Homes in Spring that pencil right now

A sample of active Spring listings whose DSCR clears 1.25 using short-term rental income projections we accept as a direct lender. These are spread across the price range, not ranked, and current as of August 2026.

As of August 2026, we analyzed 1,601 active for-sale homes in Spring, Texas. The typical listing is priced at $375,000 and is projected to generate about $41,922 a year as a short-term rental.

After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 48.5% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — roughly in line with the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Spring #115 of 200 for cash-flow potential.

On market momentum: homes in Spring sit a median of 44 days on the market, and 35% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a steadily paced market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.

For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — Spring runs tighter once operating costs are accounted for: many listings need a below-median price, a stronger short-term-rental setup, or more money down before the income covers the payment. It's a market where running the numbers property-by-property matters.

What actually works in Spring

Spring works for investors, but the window is specific: 273 of the 1,164 Spring homes, condos and townhomes we can price confidently clear a DSCR of 1.25. Nine in ten of them are priced under $360,000.

Share of those listings clearing an DSCR of 1.25, by price and bedroom count. The smaller figure is the median DSCR for that group.

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
