Wow, thats great! I guess the job growth is from the oil/gas industry? I know home prices values have been good.

Beside the history of Austin, I did notice how clean and nice it was there. I was there about 7 years ago for a few days and I enjoyed Austin a lot. I tend to agree with this.

After reading the full article and the comments posted in response to it, it seems that there is no solid agreement as to how good or bad this area is. Austin is a larger town so it’s numbers are going to be higher than other smaller cities, but do these high numbers mean that the city is actually a better place to live?

Job growth is going to be lower this year in Austin but it will still be ahead of most of the country.

Braxton, I don’t know too much about Austin, but trying to investigate as I work with some investors looking for deals in high growth markets. What type of job opportunity is coming? I heard about expanding businesses. Any big one’s?

Austin is a great place to live. The weather usually cooperates and gives us more blue skies than gray. There are a multitude of outside activities to partake in, and finding a spot to hear some live music is easy. There are several high tech companies, excellent hospitals and schools, and housing is more affordable here than other parts of the country. You can tell that I like it here.

Congratulations, I love Silicon Valley but I’m fairly sure that my neck of the woods will never be on this list!

That will help your real estate market. Years ago Forbes ranked Sarasota, Florida as the best small city in the country. That article definitely helped sell some real estate
