I know you have a hot market. It's going to be a good one in my area, too. We are already seeing lower inventory in the price ranges where there is the most demand.

Last year I did research on Austin for a client and was very impressed. I can see why it made #2 on that list.

I suspect Austin is a great place to live, as Texas in general is and I suspect Austin will be a strong market for some time.

Hope it's not going to get too strong too fast. My kids just relocated to Austin and want to purchase a home but want to wait until they figure out where they really want to live and what kind of neighborhoods and homes are available.
