Austin Is The Place To Live- Affordability Showcase

October 24, 2007

view-of-the-capitol-in-austin-texas-with-the-frost-tower-in-the-background.jpgAustin is the place to live and if you aren’t here yet, we’ll give you yet ANOTHER reason to move- affordability!  Because of the gorgeous landscape and endless lakes, much of our entertainment is free (can you say hiking, biking, swimming?). 

But who are we kidding- the best deal in Austin is housing!  Last year, the national median home price was $221,900 while Austin’s median price was only $173,700!  While prices have increased (congratulations home sellers!) since last year, Austin will forever be less expensive than real estate on the east or west coast and the landscape is just as beautiful!

Where does Austin rank nationally?  According to Travel & Leisure magazine, here are the national affordability rankings:

1. San Antonio, TX
2. Nashville, TN
3. New Orleans, LA
4. Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN
5. Austin, TX
6. Portland, OR
7. Philadelphia, PA
8. Charleston, SC
9. Denver, CO
10. Dallas/Fort Worth, TX
