A few days ago the Austin Chamber Of Commerce published a very good summary of employment and unemployment in the Austin area. This chart points most directly to a key strength of our local economy:
Obviously, most of the other cities in that report are not experiencing the market strength we see here in Austin, but that has much to do with where they were before the bubble burst in 2007/2008, and how far their housing markets fell before showing any signs of rebounding.
The Chamber’s report does a great job of describing where Austin’s employment growth (and losses) have come from, and how we compare to other cities in Texas and elsewhere. This is well worth a read.

About Bill Morris, Realtor
More than thirty years of business experience (high tech, client service, business organization and start-up, including many years in real estate) tell me that service is the key to success and I look forward to serving you. I represent both buyers and sellers throughout the Austin metropolitan area, which means first-hand market knowledge is brought to bear on serving your needs:
-- Seller Representation is a comprehensive process that begins with thorough market analysis and consultation, continues with properly staging the home to achieve the highest price possible in a reasonable time on market, a complete program of marketing and promotion, ongoing updates and communication, closing coordination, and follow-up throughout (and after) the sale.
-- Buyer Representation is also full service: shopping, previewing, price and market consultation, contracting, negotiating, coordination of inspections, appraisals, repairs, and closing details, and follow-up beyond the closing of your purchase to ensure your lasting satisfaction.
Because the real estate industry is becoming more sophisticated and challenging every day, you need a professional that understands the industry and is positioned to stay ahead of the game. I go the extra mile to help you achieve your goals. That's why I constantly research the market and property values so your home is priced effectively from day one. I also make sure the public knows your home is for sale by using innovative advertising and marketing techniques to attract potential buyers.
