Among Redfin.com users searching for homes in Austin in the third quarter of 2018, 28 percent were from outside the area. And of the people who were looking to move into Austin from outside the area, nearly 19 percent came straight from the Bay Area, the largest share of any region.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-64672\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/screen_shot_2018-12-17_at_2.43.21_pm.jpg\" alt=\"Migration into Austin\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for Redfin.com users looking to leave the Bay Area last quarter, 2.9 percent sought out Austin, making it the sixth most popular destination for people considering a move away from the region\u2014and the most popular for people searching away from the West Coast.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-64675\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Bay-Area-Map.jpg\" alt=\"Bay Area migration\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/andrew-vallejo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andrew Vallejo<\/a>, a Redfin agent in Austin, said that over the last two years the majority of his clients are from the Bay Area, and a large portion of them work for tech companies. The new Apple campus will be housed\u00a0close to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/neighborhood\/164521\/TX\/Austin\/North-Austin\/filter\/status=active\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">North Austin<\/a>, which is about 10 miles from downtown and a popular location for tech employers. \u201cWhen people come to me and ask where in Austin to invest, I tell them North Austin,\u201d Vallejo said. \u201cTech companies are already having a major impact on the Austin market, but the Apple announcement is adding to the buzz.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The steady inflow of residents into Austin is likely due in part to its relatively affordable real estate. As of last month, the typical home in Austin sold for $304,000. That\u2019s marginally higher than the national median of $299,000, but significantly lower than the median home price in traditional tech centers like <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/17151\/CA\/San-Francisco\/filter\/status=active\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco<\/a> ($1,340,000) and <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/17420\/CA\/San-Jose\/filter\/status=active\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Jose<\/a> ($1,090,000).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The substantial difference in price between a home in Austin and a home in the Bay Area has already contributed to driving up home prices in the Texas city. \u201cPeople who sell their house in San Francisco or San Jose and move to Austin often have much more money than they need for a house in their new city,\u201d Vallejo said. \u201cSome homebuyers are willing to do whatever it takes to beat out another offer, and that\u2019s what ultimately drives up prices.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The addition of more high-paying jobs, from Apple and potentially from other employers, is likely to continue to drive up home prices, particularly in Apple\u2019s backyard. In <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/neighborhood\/207000\/TX\/Austin\/Northwest-Austin\/filter\/status=active,viewport=30.46494:30.35346:-97.66981:-97.82825\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Northwest Austin<\/a>, a neighborhood that\u2019s close to both the existing and new Apple campuses, prices are already slightly higher than they are in Austin as a whole: The typical home in Northwest Austin sells for $327,000, up from $192,000 in early 2012. Vallejo said he expects prices in the area surrounding Apple to continue to rise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/eric-hegwer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eric Hegwer<\/a>, another Redfin agent in Austin, said North Austin is attractive to major companies like Apple largely because it\u2019s a residential neighborhood with proximity to highly rated schools, which is helpful for recruiting tech workers with families and children. The neighborhood is also set to be the site of a new Major League Soccer stadium in the coming years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cKids are the driving factor in North Austin,\u201d Hegwer said. \u201cA lot of tech workers are choosing a neighborhood not just based on a short commute; they often target a specific school, and are looking for a community with amenities like parks, playgrounds, libraries and recreational centers, and that\u2019s North Austin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another thing that makes Austin as a whole a popular destination for people making moves from one region to another is its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statesman.com\/business\/20180817\/austin-job-market-stays-hot-july-jobless-rate-near-20-year-low\/1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">vibrant jobs market<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Apple already employs 6,200 people there, and its forthcoming 133-acre campus will house an additional 5,000 employees with the capacity to grow to 15,000 total workers. Dell, IBM, Amazon and Google are among the other tech companies with significant footprints in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apple\u2019s plans to add thousands of jobs in Austin may inspire other tech businesses to pick up hiring in the area. \u201cWhen one tech company decides to make a big investment in a city and hire thousands of workers, it makes it more appealing for competitors to follow suit because they can benefit from the increased labor pool,\u201d said Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather. \u201cTech workers tend to not stay at one job for very long. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbesbusinessdevelopmentcouncil\/2018\/06\/29\/the-real-problem-with-tech-professionals-high-turnover\/#d847b4842014\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">median tenure at Apple<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is only two years, which is actually long compared to the tenure at Amazon or Google. Tech companies are constantly recruiting and often poach talent away from each other, so they tend to open offices in the same cities. That\u2019s because it\u2019s much easier to convince a worker to switch companies if you don\u2019t also have to convince that worker to relocate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apple is also adding a significant number of workers to other regions, and it\u2019s not the only tech giant to announce its expansion outside the Bay Area this month: Google has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/inside-google\/company-announcements\/google-hudson-square-our-expanded-new-york-campus\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">revealed plans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to establish a new campus in <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/35948\/NY\/Manhattan\/filter\/status=active\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manhattan<\/a> and add thousands of new employees in the city, in addition to several other offices outside the Bay Area it\u2019s opened this year.
