How Fast is Austin Growing?

While the numbers from source to source and year to year vary a little, there is no denying the fact that Austin Texas is growing and many sources over the past few years (including this year) put Austin in the top 3 major population cities in the nation--if not the number one position for growth. So, what are the numbers? For the sake of simplicity, there are more than 100 people per day moving to the Greater Austin area. This is incredible. 100 people a day. Think how long it would take to fill every home in your neighborhood if every person moving to Austin moved to your community. Of course, not everyone wants to live where you live, but there are large numbers of people wanting to live in the Austin area, including high growth areas of Williamson County (Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, etc) and many new communities to the West and South of Travis county are seeing new home communities as well. We should see the Greater Austin area reach nearly 2M people during the next few years. 

Where is it happening? The simple truth is, Austin is growing in all directions--horizontally and vertically! Any place where there is open land that is privately owned today, will most likely become a community or commercial development at some point in time in the not too distant future. Areas that were virtually unknown just 10 years ago like Leander and Liberty Hill are suddenly and viably "on the map". In a big way! And areas that were once farm lands of Hutto and Kyle are springing up communities for first time home buyers and homes under the Austin area median home price. The Austin satellite images are changing right before our eyes. And it is not just home owners, but investors of all descriptions are back in Austin with a vengeance.  

Some people may look at this less favorable than others, but the undeniable truth is that employers find the Austin area highly desirable and as long as jobs multiply in our communities, so will new communities, families, schools, hospitals, hotels, new roads, restaurants and new everything.

It is a changing world. I hope you are a part of this exciting and challenging change in our Great "city". Austin is something different to each of us, but it is something special to all of us.
