A buyer's guide to Austin, not a sales pitch

The price on the listing is not what you'll pay.

AZ TX Realty Group tracks every neighborhood, comp, and closing cost across the Austin market — so you buy (or sell) knowing the all-in number before you ever tour a home.

Featured listings

A curated set — not the whole MLS firehose.

Homes we know inside out, with the true monthly all-in estimate (mortgage + tax + insurance + HOA), not just the sticker price. Filter and sort to compare like-for-like.

Five districts, five completely different price bands.

What $600K buys you downtown buys twice the square footage in Hyde Park. Start with the map, then read the guide.

What you'll actually pay

The costs nobody puts on the listing.

The number that matters isn't the list price — it's the all-in cost of owning. Here's what quietly stacks on top, and where a good agent saves you more than their commission.

  • Closing costs (2–5%) — title, lender fees, escrow, and prepaids. On a $600K home that's $12K–$30K due at signing.
  • Property tax reality — Texas has no income tax, so property tax runs high (~1.8–2.2%). It's often the biggest line after the mortgage.
  • Appraisal gaps — in a hot pocket the home may appraise below offer; you cover the difference in cash. We price this risk before you write.
  • Inspection findings — foundation and HVAC issues in older stock can be $8K–$40K. We negotiate credits, not surprises.
  • Timing the market — inventory and rates swing seasonally. Buying in the slow months has been worth real money.
$4,180 /mo

True all-in on a $598K median home — principal & interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA. The sticker-price mortgage alone would read ~$3,100. That $1,000+ gap is the whole point.
