This is mostly accurate from what I've seen, but if you were willing to go as far out from the Austin city center as Houston's natural sprawl goes, you would probably get comparable home prices.
- nilkn 4y agoThis is a very good point that often gets overlooked. Empty lots in desirable inner loop Houston neighborhoods cost $1M. That's not really any different from Austin.
- JamesBarney 4y agoEvery large city has a desirable neighborhood with million dollar lots. But if you look at # of houses within 15 minutes of downtown that cost less than 200k. Houston is one of few that's still affordable.
- JamesBarney 4y agoThis is a fun off the cuff guess but if you look at a Zillow it's not true. Houses the same distance from the center of town are significantly more expensive in Austin. Everyone I know who moved from Houston to Austin moved twice as far from downtown and paid twice as much to do it.
- pfraze 4y agoInteresting! I stand corrected
- JamesBarney 4y agoIf you pick Zillow and look at houses under 200k you see a huge difference comparing Houston and Austin.
