Austin Texas Rent to Price Ratios by Zip Code

[Victor Steffen]

Hi BP, I pulled together this data set as a tool to help highlight pockets within the Austin MSA that show the strongest price to rent ratios. I thought there were some interesting take aways and the group may find it interesting as well.

A few notes: 

• All data was pulled from the MLS so this does not account for off market deals
• If a zip code had fewer than 20 sales in the last 90 days it was deleted from the list
• I used the 75th percentile rent and the 25th percentile sold price from each zip (this is a common target for my clients)

I'm thinking it would be fun to overlay public school ratings next!

Cheers y'all

Interesting. Not a single 1% zip code
