Why Rising Rents May Make Homeownership a Smart Move
Market Perspectives Blog Post
Why Rising Rents May Make Homeownership a Smart Move
In recent years, inflation has significantly impacted the cost of living, with rental prices rising faster than many other expenses. While the rising cost of mortgages garners much attention, rent prices in many areas, including Austin, have increased even more sharply. Between 2020 and 2022, Austin saw a 35% jump in rents, far outpacing inflation and mortgage interest rate increases. Average rent surged from $1,660 in early 2020 to over $2,245 by January 2022.
With rent prices rising so quickly, many renters are now considering homeownership as a more stable alternative. However, buying a home comes with its own set of pros and cons, and it’s important to consider both sides.
The Pros and Cons of Buying vs. Renting
Pros of Buying a Home:
- Fixed Mortgage Payments: When you own a home with a fixed-rate mortgage, your monthly payment remains stable, providing a safeguard against rent increases. This can make homeownership feel more predictable, even if interest rates are higher than they were a few years ago.
- Building Equity: Each mortgage payment builds equity in your home, creating long-term financial value. Over time, as the property appreciates, you can benefit from potential capital gains when selling.
- Tax Advantages for Primary Residences: Homeowners can exclude up to $500,000 of profit from the sale of their primary residence from capital gains taxes, which can lead to significant tax savings compared to other investments like stocks.
Cons of Buying a Home:
- Maintenance Costs: Unlike renting, homeownership requires you to cover all maintenance and repair expenses, from routine upkeep to unexpected repairs, which can add up over time.
- Capital Gains on Investment Properties: If you purchase a property as an investment rather than a primary residence, you won’t benefit from the same tax exclusions. Capital gains taxes of 15-20% may apply, which can diminish your overall profits when selling the property.
- Upfront Costs: Buying a home involves significant upfront costs, including a down payment, closing costs, and other fees, which may make it less accessible compared to renting.
The Pros and Cons of Renting:
Pros of Renting:
- Flexibility: Renting allows for greater mobility, making it easier to relocate for job opportunities or lifestyle changes without the long-term commitment of homeownership.
- Lower Upfront Costs: Renters don’t have to worry about down payments or covering the costs of maintenance and repairs, making it more affordable in the short term.
- No Ownership Maintenance Responsibility: Renters aren’t responsible for property upkeep, repairs, or dealing with unexpected property expenses, which can be a significant financial relief.
Cons of Renting:
- Rising Rent Costs: Renters face the risk of rising rents, often outpacing inflation and sometimes leading to unpredictable increases, as seen in Austin’s 35% rent hike between 2021 and 2022.
- No Equity Building: Rent payments do not contribute to ownership or long-term financial gains. Over time, renters may end up spending more money without building equity, as compared to homeowners who benefit from property appreciation.
- Limited Stability: Rental agreements are typically short-term, meaning there is less stability in monthly payments compared to the fixed costs of a mortgage. Renters are also subject to market forces and landlord decisions.

Relocating to a new city is one of the most significant decisions anyone can make, and Austin is consistently one of the top destinations for people looking to make a change. With its thriving job market, vibrant music scene, and outdoor lifestyle, Austin has something for everyone. But moving to a new city, especially one as dynamic as Austin, comes with unique challenges—and that’s why this blog is important. Whether you’re coming from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, or beyond, it’s essential to have the right guidance.
At Adam Timothy Group, we’ve helped countless individuals and families navigate the complexities of relocating to Austin. We understand the fears, the excitement, and the questions that come with such a life-changing decision. Our years of experience working with people from major cities across the U.S. make us uniquely equipped to help you find not just a house, but a community where you can thrive.
Why Austin?
What makes the city so appealing? It’s not just about the jobs or lifestyle, but the unique experiences that Austin offers. From world-renowned events like ACL (Austin City Limits) to incredible concerts by legends like Janet Jackson, Madonna, Missy Elliott, and Usher, Austin is a live music paradise. Add to that a food scene that’s constantly improving, with new restaurants, food trucks, and chefs making their mark. Whether you’re into casual bites, fine dining, or experimental cuisines, Austin’s culinary diversity is one of the best reasons to live here.
Beyond food, Austin’s bar scene is unbeatable, with craft cocktails, local breweries, and rooftop lounges that keep the city alive at night. And for those who love their coffee, Austin boasts amazing coffee shops where local roasters shine, offering everything from a quick caffeine fix to cozy spaces for working remotely.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Austin’s walking trails are a dream. Whether you’re on Shoal Creek Trail, Lady Bird Lake, or Walnut Creek, the city offers miles of paths perfect for walking, jogging, or biking, giving residents plenty of ways to stay active and enjoy nature.
Navigating Relocation: Fears and Desires
However, relocating is never without its challenges. Moving to Austin from cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, or Las Vegas often brings up a mix of excitement and fear. For many, there’s the desire for a fresh start, better job opportunities, or simply a change of scenery. But there’s also the fear of the unknown—how will you adjust to Austin’s distinct culture, its high housing prices, and the sometimes overwhelming heat (though not a lot of humidity)? How will you replace the communities, amenities, and lifestyle you’ve grown accustomed to in your current city?
Many of our clients relocating to Austin are looking for more than just a house. They want to find a neighborhood that feels like home, where they can build new connections and find a sense of community. They desire a lifestyle that balances work and leisure, whether that means easy access to Austin’s nightlife and music scene, proximity to top schools, or nearby green spaces for weekend walks and outdoor activities.

Transforming MLK Jr. Boulevard: Austin’s Vision for Safer, Multimodal Mobility and Community Growth
Market Perspectives Blog Post
Transforming MLK Jr. Boulevard: Austin’s Vision for Safer, Multimodal Mobility and Community Growth
The Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Corridor Mobility Plan is an ambitious effort to address the growing transportation needs along one of Austin’s most critical east-to-west routes. As the city expands, this corridor has increasingly become a key thoroughfare for both commercial and residential traffic. The plan, funded by the 2016 Mobility Bond, lays out a comprehensive strategy to enhance mobility, connectivity, and safety for all users—including drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders.
Vision and Purpose
The primary goal of this mobility plan is to make the corridor a safer and more efficient route that supports multimodal transportation. This includes improving roadways, pedestrian pathways, and cycling lanes while ensuring that the transit systems along MLK Jr. Boulevard can meet future demand. As the region continues to grow, improving this corridor will not only address current transportation challenges but also lay the foundation for future urban development.
Key Findings
The study area for this project spans 5.25 miles from North Lamar Boulevard to US 183, passing through diverse neighborhoods and serving various commercial, educational, and recreational sites. The corridor has been divided into four distinct character zones based on existing conditions, land-use patterns, and development intensity. Some of the current issues identified in the study include:
- Insufficient pedestrian infrastructure, especially in certain zones where sidewalks are missing or non-compliant with ADA standards.
- A lack of dedicated cycling lanes in the eastern portion of the corridor, forcing cyclists to share lanes with vehicles, which raises safety concerns.
- Traffic congestion caused by poor signal timing and a high number of unsignalized intersections.
- Dangerous sightlines and changes in elevation that create hazardous driving conditions.
Short-Term Improvements
The plan outlines several short-term improvements that can be implemented without significant changes to the right-of-way. These include:
- Enhanced pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, such as filling in gaps in the sidewalk network and adding protected bike lanes.
- Transit priority measures, like transit signal priority and queue jumps, to improve the efficiency and reliability of bus services.
- Improved signal timing and better road signage to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.
Long-Term Improvements
For the long term, the plan envisions a more multimodal corridor that balances the needs of all types of users. Some of the proposed upgrades include:
- Full-depth reconstruction of the road to accommodate dedicated transit lanes, bike lanes, and pedestrian paths.
- Context-sensitive design that accounts for the unique challenges posed by topography, existing infrastructure, and future development plans.
- Complete streets approach that emphasizes the integration of all modes of transportation into the corridor design.
Costs and Next Steps
The total cost for implementing both short-term and long-term improvements is estimated at $173.85 million, which includes engineering, construction, materials, and project management costs. The project is expected to be funded through a combination of city bonds, grants, and private investment. As part of the next steps, the city will need to secure funding, complete detailed designs, and acquire any necessary right-of-way to begin construction.
Personal Connection to MLK Blvd
Living in the McKinley Heights neighborhood, our team at Adam Timothy Group has a personal connection to the MLK area. We are also proud members of the St. David’s Foundation Community Gardens, located near MLK Station, a cornerstone of the community. Our roots in this area keep us closely tied to the developments along the MLK corridor, and we are committed to being a part of its growth.
In addition to our real estate expertise, we love supporting local businesses and dining spots around the area. If you’re interested in exploring the best of what East Austin has to offer, be sure to check out the Austin restaurant guide on our website, featuring many gems located along or near MLK. Also, if you’re a coffee enthusiast, we’d love to send you our top five coffee spots postcard, which includes Houndstooth Coffee, right on MLK Jr. Blvd!
A Historical Footnote on Streets Named After MLK
Interestingly, streets named after Martin Luther King Jr. often carry deep historical significance, especially in relation to urban planning and segregation. In many cities, streets renamed in his honor run through predominantly Black or historically marginalized communities. While these renaming efforts were meant to honor Dr. King’s legacy, some of these streets were once used as unofficial boundaries in redlining practices. This dark chapter of American history saw banks and real estate agents using these dividing lines to restrict home ownership and financial services to people of color. As we work to revitalize MLK Jr. Boulevard in Austin, we acknowledge this history and strive to create an inclusive, equitable space that truly reflects Dr. King’s vision for equality.
This plan is part of Austin’s broader efforts to enhance mobility across the city. For a look at how similar efforts are shaping East Austin, check out our blog on the improvements happening along Airport Boulevard here.
The MLK Corridor Mobility Plan represents a significant investment in Austin’s transportation future. It aims to improve safety, reduce congestion, and enhance the overall user experience along one of the city’s busiest and most important thoroughfares. With the right funding and community support, this plan could transform MLK Jr. Boulevard into a model multimodal corridor for Austin’s rapidly growing population.
At Adam Timothy Group, we are committed to helping clients navigate Austin’s evolving real estate landscape. Whether you’re looking for your first home or expanding your investment portfolio, our team is here to provide expert guidance and unparalleled service.

Why the Latest Fed Rate Cut is a Game-Changer for Homebuyers and Investors
Market Perspectives Blog Post
Why the Latest Fed Rate Cut is a Game-Changer for Homebuyers and Investors
In a bold move, the Federal Reserve just cut interest rates by 50 basis points (0.5%), marking the first time in four years that such a significant reduction has occurred. For those in the real estate market, this could be the perfect moment to make a move. Historically, interest rate cuts like this often lead to lower mortgage rates, which directly impacts your borrowing power and the overall cost of your home. Let’s break down why this matters and why now might be the best time to buy a home or invest in real estate.
The Timing of Rate Cuts and Mortgage Rates
The last time the Fed made a major cut like this was in 2020 during the early stages of the pandemic. Mortgage rates dropped significantly afterward, creating a surge in demand for housing. But this time, things are different. The Fed, led by Chair Jerome Powell, has been criticized for starting to raise rates too late to combat inflation and for possibly delaying this rate cut longer than necessary. Now, Powell has signaled that further rate cuts could be on the horizon to address rising unemployment and economic uncertainties that are troubling markets and political leaders alike.
Historically, there’s a lag between Fed rate cuts and mortgage rate reductions, meaning savvy buyers can get ahead of the curve. The Mortgage Bankers Association has noted that mortgage rates typically decrease a few weeks after a Fed cut, but these lower rates may not last long as market conditions quickly shift. Some, however, suggest that the markets may have already anticipated this cut and priced it in to mortgage rates already. That said, very few people expected the cut to be as much as 50 bps.
A Wounded Housing Market in Recovery
The housing market has been in a difficult position recently, with high interest rates, low inventory, and soaring home prices creating substantial barriers for many potential buyers, especially first-time homebuyers. The Federal Reserve’s earlier actions during the pandemic—slashing rates to historic lows—fueled a hot real estate market as consumers emerged ready to spend. But when rates began to climb again, home sales slowed to a crawl. In late 2023, mortgage rates reached their highest point in two decades, peaking above 7.75%, which pushed many buyers out of the market and led to a significant drop in home sales.
However, despite the sharp decline in transactions, home prices remained elevated. Many homeowners who had locked in mortgages at historically low rates had little motivation to sell and re-enter the market at a much higher interest rate. As a result, inventory stayed tight, keeping prices from dropping significantly.
That said, there’s reason for optimism. Both new and existing home sales saw an increase in July, signaling that more buyers are entering the market again. As mortgage rates continue to decline, it should help loosen up some of the supply, which could slow the rapid rise in home prices.
Interest Rates & Property Taxes: The True Impact on Monthly Payments
One of the most overlooked factors when purchasing a home is the significant role that interest rates and property taxes play in determining your monthly payment. Many buyers tend to focus too heavily on the price of the home, missing the bigger picture. A small reduction in interest rates or securing an interest rate buy-down can have a greater long-term impact on your total homeownership costs than a price reduction.
On a personal note, when we purchased our home, we were able to secure a 2.75% interest rate, which significantly reduced our monthly payment. Even though the home’s price point was higher than average, the low rate made our payment comparable to someone buying a home today at 40-50% less in price, but with a higher interest rate. This underscores the importance of focusing on your monthly payment rather than just the home’s price.
At Adam Timothy Group, we always remind our clients to focus on their monthly payment, ensuring they manage both their equity and appreciation while also balancing their monthly cash outflows.
A Golden Opportunity for Investors
For real estate investors, this rate cut also presents a unique opportunity. While the rental market is currently somewhat depressed, with cap rates lower than they were in recent years, this may be the ideal time to lock in deals. The rise in inventory is slowing, and rents are expected to increase again soon. Investors who move now may be able to capitalize on lower purchase prices and financing costs before rental rates climb, improving their returns over the long term.
Why Act Now?
With Powell indicating that more rate cuts could be on the way to combat economic challenges like rising unemployment, now may be your best opportunity to take advantage of lower interest rates. Lower rates can save buyers and investors tens of thousands of dollars over the life of a mortgage, and with inventory still higher than it has been in recent years, you have more options to choose from without the intense competition seen in previous years. According to Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, experts predict that mortgage rates will decrease in response to the Fed’s move, but the window may be short as market conditions change rapidly.
The Fed’s decision to cut rates likely came later than it should have, and there’s no telling when or if rates will be reduced again soon. Waiting too long could mean missing out on these lower rates and more favorable buying conditions.
At Adam Timothy Group, we’re here to help you navigate these shifting tides. If you’re thinking about buying a home or investing in real estate, this may be your best chance to lock in lower rates and secure your dream property before the market heats up again.
