Best Houston Neighborhoods In Land Value Appreciation
How to find Houston homes with good appreciation rates.
Houston home sales were up 13% and total dollar volume jumped 28% last year. However, the headline market statistics do not reflect what buyers and sellers are living.
Inflation rates are also approaching an all-time high.
The global economy, our anemic spending habits during the lockdown (Americans are sitting on $2 trillion in savings since the onset of Covid-19), and now our fast-paced return to normal life are all contributing to the inflation spike.
We have completed a study of 400,000+ Houston home sales to identify neighborhoods with land value appreciation rates that can outpace inflation. Historically, real estate is a good hedge against inflation as it has a "deflating effect" on debt.
The best investments tend to be single-family homes with the following characteristics:
- Located in quality neighborhoods that have good proximity to major job centers;
- Large lots (the primary value is the land value);
- Not located on a busy thoroughfare, near a highway, or near a railroad;
- A street location with some kind of premier feature (by a cul-de-sac, on a street with a tree-filled median, etc.);
- With a home that is liveable and can be rented. Typically, new construction homes come with a higher purchase premium, and “true fixer-uppers” require too much investment;
- Located with suburbs zoned to good schools and have excellent amenities.
Houston real estate is hyper-local. We've compiled the historical land value appreciation data of Houston's most popular close-in neighborhoods, top suburbs, and luxury areas.

Close In Houston: 10-Year Land Value Appreciation
Real estate is a good hedge against inflation because it has a “deflating effect” on debt long-term. As home prices increase over time, it lowers the loan value of any mortgage debt. This acts as a buffer to price inflation.

Benefits Of Working With The Houston Properties Team
Our Team, composed of distinguished and competent Houston luxury realtors, has a well-defined structure based on the individual strengths of each member.
We find team approach as the most effective way to sell homes. We have dedicated people doing staging, marketing, social media, open houses and showings. Each Houston Properties Team member is a specialist in their role – which is why our homes sell faster and for more money than average.
The benefits of working with a team include:
- ability to be in two or three places at one time: a member can handle showings, while another answer calls
- collective time and experience of members
- targeted advise and marketing of agent expert in your area
- competitive advantage by simply having more resources, ideas, and more perspectives
- a “Checks and Balances” system. Selling and buying a home in Houston is an intensely complex process
- more people addressing field calls and questions from buyers and agents to facilitate a faster successful sale
- efficient multi-tasking: One agent takes care of inspections and/or repair work, while another agent is focused on administrative details
- multiple marketing channels using members’ networks
- constant attention: guaranteed focus on your home and your transaction
- lower risk for mistakes. Multiple moving parts increase oversights. A team approach handles these “parts” separately
- flexibility in negotiation and marketing
- better management of document flow
- increased foot traffic through more timely and effective showing schedule coordination; and
- increased Sphere of Influence and exposure to more potential buyers.
