Austin isn't just bouncing back — it's setting up for something bigger than anything we've seen yet. In this episode, I'm breaking down why the next wave of the Austin real estate market is going to surprise the people who wrote the city off, and what you need to be doing right now to be ready for it.
Why Austin is primed for its biggest comeback yet
After a correction that made national headlines, the fundamentals that built this city in the first place — job growth, in-migration, cultural gravity, and policy shifts — haven't gone anywhere. If anything, they're compounding. I wrote about why Austin is the most important city in the world right now, and every week that thesis gets stronger.
The signals I'm watching in the Austin housing market
- Zoning and policy tailwinds — the state vs. Austin zoning fight is reshaping what can get built and where.
- New income streams for homeowners — your home can now legally operate a business, which changes how we value residential property.
- Community- and brand-driven demand — what 3,500 people walking through my home taught me about where buyers are actually paying attention.
What you should do before the market turns
If you're thinking about buying, selling, or repositioning a property in Austin, the next 12 months are going to reward the people who moved early. Protesting your property taxes is table stakes. The bigger move is getting your home designed and priced for where the Austin market is going, not where it's been.
Thank you for tuning in! What are your thoughts on Austin?
