of the lights turning off or not having food in the refrigerator.”
A Houston Police Department (HPD) officer, Valeriano Rios, has been suspended from duty pending an investigation following his arrest for assault, as confirmed by officials on Saturday. Due to Rios’ role as an undercover officer and safety concerns, HPD has requested media not to display his mugshot, a request that is being honored.
According to Deer Park police information, the incident occurred around 11:50 p.m. on Friday at Rios’ residence, where he and his wife engaged in an argument. Allegedly, during the altercation, Rios threw a metal cup, striking his wife’s leg, prompting her to contact the police, as mentioned in charging documents.
Deer Park police arrested Rios and subsequently booked him into the Harris County Jail, charging him with misdemeanor assault. Records indicate that Rios posted a $2,500 bond on Sunday and is now prohibited from having contact with his wife.
Rios, a member of the Narcotics Division, commenced his service with HPD in May 2013. The standard protocol mandates the suspension of officers during investigations conducted by the department’s Internal Affairs Division. Updates on the case can be found on ABC13’s 24/7 livestream.
In a perfect blend of Starbucks, Stanley, and Target, a limited-edition pink Quencher was released on January 3, causing a shopping frenzy. Available exclusively at Starbucks stores within Target locations in the U.S., the collaboration prompted eager fans to queue up outside stores, navigating through sizable crowds to secure the coveted item.
A Starbucks representative confirmed to PEOPLE that the response to the release has been “enthusiastic,” with many stores already sold out. Unfortunately, they added that there would be no restocking of the 40 fl. oz stainless steel, vacuum-sealed tumbler, retailing at $49.95. However, resale sites like eBay feature dozens of listings, with prices soaring to nearly $200 as of January 5, attracting multiple bids and watchers.
To manage demand, several Target stores limited the number of cups each customer could purchase, a strategy previously employed during a similar Stanley drop featuring a red and light pink version. The frenzy continued with the release of two Target-exclusive Stanley tumblers in Cosmo Pink and Target Red on December 31 as part of the “Galentine’s Collection,” which quickly sold out online and in many stores.
One TikTok video shared by a customer in El Paso, Texas, captured the chaos as men and women rushed towards the tumbler display at the store’s center. The caption humorously noted, “Getting trampled for a Target Stanley Valentine’s Cup.” Reactions in the comments varied, with some expressing disbelief at the lengths people went for a cup, while others questioned the allure of the Stanley brand.
The sought-after Starbucks x Stanley cup commemorates the release of Starbucks’ winter menu on the same day, featuring a new permanent item—the Iced Shaken Hazelnut Oat Milk Espresso. The winter menu also reintroduced the Pistachio Latte and Pistachio Cream Cold Brew for a limited time. Starbucks expanded its “Bring Your Own Cup” rules, allowing customers to use personal cups like the Stanley for drive-thru and mobile orders, a change from the previous in-store-only policy.
Sugar Land, a city widely recognized for its affluence and safety, finds itself disputing a report by PropertyClub, a New York-based real estate marketplace, which labeled it as one of Houston’s most “dangerous neighborhoods.” The claim has sparked skepticism both online and from Sugar Land’s city officials.
In an October article with various errors, including misspelling the city name as “Sugarland,” PropertyClub asserted that Sugar Land ranks as Houston’s ninth most dangerous neighborhood, citing crime statistics data from 2021 and 2022. However, city officials and local residents vehemently disagree with the characterization.
Not only does Sugar Land stand out as a separate city in a different county than Houston, but it is also widely regarded as one of the most affluent cities in the state. With a population exceeding 111,000, Sugar Land’s median household income is reported to be over $120,000, a stark contrast to PropertyClub’s claim of just over $46,000.
Doug Adolph, Sugar Land’s communications and community engagement director, highlighted the inaccuracies in the report, emphasizing that the numbers used do not align with the city’s actual demographics. He suggested that the discrepancies might stem from a potential confusion with another community in the Houston area.
The article claims a violent crime rate of 1,228 per 100,000 people in Sugar Land, while city data for 2022 indicates around 100 violent crimes in a population of just over 111,000. Adolph clarified that the primary crime concern in Sugar Land is property crime, particularly vehicle burglaries and theft, rather than violent offenses.
Previous accolades, such as being named one of the top 10 nicest places in the country by Reader’s Digest in 2021 and recognized as one of the safest midsized cities in America, contradict PropertyClub’s portrayal of Sugar Land. Councilor Carol McCutcheon emphasized public safety as a top priority in Sugar Land, with a commitment to maintaining a low crime rate and ensuring residents feel secure.
Despite PropertyClub’s contradictory report, Adolph pointed out that the real estate marketplace had previously listed Sugar Land as the fifth safest area in Houston just three months prior. The inconsistencies raise questions about the accuracy and reliability of such assessments.
PropertyClub did not respond to requests for comment, and Adolph focuses on correcting the misinformation, particularly ensuring media outlets are aware of the inaccuracies.

The 2024 Golden Globe Awards promise a night of glamour, competition, and recognition for outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry. Tune in on Sunday to witness the star-studded affair that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
A brief and weak tornado touched down in the Houston area on Friday morning, marking the first tornado occurrence in the United States for the year 2024. The National Weather Service confirmed it as an EF-0 tornado with winds reaching 80 miles per hour, covering approximately 200 yards in Lake Jackson. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the damage sustained was minor.
Meteorologist Pat Cavlin of KHOU 11 highlighted that this tornado was the inaugural one to touch down in the contiguous United States in the new year. While the immediate aftermath showed no significant impact, residents are advised to stay vigilant as more severe weather is forecasted for Monday in the Houston area.
The timing, from early afternoon to evening, raises concerns about potential disruptions to events like the College Football Playoff national championship game.
