Over the past year, Austin has experienced a notable rise in property prices alongside an influx of new residents. This weekly post is intended for you to ask questions, seek advice, or get information regarding real estate while preparing for a move to Austin.
Apartment inquiries have generally been discouraged on this platform; we typically advise contacting an apartment locator. Nevertheless, you may post them here if necessary.
In addition, any new, open-ended questions about Austin properties and real estate may be consolidated here at the discretion of the moderators. Many frequently asked questions will be redirected to this thread to create a centralized location for information exchange.
If you’re encountering issues as a tenant in Austin, we encourage you to reach out to the Austin Tenants Council for assistance with rental-related matters.
We also recommend looking through past “Weekly Real Estate” discussions to find responses to previous questions.
