About Cameron County

What makes the Cameron County market different

  • Homes in Cameron County are newer than the national mix: 2% were built before 1940, against 12% for the U.S. Newer houses usually need less work before a resale or a rental.
  • 61% of owner-occupied homes in Cameron County have no mortgage at all, against 39% nationally. An owner with no loan has more equity, which leaves room for a price that works for both sides.
  • 14% of housing units in Cameron County stand vacant, against 10% nationally. An empty house still carries taxes, insurance and upkeep, and owners who inherited one or moved away are often ready to talk about selling.
  • HUD sets the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom home for the Brownsville-Harlingen, TX area at $1,393 a month, against a median home value of $120K in Cameron County. Set those two side by side to judge whether a buy-and-hold rental pencils out before you make an offer.
  • Permits were issued for 2,702 new housing units in Cameron County in 2025, up 15% from 2024. Rising construction is a sign of demand for housing here.
