While sales have taken a bit of a dive and the Q2 dollar volume slipped below $1 billion, the average price per square foot for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas office space<\/a> held above the $200 mark for the fifth consecutive quarter. The combined Texas office markets are still coming down from the heights reached during the second half of 2016. There were no major sales closed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/bexar-county\/san-antonio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Antonio office market<\/a> during this past quarter, and sales activity in the top-tier markets of Austin, Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth wrapped up at 34% below Q1 dollar volume.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"sales\">Q2 Sales Volume Slides Below $1 Billion<\/h3>\n<p>During 2017&#8217;s second quarter, office sales volume dipped below the $1 billion mark, and it was the first Q2 in five years to do so. The $886 million amassed in disclosed-price transactions marks a 22% slip year-over-year. However, the fact that Q2&#8217;s dollar volume is 43% lower than the five-year quarterly average of $1.5 billion is no real reason for concern. Texas&#8217; combined office markets are generally stable, although the trailing five years averages are skewed by the record-high numbers seen in Q4 2015 and Q4 2016, as well as the record slump of Q1 2016.<br \/>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/commercial-real-estate\/us\/tx\/dallas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dallas<\/a>&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/fort-worth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fort Worth<\/a> Metroplex was the most active of the Texas markets, as 15 deals closed here during the second quarter, and carried almost half of the total Q2 sales. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/houston\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houston<\/a> followed closely behind, with $370 million in sales, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/tx\/austin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Austin<\/a> concluded Q2 with just over $108 million in disclosed deals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"q2_2017_texas-844\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Q2 2017 Texas\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,t,s,i){var n=\"InfogramEmbeds\",o=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\"),d=o[0],r=\/^http:\/.test(e.location)?\"http:\":\"https:\";if(\/^\\\/{2}\/.test(i)&&(i=r+i),window[n]&&window[n].initialized)window[n].process&&window[n].process();else if(!e.getElementById(s)){var a=e.createElement(\"script\");a.async=1,a.id=s,a.src=i,d.parentNode.insertBefore(a,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\",\"\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\");<\/script><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ppsf\">Average Price per Square Foot Still at Record High<\/h3>\n<p>Even though it dipped 8% below the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/texas-office-sales-market-ends-q1-positive-note\/#averageprice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Q1 record high of $294<\/a>, the average price per square foot only slipped down to second-highest level of the past five years. Currently resting at $270, Q2 2017&#8217;s average price is 22% higher year-over-year and a good 37% above the past five-year quarterly average. Albeit with understandable fluctuations, this metric continues its steady ascension and concludes the fifth consecutive quarter in which the Texas&#8217; average prices held well above the $200 mark.<\/p>\n<p>Of the top-tier Texas office markets that we analyzed in Q2, Houston stands out as the priciest.
