Three mistakes I see people make after they move to Austin.
Skipping the property tax number. Texas has no state income tax, and property taxes are where that shows up.
Never driving the commute. Try it on a weekday at rush hour, not on a Sunday.
Picking the house before the area. Zilker, Tarrytown, the East Side, and Westlake don't feel alike.
Check all three before you make an offer. If you're moving here, book a free Zoom relocation planning call and we'll help you work out if this area fits your lifestyle and budget.
