Supporting Local Builders, Strengthening Local Communities.
Originally chartered in 1967, the Greater Brazos Valley Builders Association (GBVBA) is a professional trade organization representing over 300 members across eight local counties. Affiliated with the Texas Association of Builders and the NAHB, we provide our community with safe, quality, and cost-effective housing while fostering responsible growth. Our commitment goes beyond construction; since 2022, we have donated over $90,000 to local non-profits through Brazos Valley Builders Care to help our neighbors and the community thrive!
Is Now Actually the Time to Build in Texas? (2026 Market Reality Check)
The Texas housing market is currently in a "reset" phase, with 2026 forecasts showing a 2.5% increase in home sales and a 1% rise in prices. While mortgage rates hovering around 6%+ have kept some on the sidelines, buyers now have more negotiating power as the market levels out. New construction is gaining an edge by offering energy efficiency and builder incentives, providing a strategic window for those looking for more options and less competition before the next upswing.
The best way to understand this market isn't online…
It's walking through real homes and seeing what's out there.
