I think it's hard out there to find a good place to live. There are many choices, don't get me wrong, but many of them are in areas way out or they are just out of your price range. Luckily, there are many options out there for finding great new homes in areas that you like and that fit within your budget.
Before going online like everyone else, you can try talking to home builder Austin professionals you know. This is like getting a referral via word of mouth. If you know people, talk to them about your search for a home because they may know about current places available or they may know someone who does.
Better yet, they may just put you in touch with their Realtor. You can also find many listings in person.
Some people have signs and fliers all over the place, so you may come across some that are in your desired area. Like online listings, be careful with these and do your research. Don't agree to anything without getting a firm price in writing after looking at the place.
Lastly, I suggest looking online. You can find so many homes with your desired specifications. You can do searches by price range, area, amenities, and much more. You can also see photos and contact the Realtor directly.
As I said, there are many options for finding a new place. If one doesn't work, you can always try another. The hunt will be worth it to find your new dream home.
