How is the economy doing for Austin
Charles and I have been following the economic trends very closely. We are by no means experts but our business depends on the general economic health of our community. Everything is so connected that to look at just one sector would not properly evaluate where we are. Thus far home sales are up about 5% as compared to a year ago and the median home price is up about 1%. The boost in sales is generally credited with the stimulus tax advantage and envolves properties in that price range. Jobs are the most important factor at present. While we have fared better than other places we have still experienced layoffs and downsizing. It is encouraging that Austin is ranked very high nationally for recovery in the business field. Our personal opinion is that we will experience a slow and steady growth. This is a real opportune time to take advantage of a home purchase.
