| − | Austin, the main city town of Texas, is just one of my personal favorite places to live in. And not only is mine, the city reaches surface of many people's list of the very best places to reside in, which has made every inch of Austin real estate a hot cake among realtors. Last year, Money magazine selected the town as the No. 3 Best Big City in "Best Places to Live", also it was at No. 2 position in 2006. Other accolades that Austin has received include:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Greenest city in America, MSN
| |
| − | No.2 city with the best people, CNN Headline News and Travel & Leisure magazine
| |
| − | America's No. 1 college town, Travel Channel
| |
| − | 5th safest city
| |
| − | The least stressful large metro area, Forbes magazine.

| − | Now can the thing is why the homes within the capital city of Texas can be purchased well before "Austin Homes for Sale" placards are put before them? Not only that, the rub-off effect of Austin's property success can be seen on homes in Kyle too, a town 21 miles southwest of Austin. Call it Austin phenomenon that even "Kyle homes for Sale" placards don't have to wait longer before it is shoved inside the already crowded stowage.

| − | The Silicon Hills not the Silicon Valley
| |
| − | | |
| − | Austin also passes the name of the "Silicon Hills" because of the high concentration of high-tech firms operating within the city. 3M, AMD, Apple Inc., Applied Materials, Cirrus Logic, Cisco Systems, Dell, eBay/PayPal, Freescale Semiconductor (spun removed from Motorola in 2004), Google, Hewlett-Packard, Hoover's, IBM, Intel Corporation, National Instruments, Samsung Group, Silicon Laboratories, Sun Microsystems, and United Products are the names from the high-tech companies running their from Austin.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These businesses make the price of local property go through the roof compared to the property prices in many areas of rural Texas. But still it's less expensive than the housing cost in the Silicon Valley. That is why many tech giants are flocking to the city making "Austin Homes for Sale" placards disappear a lot more quickly than it should.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is not only the high-tech companies that are visiting the town; it is pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as well. 85 companies in the industry operate out of Austin.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These companies along with the state agencies, colleges, and universities produce so much of employment that it helps make the city a place in which a person can allow its dream to fly. The city is up for a dream run, and so are the folks living here.

| − | But, how about people who do not reside in Austin? How can they take advantage of opportunities presented by this city? Well, they need to subside within the city and for that they'll require a home in the city. The following paragraphs will help them look for a perfect nest I (almost) on their own in the city.

| − | 5 Austin property buying tips
| |

| − | Research the neighborhood: This is something anyone asks you to do. It is an absolute must because you are going to spend time with people there. See if the neighborhood is suitable for you personally or not, and if it can meet your needs or not. Check the following:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Crime rate
| |
| − | Schools
| |
| − | Supermarkets
| |
| − | Stores
| |
| − | Park
| |
| − | Sports club & gym
| |
| − | Doctors and hospitals
| |
| − | Police and fire department
| |

| − | Look for a realtor you can trust: Finding a reliable Austin realtor is as important as finding a good neighborhood. A real estate agent won't find the best home at the best price for you, but he will also assist you to get ready the locality. He'll help you find shops of daily requirement, and will also use his understanding of the city that will help you settle down. I've heard of many stories where Austin realtors have turned into an ongoing friend for their customers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Visit a number of houses: Don't commit a mistake of settling down for the house shown to you in the first go. Austin has numerous good houses in every neighborhood. Take a look at minimum 4-5 houses before deciding on any. Click pictures of each home that you visit, and ask for the benefits each has to offer.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Pay your Austin realtor well: Bargaining with an estate agent on his commission isn't that good a concept. In the end, it's on him that your property-search depends. A grumpy realtor may get a bad deal, whereas, a contented agent can get you the house at the most effective price.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hire a home inspector: A home inspector can help you evaluate the worth of the house you are thinking about. He will also tell you about things that will need immediate fixing, and things that can wait. He will spend an entire day in the home and can produce house audit report, that will cover every aspect of the ownership.
