Of the top 10 markets with the most single-family construction activity over the last year, six are located in Texas and the Southeast. The ranking table below shows the top 20 markets in the country. We have ranked them in order of the total number of single-family permits pulled over the last 12 months. Tracking metro-level permit trends gives insight into which housing markets are growing and by how much. Houston, driven by strong job growth, a growing population and an accommodating building environment, has seen more than twice the amount of permit activity than 2nd ranked Dallas. Eighth ranked Raleigh, which has one of the smallest populations on the list, is now ranked one spot ahead of its vastly more populous neighbor Charlotte.
