Austin is a well known city and a great place to raise a family or even retire in. It has much to offer any age group. During the 2nd quarter of 2010 you could purchase a home here for around $445,000 and there were about 9,000 on the market. It is the 35th largest city in the country according to a 2009 census. When this area was originally set in the 1830's it was called Waterloo. It eventually was renamed to Austin after Stephen F. Austin, the Father of Texas.

I have been studying waterfront communities recently. Two I just looked at are the Island at Mount Bonnell Shores and Watersedge.

Since contracts usually take 30 days to close it was thought that June would be mostly free of the effects of the tax credit. In fact after the June results were reported ABOR had a press release about how there was "Life After the Tax Credit". After the tax credit ended the results for June we [...]
Let's start off high level. For the general Austin real estate market we saw 1455 sales in October. That is up from 1219 sales in October 2010 for an increase of 19.4%.

That said I do think 2011 in general is stronger than 2010. In fact if we look at [...]
