Texans always enjoy seeing their state at the top of a list ranking the entire country, regardless of the subject. Now, there is yet another area claiming Texas as the best. A recent list of the busiest construction markets in the United States included multiple Texas cities, with Dallas landing the number two spot.

According to new data, there were 43,884 construction permits issued in DFW for 2020. The only city in the country with more was Houston, which claimed the number one spot with 48,208 permits for construction of single-family homes. The other Texas city making the list was Austin at number five, according to Dallas Culture Map.


As more and more people continue to move to Texas, builder are having trouble keeping up with "the phenomenal demand," said Ben Caballero, founder and CEO of Dallas-based HomesUSA.com. DFW saw a 21 percent increase in the number of single-family homes that began construction last year, according to The Texas Real Estate Research Center. It looks like Texans can expect more new residents in the years to come.
