A house in Austin
2018: $275,000 2022: $725,000
Those are actual numbers from East Austin. I believe the 2024 market rate is $625,000 but it hasn’t changed hands again so I can’t say for certain.

And conservative Texans keep laughing that californians are moving to Texas because "They hate the blue politica$, never guessing that they would bring their blue politics and money with them, driving up land value. Definitely not saying that they’re bad, but that it’s ironic that they didn’t think through the consequences

The people fleeing California for Texas aren’t people who love California and its politics.
They’re mostly Republicans, and they’re making Texas more red AND increasing home prices.
