Nice analysis, your numbers are bearing out what we’ve been seeing for a while. Like they always say, location, location…..

Great info!

Any data for Round Rock ISD? Appears to be missing from your school district chart.

Bill asked: “What are the outlook of rental properties in and around UT campus area? Are they going up or remain flat as the rest of Austin area?”

Bill, most of the UT area rental stock is apartments and condos. I don’t track those. Also, many of those properties lease outside the MLS and in-house with the campus area locators and management companies, so any data I could gather from the MLS would not be comprehensive.

My educated guess is however that “as Austin goes, so goes the campus area”. They have somewhat of a captured rental base there, but students will seek out the best rental value just like everyone else, and if that means riding a shuttle from Far West or East Riverside to save money, or riding a city bus from South Austin, they’ll do it.
