Austin's housing index roughly doubled between 2018 and 2022 — among the steepest pandemic-era surges of any metro — driven by California in-migration, tech-sector relocations, and Texas's no-state-income-tax structural advantage. The 2022–2023 correction was the most severe of any top-50 metro (-12% peak-to-trough); 2024 has been a stabilization year rather than a fresh rally.
The 2007–2011 housing crisis cut the Austin HPI by 4.1% peak-to-trough — from 139.9 in 2008 to 134.2 in 2011. For context, the U.S. national HPI fell roughly 24% over the same period, so Austin was meaningfully less affected than the national average.
The pandemic-era surge brought the Austin HPI from 236.2 in 2019 to 368.8 in 2022 — a cumulative +56.1% move in 3 years. Compared to the U.S. national HPI's roughly 50% gain over the same period, Austin appreciated roughly in line with the national rate.
Located in the South region of the United States, Austin is one of the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan statistical areas by population. Long-run housing appreciation in Austin reflects a combination of regional employment trends, in-migration patterns, and local supply constraints.
