Best In Texas Real Estate™: Hill Country

The Texas Hill Country is facing an interesting dynamic. While the Dallas Fed reports a 12% year-over-year decrease in residential home sales volume, largely attributed to a 15% surge in energy costs, population growth continues at a steady 1.8% according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This contrasts with markets like Georgetown TX, which may be experiencing different demand drivers or cost pressures. What are your observations on how rising operational costs are reshaping buyer behavior in desirable regions?
