**What is the average home price in Austin, Texas?**

**How do Texas property taxes work?**

**What are closing costs in Texas?**
Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of purchase price for buyers and 6-10% for sellers, including lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, and agent commissions.

**What is the home buying process in Texas?**
The Texas home buying process includes: 1) Get pre-approved, 2) Find a buyer's agent, 3) Search for homes, 4) Make an offer with earnest money, 5) Complete option period inspections (unique to Texas, typically 7-10 days), 6) Finalize financing and appraisal, 7) Review title and survey, 8) Final walkthrough, 9) Close at the title company.

**Do I need a real estate agent to buy a home in Texas?**
While not legally required, working with a buyer's agent is highly recommended and typically costs you nothing — the seller pays the commission. Professional representation provides market expertise, negotiation skills, and guidance through contracts, inspections, and closing.

**What are the best neighborhoods for families in Texas?**
Top family neighborhoods include Westlake and Round Rock in Austin, Frisco and Southlake in Dallas, The Woodlands and Sugar Land in Houston, and Alamo Heights and Stone Oak in San Antonio. These areas feature highly-rated school districts and family-friendly amenities.

**Should I buy or rent in Texas?**
If you plan to stay 3+ years, buying typically builds equity and offers tax benefits. Texas's no state income tax, strong job markets, and relative affordability make homeownership attractive. We can help analyze your specific situation.

**What is the best time to buy a home in Texas?**
Spring and summer see the most inventory, while fall and winter offer less competition and more motivated sellers. Being ready to act quickly matters more than timing in competitive markets like Austin and Dallas.

**Do you help with relocation to Texas?**
Yes, we specialize in relocation services including virtual home tours, neighborhood orientation, school district guidance, cost-of-living comparisons, and connections to local service providers.
