Austin vs. San Antonio Market Comparison
Savvy investors' thoughts on how San Antonio compares to Austin as a whole?
Most Popular Reply

Two different animals. San Antonio is driven by tourism, military and healthcare sectors. Austin is a giant research hub, tech center, state capital, and home to two generation of advanced manufacturing. The economies and cultures are very different which leads to very different real estate markets. Just look at how different ABOR operates compared to SABOR. Austin is cutting edge, fast paced, information driven. San Antonio is still classic old-school slow Texas good ole boy systems with limited information made public about the market. Which environment works best for you?
