Where Are People Actually Buying?

The sleepy suburbs of Austin aren’t so sleepy anymore.

 

“Back in the day, Cedar Park and Leander were sleepy little communities where people had to drive into Austin to be able to shop, eat or have any form of activities,” Horton said. “Today, they have all types of activities and restaurants and shopping at their fingertips. So they can live, work and play right there in their own backyard.”

 

Horton has seen a lot of changes in her 30-year career. The biggest is showing up this year.

 

“People are not investing in Austin proper,” she said.

 

The proof is in the numbers.

 

Leander tops the list

 

These are the ZIP codes that have sold the most houses so far this year:

 

78641, Leander: Median home price, $288,083; 1,632 homes sold

 

78130, Canyon Lake/New Braunfels: Median home price $240,000; 1,559 homes sold

 

78660, Pflugerville: Median home price $268,000; 1,548 homes sold

 

78613, Cedar Park: Median home price $327,250; 1,117 homes sold

 

78628, Sun City/Georgetown: Median home price $338,135; 1,010 homes sold
