Wait a minute, where are all these $400k homes you're finding in Austin? I thought those disappeared about 5 years ago...

Joking aside, it wouldn't surprise me if $400k was close to the median price for homes within the city limits.




Within the city currently I believe 400k is actually on the low end.

Originally I wrote 500k, but changed it to avoid "no one should be complaining if they life in a half a million dollar home, that can buy so much in Ohio!!" type comments.


Funny enough $400k is pretty spot on: https://www.zillow.com/austin-tx/home-values/


I bought a house this year for $250k in 78744. Plenty others near that price range are available, but it is in a Mexican neighborhood with bad schools.
