1. This article is behind a paywall for most people

2. This article is mostly about Austin, and somewhat about Dallas. Not Houston, which is not experiencing the same magnitude of a dip in home prices

3. A small dip of 1-3% in Houston is not significant in comparison to a ~40% increase over the past few years. Look at this chart and tell me if you think that little dip at the end really looks like “strategic timing”
