We know that home is now more important than ever—especially when you have one with space to move around. This shift to the indoors has created a new wave of homebuyers. But here in Austin, homeowners have not been selling. Nationwide trends show the lowest home supply since 2016. And, with interest rates at their lowest in over three years—15- and 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are sitting between 2.5-2.7%—these hopeful homeowners have more than one reason to want to buy now.

Interest rates that low ensure you won’t pay tens of thousands in additional interest over the life of the loan. And every percentage point matters, as even a seemingly small difference (say from 2.5% to 3.5% on a $200,000, 30-year mortgage) can result in you paying more than $100 more each month and almost $40,000 more over the life of the loan. But, while the demand is high with those wanting to lock in a low-interest rate, there aren’t enough homes in the market to meet it.

The answer to this is new construction. With communities in ideal locations across the Austin area, from Cedar Park to Kyle, MileStone has been working to create the homes buyers want to call their own. Larkspur, in the hill country just outside Leander, and Vistas of Austin, south of U.S. Route 290, are both popular communities that recently began new phases of construction, currently selling in the mid $200s—perfect for the first-time homebuyer. Now is also a great time to buy in our boutique communities, Wilson Trace (Cedar Park) and Summerrow (South Austin), where there are few homesites left, but will be move-in ready by the end of the year. There will also be other new-build communities delivering in the coming months, so be sure to sign-up for our VIP lists to receive first-to-know information on floor plans and pricing.

With that many opportunities and extremely low-interest rates, there is no better time to buy. As Garrett put it, “the market has come back and then some,” so take advantage of the moment! Become one of the many Austinites who have more MileStone homes to choose from to call their own.

The post Buying a Home Today: FAQs appeared first on Austin Homes for Sale | New Homes Austin | Milestone Home Builder Blog.

Texas BBQ is Best

We want to get ahead of this—while you’re entitled to your opinion, everyone south of the Red River knows that Texas BBQ is the best BBQ, and that’s just a fact. Beef brisket, pork ribs, sausage, and all the fixins from creamed corn to fried okra are much beloved statewide. While we love everything from mesquite smoked to molasses marinades, don’t ever say any state does it better…or that beans belong in chili. Trust us.

Texas Homes are Affordable

With plenty of land and high demand, the majority of Texas homes are appraised at $245,000 or less, with a median home value of $166,000. Styles vary from ranch to craftsman everywhere from the scenic hill country to lively downtown with layouts to suit any buyer. See what homes we have in our collection.

Texas Summers Can’t Be Beat

Come summertime (a.k.a March-October), Austin’s outdoor scenery takes forefront. Waterfalls and walking trails are enjoyed by the locals. Weekend trips to the lake, pool, or nearest state park are some of the favorites. We might be biased, but Barton Springs Pool, Hamilton Pool Preserve, and Jacob’s Well are some of Texas’ best summer spots.

Texas Has No State Tax

Texas is one of only nine states that has no state income tax. Of course, state infrastructure and services still have a price tag, so expect to see sales taxes as high as 8.25% and property taxes of 8.18% to make up for the difference. Still, Texas is one of the most tax-friendly states in the union.

Texas Football is Life

There are two seasons in Texas, summer and football. There’s only one place to be at the end of a workweek and that’s in the glow of Friday night lights cheering your local team to victory. Don’t be surprised if your Texan friends invite you to tailgate instead of brunch, even though kickoff isn’t until 6:00 PM—it’s simply the way. Football is deeply embedded in Texan culture and there’s nothing to do but join in the cheers and wear your face paint with pride.

Texan is a Language

Knowing the lingo will make you more of a local than any amount of brisket orders can. First, y’all is a proper contraction. Embrace it. Also, if there are more than five people in a group, expect to hear “all y’all”. It’s widely accepted as proper in these parts. “Britches” are pants, “worsh” means wash, and “bless your heart” is a polite expression of sympathy that can also be dripping with sarcasm—because we speak that fluently too. Now you’re ready and rarin’ to go (read: you’re prepared)!

Austin is Unique (and the Best)

We know this is a post about Texas, but we call Texas’ capital city home and think it is objectively the best place to live—and we thought you should know. Recently, Austin ranked as the nation’s third Top-Performing City in job and salary growth as well as the gross domestic product (GDP) of our leading high tech industry. We think this, along with a lower cost of living than comparable metro areas, higher education opportunities, no shortage of things to do, and a laidback atmosphere are enough to make our point.

Welcome to Texas, Y’all!

The official Texas state motto is “Friendship,” one word we think perfectly describes our people, our culture, and our way of life in what we Texans consider the greatest state of them all—we hope this will help make you feel a little more at home, friend.

If you have any questions on Texas life, leave us a comment below. If you’re thinking of making the move—check out our list of homes in North Austin, TX and South Austin, TX. We would love to hear from you!

Located at Old Settlers Boulevard and A.W. Grimes, the 139-home community features both one- and two-story plans and benefits from being both ten minutes from lively downtown Round Rock and right next to tranquil Meadow Lake Park. The latter grants trail access and views of its greenway and shimmering reservoir. And, with the approved extension of College Park Drive into Old Settlers, all of Round Rock’s offerings—including restaurants, Dell Diamond, and outlet shopping—will be all the more accessible for future residents.

The approval, recommended by both city staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission, will contribute to the city’s continued growth, only adding to its vibrancy. Sales will begin in Spring 2020—make Round Rock your new home in the new year.
