There’s still no sign that the slowdown in Texas’ energy sector is having an impact on the state’s home prices.

Texas home sales prices were at a record high in the second quarter, according to a report by the Texas Association of Realtors.

Texas median home costs increased 8.1 percent year-over-year to $200,000, the real estate trade group said Monday.
