I'm having a hard time finding info that supports this. Texas currently has just over 100k homes for sale - thats total homes, so new builds (as this chart shows) would be significantly lower. This is high, but definitely not the highest ever and it was higher 3x since 2018. I didn't check the other southern states. I'm not saying it's wrong, just that i couldn't find support for it. If you do, please share.
Here's the website that shows new homes for sale. It does verify 300k in the south. i didn't expect the South (299k) to be over half of the total US (480k). https://www.census.gov/construction/nrs/data/series.html
