Austin Texas Real Estate - Homes

Once again, the Austin economy has managed to make it onto an encouraging list.  Yesterday, Austin was named #5 on Forbes.com's list of places where home prices are likely to rise.

The study looked at the following criteria to develop this list:

• Projected housing starts
• Job growth figures
• Cost structures for local businesses
• Composition of local economies

Clearly, this is very good news for those of us who are involved in selling Austin Texas real estate.  Recently, the chief economist at Texas A&M, Mark Dotzour, predicted that Austin would likely recover much faster than the rest of the country.  His prediction was that we would see a big swing between now and next summer sometime, probably in the spring.  Dotzour also estimated that Austin will add roughly 8,500 new jobs in the next year.  To read the entire article with his findings, you can visit:
