Texas Manufactured Housing Market Report February 2026 - Sales Data & Analysis

Early Look

New manufactured home sales for February 2026 titled to date are so far down a seasonally-adjusted 2.6% from the previous month but are running 19.5% above February of 2025 as the titling shift that has been underway since August of 2025 continues to inflate year-over-year numbers. Home sales that would have previously been titled with an earlier purchase contract date a year ago are now getting titled with a later date of when the change in ownership ultimately occurred.

Until we get through the summer of 2026, year-over-year numbers should remain high, especially for the early look.

As you can see in the plot below the early February reading and the very early March sales counts are running above the previous years due to the titling cadence change. The shift will add noise to the seasonal-adjustments, but they’re still one of our best gauges on the health of the retail market.

The comparisons in the table below are based on where the previous month’s numbers were when originally reported on one month ago.

Titled on Time

New home sales for January titled to date were down a seasonally adjusted 12.2% from the previous month and are up 7.9% on the raw total from January of 2025.

The seasonally-adjusted December total was a series record for the data we’ve been tracking since 2012, as the cadence shift concentrated sales that would previously have been revised into earlier months into December instead. January’s SA decline reflects normalization from that record December total.

While the plot above contains revised totals for previous months the comparisons in the table below are based on where the previous month’s numbers were when released one month ago.

The 12-month moving average for retail sales is currently plotted through December 2025. Until those lines cross again, shipments will continue to face headwinds.
