“The Houston housing market continues to show strength as we enter the fall season, which is traditionally the time of year the market slows,” HAR Chairman Richard Miranda with Keller Williams Platinum said, according to Houston.org. “We are on track for another record year of sales, however higher home prices and the potential of rising interest rates could impact buyer demand in the coming months.”
