... Buda is essentially in far south Austin. And I heard there was a Round Rock, Texas zip code that only had one house on the market a couple weeks ago ... R.R. is far north Austin. My question is, is the Austin real estate situation unusually hot 🔥 or is it that way where you are too ? ML

atwatermtk Its similar in southern Rhode Island. Lots of people from Connecticut and New York are realizing they can get much nicer and cheaper property closer to the ocean then in their own shit states. Last year an average house in my area was 270-300k now its more like 400-500k

keyspeed09 Cycle of Nations: Rise of governments: Low taxes and very little regulation leads to people coming together to create economic booms. People move to cities from small towns to participate in the economic booms and better themselves. (Urbanization Phase) The Decline: Governments become greedy with taxes and over regulations and begin to see people as economic slaves. Rule of law begins to break down. The Fall: It is no longer in the peoples interest to stay in the cities and the population shifts away, this is the Suburbanization Phase. This suburbanization has historically always led to the death of the empire, nation or city-state. It is the same pattern regardless of the century or culture.
pickcha_t8kr Colorado is almost un-liveable IMO. I live along the front range (Ft.

oneperfectdose There is a lot of factors. My two close friends are in realty and loans.
It isn't just Californians, nationwide people are leaving cities. With companies no longer require in office work people are realizing they don't need city life anymore. This includes Austin, Dallas, and Houston. This is why you are seeing the radius of major metros exploding.
Next thing is money is practically free right now. A mortgage at 2.75% is absurdly low. That can drastically increase purchase affordability.
Price is a factor for transplants but remember. If someone qualifies for $500k mortgage in California, they may only qualify for a $300-$350 mortgage in Texas. Reason is property tax. In CA that tax is just above $5k for $500k home but in Texas tax on a $300k home is $6k.

The next cheapest house in my neighborhood was 140 for the same square footage. I live near a large city park on the other side of which there are no houses under 250. It's hard for Texans to wrap their head around it, but Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana our only within a couple hours drive of each other.

herr_grothuss There a ton of California people moving here and out bidding natives. The house prices are rising fast.
- manning_motorsports @i_dont_exist6six6 not so much the Californians honestly as it is middle east and northern states.
- buckp79 @i_dont_exist6six6 same in northern nevada currently
big_richard_1984 Prices are up on homes right now. Even in small towns with bad school districts. I'm live about 45 minutes south of Houston. I think the housing market is going to collapse again but that's just my opinion. 3 likes

- swordandscield @rixhardg That's insane. I was dying to move back there but now not so much. Sad to see it change so much over the last 15-20 years. Plus the Guadalupe is sort of like I10 in Houston during the weekends in summer. Oh well. I still love it though. 1 like

- milla_da_fish_killa @laruetactical it seems to be standard practice in Houston to drive slow in the left lane, the extra California and New York people don't help any. 1 like
- evlgreg @laruetactical I drove in California in November and figured out that even in California all Californians try to use the left lane. The right lane has a truck in it every half mile or so and the people in the bumpee to bumper left lane pop into the right lane speed up to pass and try to merge back into the left lane before they get to the truck. It's absolutely insane. When you get to a big open stretch of road in Utah or Nevada the highway could be empty, but there will be a Californian sitting in the left lane. And before someone says people drive like that everywhere I drove from Ohio to California in 2020 and I drive out west a few times a year and it's really only like that in California. 90% of the cars in Utah Nevada and Colorado that were cruising in the left lane for no reason had California tags. I'm sure Texas will be like this shortly 1 like
- eubanksalan @laruetactical its just as bad in Oregon with the left lane hogs. Except half are California and the other half is Washington. For most of my life this state has been blue because of the trash in Portland, Salem, and Eugene but at 41 yrs old I remember when it was red before California invaded. 1 like
- erasmology @laruetactical don't let those Californians left lane hog it down there. One of my favorite things when I've been in Texas is people following the left lane is for passing rule. I'm a native Californian and drives me crazy the jackholes camping in the left lane. 1 like
- bruceshibley @laruetactical no it's because they are mindless. I still live amongst them here in CA. They want to get in the left lane and turn their brain off. Or Vice versa. Hordes of ex Californians is as awful as a swarm of anything...

whitejacob Lots of Cali residents flooding into AZ too. Houses in the Phoenix valley area are selling the weekend they're listed and bidding wars are somewhat common now. We just sold our house for 15k more than what was recommended we list it at and 5 more than listing price.
