Maybe they did so because 1） those homes are the ones they can afford, and 2) the outter Austin homes are relatively newer and somewhat better built in quality. So while yeah there are some people decided the "savings" aren't really there anymore and wanted to move inward, most people are basically stuck. They still can't afford buying a home closer to down town even if they want to save on gas money. I don’t think people who bought the homes in outter Austin area simply for saving money.

Last time I did though, but that was with KXAN-36 and they put a link to the website from the story on their website and I had a huge spike in web traffic from it. KEYE-42 has no such link. Lenny: You make a good point, but it doesn't change the equation for those who already bought on the outskirts thinking that they would be saving money. Compared to what they could have purchased closer in, they are losers in the the deal. But I like your thinking about how it may readjust moving forward. Steve Sam: No, not yet.

the market should re-balance itself!
the closer in homes should go up in value more even more than normal due to the gas factor (greater demand for these closer-in homes) … making the outlying homes still a relative value….

At least they mentioned you by name a couple of times. Let us know if you get any actual business out of this. Pretty cool, Steve, but they could have written you name larger in the caption.
