im speaking from experience, I had 3 deals on new constructions in Austin fall through, so no need to adopt that dismissive attitude. Even if you don’t agree with other poster’s opinions, have the basic courtesy to respect them.

Lennar is a bit rubbish, but other than that, most are decent enough.

Hard to answer what appreciation will look like in a decade: With Covid driving Californians and others from Silicon Valley to the silicon hills, you never know... Austin could be the 2030 San Francisco! There are several folks on this forum who can give you insights... @Neil Narayan is my personal hero  given his depth of knowledge about both Austin and real estate, I’d love to hear his take on this!

I'm seeing so many in the 260s. Is this all this price hike because it's less than 20 miles from the proposed Tesla factory?

This is so interesting!

Does this extend to L Hills as well?

I would've thought Cedar Park would be more expensive than that.

I was going to start a new thread but decided to revive this one instead. 


How is Bastrop today for rental investments? I'm seeing new constructions upwards of $260K...that's kind of Leander circa 2016-18! 

Thanks Neil. So what does this mean for OOS investors like us?
