Basic economics, increase demand without similar increase in supply will raise prices.There is a growing strong latent demand, people are delaying household formation or doubling up with other families right now.If rates stay the same, the growing latent demand will begin to force its way into the market as people capitulate and decide they simply have to have a place of their own.In areas with consistent population increases and current housing shortages, stable rates will lead to strong appreciation of existing housing values and increased median home prices.

Also a side note, when looking at an STR investment in Austin, factor in the high annual property taxes that can get up around 2% of the appraised value of the house (ie house appraised at $500,000, pay $10k/year in property taxes)Hope this helps.

Did you increase the property tax basis to the new acquisition value?

When renting long term to a company to arbitrage your property as a STR, how does this affect the rent value?
