Austin MSA

Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos ranks #1 of 24 Texas metros in median monthly owner cost, according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest data. At $1,980, this reflects not a failure of affordability, but the price of a thriving, resilient urban core. This is the real estate market of a city that has graduated from growth to maturity.
