Austin is a cool town. I've lived on the east coast, west coast, midwest and have been in Austin for the last 10 years. There has been tons of growth here even in the time I've been here. If you are coming from one of the coasts Austin is still really affordable, but that's relative. We bought a house here and surely couldn't in cities like Oakland, NYC, Boston, LA etc. People are cool here and you really can kind of do anything you want if you are available to jump on opportunities when they open up. The heat gets annoying after a while. When you are in month 5 of 95+ degrees everyday you start getting sick of it. Jeremy said that it cools off at night... I don't know about that during the summer. Maybe from 101 to 98 haha, but the sun going away is a nice relief. It's hot here but the sun is BRUTAL. Something to think about if you have young kids, you can't play outside for long extended periods of time during the summer. People love dogs here, so that's cool. There are a lot of cool things about Austin, some of those things are going away and lots of old timers here will tell you it sucks now... agains that's relative, Austin for sure used to be more chill and cheaper but it's still a nice place. The city is pretty segregated still, which is the worst thing about it IMO. The school system is just ok, unless you are west but even then Texas is ALL about test scores and it's not the best. I'm a teacher so I know. The homeless issue is real, but supposedly the local government has some programs in place that are going to help those poor people soon. It's really unfortunate for all. My family is considering moving out, mostly cause we have young kids and don't love the schools, but it's a pretty cool city with opportunities and it seems like it's on the cusp of really exploding and actually becoming less affordable. Oh and the traffic, again it's relative... It's bad for Texas, it's still nothing compared to LA, NYC, Boston, and The bay area.
I can get double the distance in 20 minutes in Austin than I can in Salt Lake City. Sounds solid, I'm here for it. Plus housing costs are similar, wages are similar, job prospects are better. That's it I'm coming to Texas. My mom and grandma were born there too!
I’m really glad you brought up the property tax issue. I was flabbergasted to learn that in LA the property tax rate is .78% vs. 2.21% for Austin! Now while CA has personal income tax and Texas doesn’t, 1% of your income (say $100,000) is a heck of a lot less than 1% of $400,000. What’s interesting is people look at Texas as a “lower tax” state, it’s not actually true. The difference is in how each state taxes it’s residents. Definitely something to consider.
Thank you! I try to convey this on all my videos when we compare prices. Property tax virtually wipes out the affordability. Although homes can be cheaper.
thinking about moving from Southern California to Austin... traffic? that's cute... Price? $400k ? sounds like a deal to me. Homeless people? Totally used to it.. not sure about this UT yet...
Well, reach out if you have more questions. Really the are only 3 downsides. Higher property taxes, Traffic, and summer heat. Yet, it’s probably the best City In Texas.
@@frankdiaz6578 You are acting like you were the first settler in america that claimed Austin, and built a wall. Remember all those freedoms that you brag about?

Austin has tough traffic and high housing costs.Transplants might consider (New Braunfels, Canyon Lake area, San Marcos, Wimberly). Work from home makes these work better. Check out Veramendi master planned community in New Braunfels. Float the Comal & Guadalupe Rivers. Catch concerts in Gruene; try restaurants in downtown New Braunfels.
Jeremy you have one of the most honest and real videos regarding Austin I have seen since 2018. Buda is just as expensive as Austin. You just ruined peoples lives by signaling Pflugerville, which used to be a nice quiet place, thanks a lot Jeremy. Just messing with ya. Really, I appreciate your honesty about Austin and as a former resident I can confirm everything you said is true. I actually got a throat infection when I first ate at Whataburger when I first moved to Austin. It was the last time I ate there as well. Now, here is the most important thing you must know before moving to Austin. Austin is in financial crisis, Austin’s financial problems stem mostly from unfunded retirement obligations that have accumulated over the years. Of the $9.4 billion in retirement benefits promised, the city has not funded $2.9 billion in pension and $2.4 billion in retiree health care benefits. Furthermore, Austin did not have enough money set aside to weather the current pandemic and fluctuations in the market. The city is expected to lose some revenue as a result of the pandemic and its impossible to determine how much they will need to maintain services and benefits. Austin had $4.3 billion available to pay $6.4 billion worth of bills. Austin's financial position worsened by more than 100 percent or $1.1 billion mostly because the city's pension plans experienced investment losses and reduced the discount rate used to estimate plan liabilities. And yet there are still people moving there in droves. Shows you how irrational the wisdom of crowds really is and also nobody reads their city's financials. Remember, what a city owes, will be taken out of your hide, and as of this writing Jeremy, the city of Austin needs to divest you of $7,600 to pay its bills. Good luck brother.
There are so many great church’s in Austin. A newer one just opened in N Austin that is primarily a young base. Very cool church! Austin is a really great place for young people!
Water Burger really does suck. Like... East coast has Shake Shack and West coast has In n' Out. Whataburger cannot compare and I lived in TX most of my life lmao.
You can’t find anything in the outskirts either for anything under 500k in the area. Haha circle C for 500k, I wish. I looked in that area could find anything, most thing ms were 750k not accounting for the bid war. I just bought my home for a crazy amount. I was being outbid every time by 100k-200k over my offers that were already over asking. Expect to pay 500k-750k for a decent home in a state without major repairs. Just had a friend pay 450k for a flooded home.

I have a video coming out Tuesday talking about Kyle and Buda. Stay tuned. Depending on the field you are in, there are jobs in Kyle/Buda. Most people commute to Austin for work. There is a lot of outdoor fun in K/B in Bars and Restaurants. I posted a video on why Austin is the best City. A lot of that video compares to B/K.

Unfortunately, Austin is not anymore such a nice city as it used to be. On top of that, I have been looking to buy a house, and it’s nearly imposible at this point with an average salary, besides they were asking 3,027% for property tax. On a $400k house that’s $12k a year just for property taxes, and salaries are not high at all. Moving out very soon.
@@JeremyAKnight Then you are the perfect candidate to help me! SD, Austin and Miami are my 3 best candidates for relocating. I was born and raised in Italy, spent the last 10 years in Wisconsin and now I am done with the winters here. Where do I go???

I lived there in 1998 & learned: It's impossible to park downtown. Housing is expensive. I-35 is slower than a glacier during rush hour. I know 2 people who have lived there 40+ years & they said it's gotten worse. I don't know, I drive around Austin now when I go to the Hill Country. The toll road saves me 2 hours at least.
Traffic can’t be any worse than where I live just outside of Manhattan lol. And housing is still MUCH cheaper. So far the cons of Austin still seem like perks 😂

Jeremy Knight Your Moving To Austin Texas Guide Better be at La BBQ lol the rest is all hype yes even Micklethwait Craft Meats before you go that rout 😅 . But if BBQ is all you eat you must be shitting smoke ring turds 💩.
Haha! I lived in San Diego for a long time and Austin is very different. People are much nicer, and the overall culture is amazing. While Austin does struggle with Big City Issues, I'd take it over LA or SD any day. But the weather can be rough.
YES PEOPLE MOVE TO AUSTIN !!! Way better than LA which is 20 min to MALIBU, 1 hr to SB. AUSTIN so nice next to BUDAH, better than LA 1 hr 15 min to BIG BEAR. AUSTIN better 30 min to BASTROP, not LA 2 hrs to San Diego. AUSTIN BETTER 1 hr to Fiesta Taco Texas in San Tonio, NOT LA that has Hollywood , Universal Studios and Disneyland. Fiesta TACOS is better. Austin has way better ski resorts, not us. We only have TAHOE and MAMMOTH......not good. TEXAS has great beaches with brown water. Not us, we only have Monterey/Carmel and San Simeon, Ventura, Big Sur all not that great like TEXAS BROWN WATER.
I have no comments at this time. Check with me later, and maybe I would have visited Austin, but probably would never step foot in there. For all I know Texas could be a shithole, and especially Austin...lol...just kidding.
PROPERTY TAXES.... Texas = 1.83% of assessed value. California = 1.0% of assessed value. *****PROP 13 ADVANTAGE**** Prop 13 says your purchase price REMAINS your ASSESSED VALUE for as long as you own your home. That 'assessment' can only be increased 2% per year MAX... Example, I bought my home 15 years ago for $425,000 today it is worth $880,000.. I pay property taxes on that original $425,000 x 1.% = $4,250 in Texas, I would be paying 1.83% on $880,000 = $16,104. In the next 8 to 10 years my house will go over $1.2 million dollars in value. Texas taxes = $1,200,000 x 1.83% = $21,960 per year ( = $1830 PER MONTH IN PROPERTY TAXES ALONE...?? REALLY???))... In California my "BASIS" remains $425,000 (plus a MAXIMUM increase of 2% per year) I might be paying $5,800 (about $483 per month) in taxes on a $1.2 million dollar home. The reason taxpayers in California passed Prop 13, is that long time home owners.. like senior citizens were being TAXED OUT of their own homes...
@@howellwong11 So.. basically the Texas Government can bankrupt all of its property owners, simply by assessing their property to 'whatever' level they like, and tax you at whatever rate they want...?
Yes property taxes go up a lot every single year for no reason! its ridiculous! They say your home is worth a lot more every year even though it's not!

LOL 400k look at what you get in Los Angeles for 400k...yea nothing 😂
Property taxes are also 2.3+ vs. .08 in most of California
I have no comments at this time. Check with me later, and maybe I would have visited Austin, but probably would never step foot in there. For all I know Texas could be a shithole, and especially Austin...lol...just kidding.
PROPERTY TAXES.... Texas = 1.83% of assessed value. California = 1.0% of assessed value. *****PROP 13 ADVANTAGE**** Prop 13 says your purchase price REMAINS your ASSESSED VALUE for as long as you own your home. That 'assessment' can only be increased 2% per year MAX... Example, I bought my home 15 years ago for $425,000 today it is worth $880,000.. I pay property taxes on that original $425,000 x 1.% = $4,250 in Texas, I would be paying 1.83% on $880,000 = $16,104. In the next 8 to 10 years my house will go over $1.2 million dollars in value.
Texas taxes = $1,200,000 x 1.83% = $21,960 per year ( = $1830 PER MONTH IN PROPERTY TAXES ALONE...?? REALLY???))... In California my "BASIS" remains $425,000 (plus a MAXIMUM increase of 2% per year) I might be paying $5,800 (about $483 per month) in taxes on a $1.2 million dollar home.
The reason taxpayers in California passed Prop 13, is that long time home owners.. like senior citizens were being TAXED OUT of their own homes...
Most of Austin is 2.21%. And most cities are higher. So your math is off. But the point is still the same. Yet, you are paying much higher income tax.
@@JeremyAKnight True State income tax is a bit higher, but my income is not likely to double to triple, like my home will.
Yes, I love to have Prop 13 in Texas, but where else would we get money to run the government.
@@howellwong11 So.. basically the Texas Government can bankrupt all of its property owners, simply by assessing their property to 'whatever' level they like, and tax you at whatever rate they want...?
Yes property taxes go up a lot every single year for no reason! its ridiculous! They say your home is worth a lot more every year even though it's not!
