Layoffs certainly helped too
quote:

President Trump’s H-1B clampdown mixed with mass tech layoffs is cooling the Texas suburbs, and other parts of the country — and that may be the point. 

Indian tech workers once turbocharged home prices north of Dallas. Now they’re gone — and a housing correction is already underway.

For years, the suburbs north of Dallas were ground zero for one of the most extraordinary housing booms in America. Subdivisions multiplied. Prices soared. Builders couldn’t put up homes fast enough.

The engine behind it all was a wave of Indian-born H-1B visa workers flooding into high-tech jobs along a corporate corridor that attracted more company headquarters relocations than anywhere else in the country between 2018 and today, according to real estate firm CBRE Group.

Now that engine is sputtering — and the White House may be fine with that.

This is fake news, in my neighborhood there are many many Indians and building a lot more. Not sure about H1Bs but their population in Dallas suburbs is growing.

It’s the NY post, basically the enquirer.

Home prices have flattened a little in parts of Texas because new subdivisions pop up on a weekly basis. Endless supply being built and infinite growth forever.

There’s no oceans or mountains to stop it. DFW, for example, has about 9M people now, and will stretch from Hillsboro to Oklahoma in a few years.

Property values have needed a correction for a few years now. When pine plantations have gone from $1500 to over $5000 per acre in the last 10 years something is wrong.

I'm so far beyond this. If assimilation is even floating in the air, then I don't want you in my country.

As of mid-2026, the Indian population in Dallas suburbs like Frisco and Collin County remains very high (Asians ~33–34% in Frisco, with Indians the dominant subgroup), but inflows have slowed sharply due to federal H-1B visa tightening, tech/AI layoffs, and related outflows causing ~9% YoY home price drops in key areas.

Didn't Trump slap a $100k fee on H1Bs?

Or did some nut judge slap that down
