Client Testimonial from Dante Fichera CPA
“My family and I were very pleased with our choice to use Matthew Layman’s real estate services to assist us relocate from San Diego to Austin and help us buy a beautiful home. From our first conversation through the close, Matt was on top of all the action items that we needed to meet to get the deal done. Matt was patient and professional in helping us not only identify homes but driving us to visit each home and do walk throughs. We were exceptionally demanding because Matt had to show us at least 20 homes before we made our final decision. In addition we had to close within 30 days and he was able to help with financing and motivate the seller to meet our deadline. I would highly recommend Matt to help you buy or sell your home and if we ever have the need again we would definitely work with Matt.” – Dante Fichera CPA

Forbes: Austin Projected to Grow by 32% over 5 year period
Dear fellow Austinites & Future Austinites,
In the late 80’s and early 90’s in Austin, job growth stopped, real estate values dropped and people left town. Probably because of the severity of that recession, Austin has faired much better this time. Home prices did not increase more than could be supported by median family incomes. Thanks to Texas’s home equity laws, consumers could not borrow against their home appreciation nearly as easily as homeowners in other states – which helped keep home prices stable and consumer debt manageable. If you don’t have a bubble then you don’t have a bust. While most other major real estate markets have seen home prices drop by as much as 50% and experienced high unemployment, Austin’s median home price has been stable or seen only a small drop. Job losses have been slight.
Now, Forbes and Moody’s Economy.com projects Austin’s economy will grow by 32% over the five year period from 2007 to 2012. Not only is Austin’s economy growing, but it’s growth rate is nearly 50% higher than #2 ranked Fort Myers, Florida. Equally important to Austin’s economic growth is Austin’s population growth which is expected to grow by an amazing 15%.
“To compile our list, we looked at all of the country’s 363 metropolitan areas, defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as a geographic region with a “core urban area” of at least 50,000 people. Because many small metro areas are high growth–and because we wanted to show growth in large cities as well–we split the group into two classes: the largest 100 metro areas (with at least 528,000 people) and everyone else. We use projections run for us by Moody’s Economy.com to show growth in GMP between 2007-2012.
Of course, if one looks at economic growth in the country’s largest 100 metros, the usual suspects jump to the top of the list. With an estimated 32% GMP growth from 2007-2012, Austin, Texas, is the winner for big metros. Atlanta, Seattle, Orlando, Houston and San Jose, Calif., also appear high on the list. What do they all have in common? They’re tech hubs with proximity to universities and a healthy increase in population. Austin’s population, for example, is expected to increase by nearly 15% by 2012, according to Moody’s Economy.com forecasts.”

Austin, Texas Rank: 1 Projected GMP growth 2007-2012: 3205% The Self-proclaimed “Live Music Capital of the World” is booming, thanks in large part to Austin’s high-tech industry (key employers inlclude: Dell, IBM, and Apple) and University of Texas, which provides the area with a steady stream of engineering talent.

Its projected gross domestic product by 2012 is second only to Mobile, Ala., and first among the largest 100 metro areas in the country. Metro area Austin’s population is expected to grow nearly 15% by 2012.

Friends, Now is the time to take advantage of the trending Austin market and pending growth explosion. We are all so lucky and blessed to call this great city home. But now is the time to take advantage of the market and make key investments in your future by investing and owning real estate. We have all played monopoly and the key to winning the game is buying up blocks of real estate and building houses or hotels. You may not be in a financial position to buy up blocks of real estate or hotels for that matter but the philosophy is all the same. Do you think it’s a coincidence that 9 out of every 10 millionaires in America created wealth through Real Estate?!? I think not.
Winning is Real Estate is about calculated risks. You can never have a reward without a risk. And not every Real Estate deal is a good deal even in Austin. That’s why it’s important you have a Real Estate professional helping you every step of the way to help you avoid the pit falls.
I’m here to help educated, equip, and empower you to manifest your dreams through the powerful wealth creation tool called Real Estate. Regardless if you are currently renting and looking to become a first-time home buyer, or currently owning a home looking to move up, or a seasoned investor we are here to give you the tools and keys to make your dreams come true.
2010 could be the year your life changes forever but you are the master of your fate. When 2013 rolls around will you say either: ‘I wish I did …. or I’m glad I did’ ….. but the choice is up to you.
I wish for you health, happiness, & prosperity.
Stay Rockin Austin,
Matthew

Forbes: Austin best economic recovery in U.S.
The Austin-Round Rock area tied for first on a list of large metros
where the recession is easing.
Central Texas tied Washington D.C. in the Forbes.com ranking that
compiles job growth and real estate industry improvement, among other
indicators. Washington has one of the lowest unemployment rates in
the nation, 6.2 percent, and the city produced more goods and
services than another other in 2008.
Austin has also maintained relatively lower jobless rates, though the
number increased to 7.6 percent last month from 7 percent, according
to the Texas Workforce Commission. Statewide, the rate was unchanged
at 8.2 percent from December to January, compared to 9.7 percent
nationally.
Austin and Washington D.C. also benefit from their high government
job generation, according to Forbes. The number of Central Texas jobs
increased just shy of 1 percent between 2007 and 2009, more than any
other city included in the research.
Dallas came in second on the ranking behind Austin. The number of
jobs there are expected to increase more than 7 percent in the next
three years. San Antonio and Houston also made the top 10 list.
Job growth projections were based on information from Moody’s. The
listing also considered median home sale price changes and
Metropolitan Gross Domestic Product.
