Here are the priciest new listings for sale in The Lone Star State, all posted to the Multiple Listing Service within the past 30 days.

Point2Homes analyzed listings in every U.S. state and Washington, D.C. to determine the most expensive home for sale in each.

Regionally, pending sales were down across the board on both a monthly and an annual basis, the National Association of REALTORS® said. 

Total housing inventory at the end of August was 1.11 million units, up 3.7% from July but down 14.6% on a year-over-year basis, the National Association of REALTORS® said. 

CoreLogic expects prices to continue to grow through next year, albeit at a more traditional pace than in the height of the pandemic. 

Luxury homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area make up a majority of the priciest new listings from the past month.

Pending transactions were in negative territory for most of this year, so the recent increases could bode well for future activity. 

A fifth consecutive month of increases in the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index suggests the housing market recovery that began earlier this year is likely to continue. 

Two weeks after housing inventory turned negative, home prices posted a healthy increase, MarketNsight said. 

High mortgage rates and limited inventory continued to weigh on sales activity, National Association of REALTORS®Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said. 

Single-family home permits and completions, meanwhile, also rose, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. 

Two of these expensive properties were listed by Laura Sweeney of Compass RE Texas.

The industry group issued its housing-market forecast along with its monthly Pending Home Sales Index for June. 

Back in 2018, Freddie Mac stated that the country still needed about 2.5 million extra homes in order to meet demand. Then the pandemic homebuying boom depleted already-low inventory levels and high mortgage rates in the second half of 2022 chained many homeowners to their existing low rates.

The median existing-home price for all housing types in June rose to $410,200, 0.9% less than the all-time high of $413,800 reached in June 2022, the National Association of REALTORS® said. 

Low inventory and high demand are buoying builder sentiment in the face of several headwinds.
