Compare Austin to somewhere near Freemont or compare TX to CA. Comparing Austin to all of CA is more than a little dishonest since there's a lot of rural nowheres in CA to drag down the average price but the comparison exludes all of Texas's rural nowheres.
- kshacker 5y agoAbsolutely. I am a Californian, and when I see my family talking about the houses they bought in Texas, and yes maybe that was a decade back, and I compare them to an equivalent house in Cupertino (there are none maybe, and I am not that familiar with Fremont but I think it is the same range, just 10% lower worst case), the price difference has to be a million at least, could be more.
- asdff 5y agoThat's cupertino, look at concord for better prices.
- asdff 5y agoMedian home in LA county is 775k, lower than state median even. Concord CA, 35 minute drive from freemont, has a median of like 650k. Note I said median and not average too.
