Buying Austin Homes is a step-by-step guide for people buying a home in Austin and the cities around it, especially first-time buyers and people moving in from out of state.
Every guide is built from what the responsible bodies publish: Texas statutes, Travis County’s published tax rates, the Texas Comptroller, the Travis Central Appraisal District, the Texas Real Estate Commission, the Texas Department of Insurance, the City of Austin, TSAHC, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the U.S. Census Bureau.
We do not recommend or rank agents, lenders, builders, title companies or neighborhoods, and we do not take payment from them.
Tax rates, exemption amounts and program limits change from year to year. Before you sign, check the office named in each guide.
