✨ Welcome back to your insider’s guide to the Austin real estate market! I'm diving deeper this week with advanced insights that empower you to make smart, confident decisions. Whether you're a first-time buyer, seasoned homeowner, or looking to sell, this is the kind of knowledge that sets you apart.
It’s no secret that remote work has surged over the last few years. And that flexibility gave a lot of people the freedom to move — and work — from wherever they wanted.
But now, a growing number of companies are requiring employees to return to the office. And that’s leading some people to make decisions about where they live and if they need to move. According to Bright MLS and Keeping Current Matters, 51 % of people would have to move or endure a long commute.
Why This Matters: If you’re thinking you may want to move, don’t stress. Whether it’s finding a home closer to work, balancing commute time with affordability, or even selling a home in one area to buy in another, having a pro on your side makes the process easier.
