Austin Texas Homes

On November 3, the City of Austin launched an online, comprehensive housing market study so they can better understand the needs and characteristics of Austin ’s residential market.  This is a much needed study for the Austin housing market.  Through the next two decades, the survey will focus on affordability needs.  The study is being conducted by BBC Research and Consulting firm who specializes in housing market evaluations, and is being overseen by the Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Office. 

BBC Research and Consulting firm is a leading expert in the housing market supply and demand modeling, housing needs studies for special needs populations, and affordable housing needs assessments.  The online study is just one of many components in the process.  Other components will include stakeholder focus groups that will assist in identifying solutions to the housing issues in Austin , telephone surveys that target a specific number of Austin residents to better understand what their housing needs are, and public meetings, which will be held from November 17 through November 20.  The public meetings will be held to gather perception of Austin ’s housing needs as well as the city’s housing preferences.  The public meetings will also let you share recommendations for better housing needs.

The housing market studies results will assist Austin ’s decision maker’s in the public, private and nonprofit sectors to contribute resources and make investments to help guide redevelopment and development of more affordable housing throughout the City of Austin .

Austin, Texas is not only a great place to live, it will soon be one of the most affordable places to live.
