Buying in Loving, TX?
The buyer report puts conditions for buyers, the true monthly cost, negotiating leverage, and the risks to check on one page. $10 one-time, yours for good, updates monthly.
The score blends four signals, each ranked against every other U.S. market of the same kind: overvaluation versus local incomes (35%), payment burden (25%), the slide from the price peak (20%) and unusual price swings (20%). The score is a relative read: it ranks how exposed the Loving, TX housing market is if conditions turn, compared with other U.S. counties. It does not forecast that prices will fall. A correction also doesn’t require a 2008-style collapse: local pullbacks happen when supply outruns demand, when a single-industry job base contracts, or when affordability erodes enough to shrink the buyer pool.

How the Crash Risk score is calculated
Each of the four signals is converted to a percentile: this county is ranked against every other U.S. county with data, from 0 (lowest risk on that signal) to 100 (highest). The score is the weighted average of those percentiles, rounded to a whole number from 0 to 100:
- Overvaluation (35%). How far home values sit above or below the long-run norm of about 3.5 times local median household income.
- Payment burden (25%). The monthly cost of owning a typical home (a 30-year mortgage at current rates with 20% down, plus property tax and insurance) as a share of local median household income.
- Slide from peak (20%). How far typical home values have fallen from their all-time high. A deeper slide scores as higher risk, because a decline that is already underway can keep going.
- Unusual price swing (20%). How far the past 12 months of price change sits from the typical market's, in either direction. A sharp run-up and a sharp drop both add risk.
If a signal is missing for a place, the remaining weights are scaled up, and a place needs at least half of the total weight to be scored. Bands: Low is under 40, Moderate is 40 to 69, Elevated is 70 or higher.
Scores are recomputed for each calendar quarter from Zillow home values, Census income data and 30-year mortgage rates, and this page refreshes daily to pick up new data.
Limitations: because every signal is a percentile, the score says how a market compares with others, not the odds of a price drop. The income-based signals can overstate risk in resort, retirement, university and military markets, where buyers are not typical local earners. Inventory, days on market and price cuts are not in the score. See data sources.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Loving, TX housing market going to crash?
Nobody can say for certain, and Curb Report does not predict crashes. Curb Report has not rated the Loving, TX housing market yet, because not enough of its inputs are available. The score blends four signals, each ranked against every other U.S. market of the same kind: overvaluation versus local incomes (35%), payment burden (25%), the slide from the price peak (20%) and unusual price swings (20%). A high score means prices have further to fall if conditions turn, not that they will.
Is the Loving, TX housing market in a bubble?
"Housing bubble" means different things to different analysts. The closest measure in Curb Report's score is overvaluation, which compares home values with about 3.5 times local median household income, the long-run norm. Overvaluation is only 35% of the score, so see the full breakdown on the Loving, TX market page.
