Austin cited as one of the next “youth-magnet” cities
Austin Business Journal
What do Washington D.C. , Seattle , New York , Portland and Austin all have in common? They are the five cities that top a new Wall Street Journal poll on where young people are likely to flock once economic recovery takes hold.
The Journal polled a panel of experts, from demographers to economists, on where young college graduates are likely to congregate in coming years. Austin ranked fifth on the list with the lowest unemployment rate of the five cities and a relatively high median household income. The Capital of Texas didn’t fare quite so well as the others on the education front, with 41.8 percent of 25-35 year olds holding a bachelors degree or higher compared with 61.3 percent in Washington and 64.2 percent in Seattle .
According to the Journal, ” Austin has become a gathering place for tech- and arts-conscious young adults.” The paper also lauded Austin for its cultural attractions like the Austin City Limits Music Festival and South by Southwest. But some of those polled by the Journal expressed concern over how strongly Austin will bounce back from the recession.

Jason Hill On HGTV With 3 Area Homes

In late July, HGTV’s “Bang for Your Buck” swooped into Austin to film three outdoor living spaces.
The show, which will air this month, compares the three $95,000 remodels. Show designer Monica Pedersen and local real estate agent Jason Hill of Austin City Living will determine which homeowners got the most in resale value for their money. The show is on Fridays at 8:30.
The three sets of homeowners don’t know the results yet, but during the filming, they did watch some of Pedersen’s and Hill’s feedback. Then the show filmed some of the homeowners’ reactions.
The three properties are all very different, Hill says. They are all very beautiful, he says, but “when you looked at return on investment, there was some question raised.”
Hill, who has been selling real estate since 2006 and whom you might know as a former anchor of KVUE’s morning news, cannot disclose the winner, but he does say it was close.
“Sometimes you are surprised at how the numbers come back,” he says. “But just because you spent a lot of money, it may not be the greatest thing when you go to sell the house.” ….FIND OUT MORE
