Why are home prices rising in the Houston Suburbs? Why are home prices rising in the Houston Suburbs? Hi friend. In this video I am sharing my two cents on why home prices are rising in the Houston Suburbs. I recorded 9 videos in between house showings. I hope you don't mind, but I recorded them in my car. We have some facts in here mixed with opinion. :) Why are home prices rising in the Houston Suburbs? 1. More investors than normal are purchasing in our market. 2. Relocations are higher than ever before. 3. Low inventory because of the high demand. 4. Costs have increased because sellers know they can right now.
