Austin, TX- Over the past few years, Austin home prices have increased significantly, as have apartment rents, but some experts think a change is about to occur.

According to experts, Austin is the nation’s top market for apartment demand, and this demand is leading to an increase in apartment prices. The average cost of a two-bedroom home has increased by about 11–12 percent in the past year, to about $1,800.

In addition to the rapidly growing population, experts claim that rising property taxes, skyrocketing insurance costs, problems with the supply chain, and inflation are all factors in rent increases.

With new buildings opening week after week and even more on the way, experts say there is a small area of hope.

Many experts are predicting a shift from historic highs and a switch from a sellers’ to a buyers’ market for those looking to buy a home.

Btw for those saying housing bills don’t work, Houston is a great case study. We MUST avoid austin becoming like SF, where the original population can’t afford to live there anymore due to the tech boom. https://t.co/1SeSzYMUwp
