Californians are FLEEING Texas. Home prices crashing.

- Californians are now fleeing cities like Austin, TX. And home prices and rental rates are crashing as a result.
REVENTURE APP: www.reventure.app
Austin, Texas was a boomtown during the pandemic that many Californians moved to. However, now, many are moving back. And this has resulted in a 17% crash in home prices over the last two years, to go along with a massive surge in vacant apartments.
Austin is the perfect example of the boom/bust nature of the housing cycle. Which other cities could be next to crash?

It's not a crash; it's a return to reality. All those apartments kicked out their local renters to make mint on Californians. Now, they are dealing with a lack of renters who were priced out and no longer available.
=crash
We're seeing something similar happen in FL. But in FL we're used to it. It happens about every 3-5 years. A bunch of people "discover" FL, move here, drive up the prices, decide it sucks (it does), and then leave. The prices they drove up stay up though.
Arizona is that same way
I think the bigger problem are those apartment property management companies who think its okay to kick out people & families in favor of making a quick buck by inflating rent cost over 200%... That's a WAY bigger problem than those pesky Californians, or even California itself because this is a NATIONWIDE ISSUE.
shit, where I live there isn't even an exodus of people coming in... They're just raising rent for the same properties with no improvements made on them to justify the huge markups... And it ain't inflation, before anyone comes at me with that... It ain't inflation...
In the same breath these people will talk about the democrat crime empire... But then talk down on people for bringing up experiences such as mine... Which are being caused by shadowy government companies like Blackrock buying single family homes... They own about 50% in the ENTIRE COUNTRY & are renting them at exorbitant prices...
If it's about taking down shadowy democrat crime empires, & Blackrock is one & they're raising the rent on the middle class & poor people then why is it still our fault or not your concern or whatever other deflective excuse y'all have for this? Looks like it's all the same thing... Well they've successfully divided & conquered you all against your godly neighbors
That’s still a crash lol
It's hard to find tenants for studio costing over 1600$ a month? Shocking 😂
When those tech job disappear and you no longer have single 25 year olds making 80-100K, yeah, even with two free months ... nope.
I think $1310 for 12 is a better deal. Not great just better.

Those are NYC prices - from 12 years ago.
All these people moving to Florida and Texas and expecting it to be exactly the same as New York or California are weird. Glad they are leaving.
Apparently, reality didn't match their expectations. Too bad. Good bye and good riddance.
Wish they never came!! Ruined Frisco,TX! for us all😮
Please let florida be the next
You don’t know how happy this is making native Texans. I’m going to love see my property taxes plunge.
Californians can’t believe criminals are actually arrested in Texas.
So now the housing prices are going down from ridiculous to merely absurd.
Great comment. You nailed it!
Seriously
Actually, there have always been affordable prices with houses. If you looked in "uncool" area. My girlfriend bought a house in such an area for under 300,000. And the house is wonderful.
@@eduardotovarjack Good point. We currently live in Georgetown, which is a wonderful area. My problem is that I hate the tiny lots and would prefer something with at least 1/3 to 1/ half an acre lot. A whole acre is even better. But you’re gonna pay for it…
Local tax assessors are loving making us subjects.
They're not hurting anyone's feelings by leaving.
Californians fleeing Texas citing similar issues they experienced in California is the most genuine Californian thing I’ve heard today
Probably because those issues are not state issues but global issues everywhere.
Most of the fleeing Californians probably aren’t originally from California either. They fled to California from somewhere else.
I wish more Californians would flee Dallas. Dallas has become overcrowded and expensive due to all the Californians and New Yorkers who have moved here in the past 10 years
It makes sense- if you left for reasons other than cost of living, those little annoyances will bother you if they happen somewhere else.
I’ve lived in CA my entire life and the only reason I would leave is the cost. Everywhere I’ve lived I’ve had kind and caring neighbors, the weather is great, and I’ve never had trouble finding a good church in what we consider a reasonable distance.
Since finances aren’t currently an issue, I’m happy enough here. I’m aware that my experiences are limited to the places where I’ve lived, which are all very low in violent crime and not very high in other types of crime, so YMMV.
@@sachinnair91I miss Dallas (hell, the whole blessed state) every day. I remember when Rockwall was unknown and Mesquite was a nice place to live.
Californians leaving Texas & housing prices going down? I see this as an absolute win.
If only that were true… prices and population are still on the rise…
Houses are cheap in Texas because it’s a horrible place to live. Did you ever hear of “location location location?” I could never live anywhere in Texas mostly due to the impossible weather conditions, worse traffic, higher crime, too many guns, and the loss of civil rights due to an extremist government. No thanks! It’s not worth it for a cheap house.
@danielgloverpiano7693 you sound like your on public assistance
@@disconcerningcitizen2224
Right, I have a PhD and served on the faculties of four universities from New York to California and the Virgin Islands. I live in a zip code where median house prices are 1.5 million. You sound like you didn’t go to college because you can’t distinguish simple words:
Your and you’re are two different words. Look them up in a dictionary.

It's worrying that big financial firms could own 40% or more of homes, squeezing out the middle class. Most folks should hold onto their homes if they can. I'm thinking of buying cheap houses in 2024 and maybe trying stocks too. When's the best time for stocks? Some say it's profitable, others say it's risky. Any advice?
I believe the retirement crisis will get even worse. Many struggle to save due to low wages, rising prices, and exorbitant rents. With homeownership becoming unattainable for middle-class Americans, they may not have a home to rely on for retirement either.
Accurate asset allocation is crucial. Some use hedging or defensive assets in their portfolio for market downturns. Seeking financial advice is vital. This approach has kept me financially secure for over five years, with a return on investment of nearly $1 million.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?

Still 200% more expensive than it should be.
400%
469%
The main part of California the people are talking about is Southern California from Los Angeles to San Diego and those people do not have to pay for winterization, for winter fuel, for maintenance of roads from storms and winter weather. The higher prices of grocery products, vegetables and fruit are more expensive outside of California so California's have much better food at a lower prices.
Absolutely! I’m 52. Born right here in Houston. This place sucks. No way it’s worth living here for the asking price of homes now. It’s an immigrant mecca. Hot as balls here This is the last place in Texas I would move to. The other major metro areas of Texas are even worse in affordability. Always been that way. Texas has nice places, but not many jobs in those places. Weather here sucks huge azz too
Thank those democrats in California. Facilitating the great exodus of Cali into Texas. Fucking everything up for everyone else because they can't get it together..don't worry let's just all help them get to OUR level and they will appreciate it and be a asset to society and be a good addition to a texan community...pfft. 😅 cmon don't be niave. There gonna suck and suck and suck it all dry and when it's all gone there wonder why things are the way they are...and then they go to fuck up the next state that has its shit together to leech off of
That's crisp, Californians complaining about Austin's traffic.
@@maidenthe80slaThe vast majority do.
@@maidenthe80slaRural California is home to 2.3 million residents-5.8% of the state's population. Any place with fewer than 5,000 people or 2,000 housing units-or low population densities (less than 425 housing units per square mile)-is considered rural by the US Census Bureau.

Californians go to other states, complain about California, turn the new state into California, are upset by this development. Classic
Those aren't real Californians real California's stay in California and enjoy the beach.
@elizabetharmendariz6004 so should we call them American migrants? They migrate from state to state bringing their problems with them. 😢
@@elizabetharmendariz6004You sound silly, not everyone is on the beach
Over half of Californians (according to the census) are actually imports in the first place.
We never wanted them here- your states just never had as much to offer, and we can't control where people live.
CA used to be the state of Reagan, and Nixon- you all have short memories.
I don't think Californians are what makes Texas unbearably hot in summer
California is the 4th highest ranking state in life expectancy while Texas ranks #30 in life expectancy.
Californians are surprised that Texas is hot and doesn’t have European style all inclusive public transport? I’m shocked! Shocked!
I can't believe those things didn't come up in their research often enough to take it seriously. It's not news that Texas is hot and doesn't fund public transportation projects.
Californians - Texas is too hot!
Also Californians - why isn't there infustructure for walking ?
@@disconcerningcitizen2224
The horrible weather is a primary reason I could never live in Texas. Couple that with horrible food, no natural beauty, too many guns, too much religion, and rightwing fascist government, and that’s the reason Texas was ranked second worst state to live in. Is there anything good about Texas? I’ll wait. I grant you cheap property, but that’s pretty much it.
I live in San Francisco where median house prices are 1.5 million, the temperature is between 50-70 all year round and going above 70 is rare. We have stellar mass transit but it’s not necessary as I can walk everywhere, including the opera house, symphony hall, museums and outstanding dining. I have four branches of the same gym within twenty minute walk.
@@danielgloverpiano7693 You can always enjoy paying an extra 20 percent of your income for the San Francisco lifestyle.
@@chipyoung4396 it’s worth every penny. Just wait until global warming makes San Francisco the only livable place in America. It’s already happening. We never get above 70 degrees, while the rest of the country goes over 100 degrees for a month at a time.
Brah this ain’t enough 17% is minimal after 250-300% gains
yeah I know. my rent was $1200 in 2019, now it's 2200.
%17 is not %17 after %300 increase. It's %51 decrease.
Yeah I was about to say the same thing
you dramatized quite a bit, Feb-2024 median 440k, Feb-2020 median 323k, up 37%. Also, Feb-19 is 290k. The peak median is 2022-04, 70% up from Feb-2020.
That's not how math works boyo
Thanks for coming. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
$1,700 for a studio apartment. What a deal.
Texans are not complaining about the exodus of Californians.
The Texans keep thinking it's the liberals that have been coming to your state, when it's the Maga wearing confederate flag sporting northerners who are craving texas's "culture"
But Ya'll were super excited about them moving in, cause it proved that "Woke" policy was failing.
So does this prove that "Anti-woke" policies are failing?
It does show how bad texas is if even Californians are leaving.
@@Don-ii4vm We just aren't letting those chomos from California mess up Texas like they did their state.
Meh texans complain about everything.
California residents move to Austin and try to
Turn Austin into California isn’t that sweet 🧠
you may have a chance to change it now.
Demacrates united.
So it goes up 100% and then crashes by 20. That's still an 80% increase in the cost of housing. Question is, will it contract back into being affordable for regular people? I don't think so personally.
Just because they spent some time in California, does not make them Californians- sincerely, California native.
This is not a crash. Let me know when it drops 75% then it will be close to what people can actually afford.
Love how they give you a couple months free but still charge you an insane rental price. It's like the scummy cable companies trying to tie you down with a promotional offer.
1600 is waaayyyy to expensive for A STUDIO
Plus they get you in and raise the rent after a year.
Just let them sit vacant.
"scummy cable companies"...redundant and axiomatic.
They have to.
They value the property at the monthly rent.
The free months are counted as vacancies.
It is an accounting trick.
Build Back Better. Californians voted for it.
The people live in California aren’t actual Californians
I just had a rental company tell me that there will be a $25 rent for any pets I may have. PER pet and every month. They're literally charging a pet rent now??? Its getting crazier and crazier
Told you so. Roaches 3” long, fire ants, 99% humidity, tornadoes. What’s not to love😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's only the tip of the iceberg 😂😂😂

Californians are like locusts.

I'm a Texan AND HATE TX!!!!
I could tell you native Californians won't adapt well. But its not just traffic and heat, its heat, humidity and traffic. No matter how hot it can get in California, the dry weather makes it more manageable. Even traffic is manageable when you don't have to deal with humidity.
this
Yes humidity is the only reason. We Californians are not strangers to traffic and dry heat.
Wierd the traffic is more awful in California when school finished.... texas is more decent
Hope they leave soon too!
No that's not what is going on. The key contributing factors are the amount of layoffs (especially tech) in Austin, coupled with plus return to office requirements, and massive increases in new home starts. This is leading to an oversupply in Austin with prices trending downwards, but not that significantly. Don't forget how wild hot Austin was becoming.
I visited rural Houston decades ago to work on a horse ranch that used to be a summer camp and I was coming from the bay area. It was 106 degrees and the worst humidity they ever experienced. All the bugs were more than 4x the size and more abundant. The ground water felt slimy with a funk to it. Local news reported a black man being dragged to his death in a racist attack. It was only a week long trip but it was miserable. Texans are built different out of necessity.
"Everything is crashing"

He's the Peter Schiff of the real estate world.
There are a lot of doom-and-gloom propagandists on RUclips. They want people to be scared and insecure. . Good people try to help other people to succeed more often than trying to inject fear and worry into their lives.
The real question is what’s the next city Californians are going to ruin by moving to it.
Texas has been high crime for decades
Wym ruin? Austin was far from a paradise long before the exodus. If anything it's improved since it, but not because of the Californians.
@@mycelia_ow I have nothing against Californians, but no, Austin has not improved. That's a big no.
Austin is a liberal shithole.
Probably the crappy place those "Californians" really came from. Most Californians are not really from here.
As a Californian, I don’t want to leave my state. None of us do. Foreign investors are buying up all of our property for cash and then jacking up our rent. They’re also buying up all the residential properties. We can’t even bid. We are being forced out of our state.
Turn those apartments into freakin' condos so everybody gets a nice, cheap mortgage! Make Austin a lower-middle-class paradise and get those stores and warehouses running like a clock!
Californians seem to complain a lot and fix nothing.

Aaahh *THAT* Explains the BIG smiles I've been seeing on the faces of Texans recently. Nuff said!
This happened to my friend he left California and only lasted 2 months in texas before moving back
I lived in Austin Texas. The apartment complex tripled my rent and then threatened eviction after I already said that I planned to leave. I am not surprised people are leaving Austin. While I lived there I had a mandatory pop apartment inspection every couple weeks and the AC was broken most of the year. The power went out for at least a week every February and the electric company turned my electric off after it was paid and wouldn't turn it back on for a month. 😅 Don't move to Austin. And if that doesn't do it for you, my neighbor's light switch made a huge hole in the wall when it malfunctioned and then he found out that he had been living with black mold. There were some scary events that sounded like fireworks several times a week. The managers of these establishments only care about money and not the people living in these conditions. It was a ton of money wasted on an apartment complex that was taken over by bad management.
Prices were up 100% in 4 years so a cut of 17%...is that crash??
😂😂
Yeah, for the moment, it's a correction, if it goes down another 17%, then that would fairly be a crash. However, if you bought a house in, say, June of 2022, it probably feels like a crash.
Exactly!!!! They skyrocketed the prices and now that it’s going back to where it should have been in the first place it’s considered a crash?? Hilarious!!!!!
So true. Same with the car market and they wonder why nobody is buying.
A 100% rise is wiped out by a 50% dip. 17% is good considering it's just the start.
@@jorge1170xyz looks like you are smoking cheap stuff in daytime 🤣
They aren’t really leaving Austin. They are just moving to the outer suburbs of Austin where I live. It’s booming in the surrounding counties.
Yes, this. I also live in a surrounding county and it's getting bonkers.
All of the hill country is booming. I've lived in this area for over 25 years and never seen as much growth as I've seen in the last 4 years.
A big city like Austin has bad public transit?
So... nothing has changed since the 80s. 😉
theyre leaving texas. Austin is in real trouble
Californians leaving Texas isn’t a crisis, it’s a miracle.
I left California over 25 years ago. Rents in Texas have gone up dramatically. Everything is unaffordable, everywhere. My suggestion is to get with working friends and split the rent on a small apartment.
The reason people love California is because of the weather and the beauty
Then they should go back
Needles, homeless camps and excrement in the streets doesn't seem too beautiful.
@@BeltFedToys yes that is a down side of having a beautiful state. In attracts people who can’t seem to get their lives in order. Even though it is less than 1% of the population of California it is a large number of homeless . California probably gets a lot of people from the shit states. Like most red states and the southern states. Where I live there no junkies carping on the sidewalk or needles laying around. I was talking about the actual land of California being beautiful. Not big cities . Most big cities in the United States have the same problems with the homeless and drug/ alcohol abuse. You have probably never been to nice places in California.
@@BeltFedToys Sounds like current day Austin.
@JohnFraser-ud8ko you got it backwards ,the south has been invaded by illegals and California refugees

Austin Texas now understands how Nevada feels. Sick and tired of studio apartments being 1400 one bedroom apartments being 1600. A double wide in Fernley Nevada will sell for $390,000 where in Missouri or West Virginia you can buy a triple wide for 70k
Why people move like herd animals to any one state is beyond my comprehension.
That seems to be a newer phenomenon. And strangely effects even older people. I never understood that part.
Because they're the descendants of the greedy bastards that moved there in herds for the gold.
I moved to Florida for FREEDOM.
From the beginning of time, people have migrated. That's how civilization moves forward. It's in their DNA
Because they don't want to deal with the mess they voted for. Meanwhile, I'm still living in California with the mess they left.
The Texans heeded our warnings from up here in Colorado were are fighting a losing battle against the Californian transplants that are bringing terrible policies with them and Texans fought back early enough to hopefully save their state.
Our housing prices exploded with price fixing once recreational was legalized. The banks wouldn't take them so a lonely laundering boom triggered real estate and the banks and boomers added to it with the HGTV crowd etc. Now it's declining and will for a long time.
For house booms... usually:
First in are first out. Last in are last out.

Locusts complaining about the locust swarm. They also ruined Boise Idaho too by the way. One is the most unaffordable for locals now.
Hearing that housing market is crashing is music to my ears. I just moved back to Texas. This is like getting a gold star lol
I live in California, and prices pulled back 4-5% last year when rates began to rise, but now prices have rebounded and are higher than ever.
Could have seen this coming. People move to Texas for work (and until recently affordable housing) and not for the scenery or the weather, it’s always been that way. Even Austin with its green belts and outdoor vibe cannot compete with the west and Intermountain west when it comes to climate and scenery .
Austin is just LA in Texas.
I grew up in one of the scenic areas of California, and there's no scenery west of the Sierra Mountains worth a visit.
There's other parts of the country with scenery just as good, that's NOT run by Gruesome, and his merry band of Communists.

@@ritchierobershaw2093something like 1 in 8 Americans work remote full time and 2 in 5 work hybrid or remote. Disproportionately wealthier people (because obviously you can’t work as a construction worker or bartender or something remotely). What I’ve also seen is that in a lot of “hybrid” models, people who are truly talented can arrange something that works for them, like one week in office and 3 weeks out of it (with hotel on the company dime).
I beleive they are manufacturing this crisis. They are planning on making people desperate so they go along with what is coming. Trump is in on it, it is not one party.
If they sold their homes in CA they can't go back unless they got extra cash lying around. When they try to move back to Cali, they've signed up for an uphill real estate climb. Homes are $1M and above and if there is anything below $1M it's probably a condo and small square footage. Return to the office might mean, pick a different job where the office isn't in CA.
Worse. In California Prop 13 fixes the maximum increase of your property tax bill at around 1%/ year, regardless of how hot the housing market is. A lot of people end up paying effective property tax rates of 0.2% or less of the market value of their home. When they sold their home they lost they lost this protection. Opps!

Austin hasn't crashed yet. It's STARTING to crash.
As a lifelong Texan, I could've told you--california is paradise, and Texas is hell. There's a reason one place is way more expensive than the other.
I've been to California. The people are beautiful, the beaches, dry mountain air, trains, buses, it's amazing.
Texas on the other hand, one neighbor has a sign saying trespassers will be shot, the other has a picture of Donald Trump painted on his fence with the words, "demand a revote!" It's hot, humid, ugly, ignorant, and dirt cheap.
And I am REALLY cheap, and I'm used to it. So I stay here in Texas with the dumbasses and holy rollers. Makes me chuckle to think some guy rich enough to live In California would get the bright idea to save money and move down here.
As a former Californian I find this difficult to believe. Everything listed exists in that state also and most people leave because they tax you to death and the stupid laws and regulations. Traffic doesn't bother us we're used to it, neither does the heat so yeah, Im calling bull on this one.
That is what happens when no city planning is done, to provide decent transportation and flow.
Texas isn't California---please don't expect the same climate, mass transit, or largely 'blue' politics, here.
cheap places to live are cheap for a reason
And some are just overhyped. It’s fun to live in all the cool places that give you the tingles until you realize you spend all your money on rent and food.
Austin isn’t “cheap”. It’s easy to be cheaper than Cali.

Oh, couldn’t be the high crime from defunding the police, massive influx of homelessness and all the other liberal policies they brought with them that has absolutely ruined Austin. No, it’s the traffic and heat.😂😂😂
Texas had high crime for decades
They should just move out of the city into the suburbs or the small towns were white supremacy reigns, gun violence is rampant, and small penises in trucks financed at 24.1% is much better.
@SA-hz1rs Not as high as California or New York. Austin used to be relatively safe.
@@shelleybelleyHI wrong
@@shelleybelleyHI nope
They ain't lying about that heat, you're sweating when you take a shower
That doesn’t make any sense because if house prices are crashing they could get five times the home moving from California
The next city won’t crash. The whole America is finished. It’s over.
Nihilism isn't a good look
@noirsake8057 Neither is Third-worldism.

@Proetus but it is a river in Africa
@@noirsake8057Nihilism and realism rhymes for a reason.
They’re complaining about traffic, transportation and heat. Um did they forget where they came from? I’m not buying it.
Your cope is weak
@@stevenhenry5267I'm from California. That article basically cited the three things most of California is as bad or worse on. Next he'll say they are turned off by Austin's cost of housing lol
They probably asked people exclusively from San Francisco, where the weather is cooler than even surrounding areas, and if you love and work in the city, traffic and transportation aren't much of an issue.
Weather here in Dallas is much worse than California weather. We get 100 plus degree weather consistently in the summer and freezing snow storms in the winter. It also rains most of the days here. We're very humid so you will sweat a lot. Traffic is horrible due to all the people who've moved here
I've lived in both Texas and California and the California heat doesn't hold a candle to Texan heat. Dry heat is much more livable than that awful, Texan humidity. No, you will never get used to it, you'll just live the rest of your existence indoors, with the AC cranked up, wishing you were back in California.
Lack of public transportation is a major problem in the US. Transportation equals wealth. Space is money.
I have a couple of refrigerator boxes. I think they are 500 square feet, only $1500 a month
California and Texas are both equally terrible for different reasons. That said 17% drop is not a crash after the previous crazy run up. It just means the higher interest rates and ridiculous prices are finally taking a toll on buyers.
Heard property taxes in Texas are insane. However, they don't use the word "taxes," but call it something else, just to confuse people. Bit ago there was a comparison between tax rates in Texas and California, and yes, Texas had higher taxes.
I am a Texas homeowner and it is called property taxes. Never heard of anything to the contrary and I've lived in 2 of the major cities here.
@@cds8249 OK. I thought it was called something to do with education. Forgot the name however.
As I understand it, Texas property taxes there are even higher than California.
Texas doesn’t have income tax. That’s the tax savings I usually hear people are moving to Texas for.
@envydesigns7043 it used to be a great savings, but now if you're a homeowner paying property taxes I think it truly depends. Property taxes have really increased in most areas across the state. Part of me thinks in a few decades of we keep growing at this insane rate they're probably going to have to start an income tax of some sort, though most Texans would probably not vote for it. But sadly, we need more revenue for more or newer infrastructure, unless people leave Texas
@tokyojon4344 I can't say I know if our property taxes are higher than California's but they are much higher than my in laws in Oklahoma, but Oklahoma has a state income tax, while TX doesn't.
Part of our property taxes go to supporting the school district our houses are located in. At 65 Texans can get a tax freeze on the school taxes, so the school tax stays at the rate it is when you turn 65, which is great bc a lot of the districts here have high tax rates for the school part of property taxes.
I hope that all the rents in texas drop to 50% so many people can afford the rent in texas
They are the reason why I left Austin, almost 10 years ago. They literally ruined it, and now they're mad about it.
They’re not Californians, they just moved from California.
Yeah, right.
@@MichaelSHartman most of them are from the Midwest.
Thank you. Native Californian of 45 years, can confirm. If you dont say "hella" at least once a day, you aren't from here.
What a shocker that the transplants went from major city to major city. Just go to smaller towns like my family did in 2014 and youll do great and love it here.
It's not the heat. IT'S THE HUMIDITY in Texas.
Beyond happy.
