Peeps still have to live somewhere and there is still some benefit to owning a home than renting .. it could just be over building in your area as well.. you see that a lot with condo developments the lag time to get them up is so long that by the time they come to market the market cant absorb more.Not sure in Austin other than there was from what I understand a large run up.. but I can see luxury pricing in Texas being an issue with the prop tax's that are quite a bit higher than other parts of the country but that is usually mitigated for texas residence who don't pay state income tax as there is none in Texas.. so I think texas for TExans is a great investment long term.
