Austin Homes Remain Valuable Investment

Great news for Austin homeowners, your investment $$ in your home continues to grow despite the national housing woes.  From a recent article in The Showcase USA (a nationwide real estate industry newspaper), Austin, Tx. is in the news again!  Here is what the August 18, 2008 article had to say:

Austin-area home prices continue their upward trend, according to the latest Muliple Listing Service (MLS) report from the Austin Board of Realtors.  The median price for single family homes reached a record high for July, up three percent from one year ago to $195,000 and a record for July!

“Unlike many other areas of the country, Austin continues to enjoy increasing home values,” say ABOR Chariman Socar Chatmon-Thomas.”This, coupled with low unemployment rates and a steadily growing population, makes Central Texas a great choice for home buyers.”
