Why Right Now is the Best Time to Buy New Homes in Austin

With rates low and the local housing market on the up swing, now’s the right time to buy Austin TX real estate. The area just keeps on growing and home values are climbing again.

So why is the “Live Music Capitol of the World” such a great place to own a home? Here are a few reasons we thought of:

  • Quality of life is high while cost of living remains low – a home is only 7.5 times the median income. 
  • Unemployment is low. A Metrostudy report shows that about 35,000 jobs were added to the city from November 2011 to November 2012 alone. 
  • Mortgage rates are still low. For example, as of March 2013 a 30-year fixed loan comes in at 3.925% APR. 
  • For sports fans, Austin is hometown to the UT Longhorns. 
  • And, yes, Austin is a cool town to live in with plenty of fun to be had.

While Austin is perfect for home ownership, homes are selling fast. But if you’re looking for completed homes on the market that are move-in ready you can still snag the home that’s right for you and your family.

Highly desirable Taylor Morrison communities offer some exceptional options for Austin move-in ready homes ranging from modestly sized to spacious. Here are a couple of examples of Leander new homes:
