How much does it cost to rent a home in Austin? Thinking of moving there but I’m seeing a wide spread on home rental prices. Thinking something simple, maybe 2000 sq ft.

It will depend a lot on which neighborhoods, but Rental prices are really incredibly low right now. Most are dropping rent several times before they’re able to get them rented out - my current house in 1600 so ft, the renters before me were paying 2,500/mo and I’m only paying 2,000/ mo. So now is def a good time to move compared to a few years ago

Northwest Austin - 2300-2600 for around 2000 sqft. Depends a lot on school district …landlord here.

I'm gonna start renting mine in the fall.

Completely renovated.

That's for perspective.

$4500 for a 3/2 @1900 sq ft in Westlake Hills

$4200 for a 3/2 @2000sf on the edge of Eanes (Senna Hills) here

House down the street 4/2.5 @3000sf rented for $4000 a few weeks ago

Market definitely softening a bit

2.5miles from the domain 2022-2024 3bed/2.5bath 1990sf with a big fenced backyard was 2600. Would imagine the prices have come down a bit

3100 for a small older 4/1.5 in Austin proper. 2 bedrooms and 2 small office/activity rooms. Before that 2800 for a small but new 4/2 about 25 mins from city center.

Renting a house is a pain here. The landlord have more rights than tenants in Texas. Landlords will make you pay for house repairs. Also, In the state of Texas you have provide you own appliances. Refrigerator, washer, and/ or dryer.

1500 sf in North Austin Braker area is $2500 month

I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!
