DALLAS — The pandemic drove many buyers away from cities and toward properties around North Texas lakes. Over the course of this year, that rush has died down.
The number of home and lot listings around lakes in Texas jumped from just over 8,500 in February to almost 13,000 in August, according to a just-released report from Lake Homes Realty, a brokerage based in Alabama that sells lake properties in 34 states.
Texas is the largest lake real estate market in the U.S., with 12,945 land and lot listings as of August, followed by Florida (8,990) and Tennessee (5,849). The Lewisville Lake market, with 1,289 listings, had the third-highest number of listings of any lake market in the nation, behind Lake Michigan and Puget Sound.
