Talk me out of buying a house in Austin faggots

I literally can't. I'm not American but Austin/Texas is a city/state I'd certainly move to if I ever moved to USA.

Good choice, OP.

Wondering how much the housing market might depreciate. Would be nice to secure a few properties to rent cheep to friends who want to actually be able to save money.

It seems like the Austin bubble is no where near bursting

I dont think anyone will want to own SFRs over next 40 years.

Its just a geolocation to find you and tax you. You have to subsidize renters and count on greater fool theory

Kindly fuck off, austin is full, the houses have 3-4x in price over the last 10 years, downtown is a goddamn disaster now, no one in austin is from austin so it's just skirting by on the "old austin" charm that no one understands anymore, its a liberal shithole now, the city council encourages homelessness, traffic makes you want to KYS, the suburbs are just standard sprawl, south austin has a hipster charm if you like modern architecture limited to 1800 sq ft, with a $600,000 pricetag and texas has massive property taxes.

Also to add lots of people last 1 year here and either tap out from the 5 months of heat, miss winter and leave to somewhere with season, or unironically want to KYS when they get cedar fever allergies in march and have to sit inside with a swollen face.

You’ve clearly never lived in a large city with real problems. Austin “rush hour” lasts 45 minutes and the homeless gather in small numbers. Anything west of Texas doesn’t have seasons either and the heat isn’t anything compared to west Texas or Arizona. Grow a pair

You're a retard for buying now, and you'll be even more of a retard for buying next year. The great thing about housing prices is that they are a lagging indicator. Wait until the market crashes, and then when the bailouts and shit are getting put together, then and only then do you buy.
