Texas is experiencing a data center boom, driven by the demand for AI infrastructure. With cheap electricity, ample land, and favorable business policies, Texas is well positioned for this expansion. A significant venture, Stargate, backed by OpenAI and others, is set to invest $500 billion in AI infrastructure, with 20 new data centers being constructed in Abilene alone. This growth is contributing to rising property demand and home prices, particularly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, while also highlighting ongoing affordability issues in the housing market.
Texas' business-friendly policies mean that the state's economic footprint continues to grow. Texas has the fastest-growing job market in the country, which creates the need for more housing.
The data center boom will likely drive up property demand and increase home prices in certain key areas. Texas is already enjoying strong economic and population growth, and new data centers are likely to draw additional workers.
