Austins economy is healthy and still strengthening, said top Austin REALTOR Brian Talley. A multitude of industries in the city are flourishing, and as a result, are hiring, including the industries of manufacturing, technology, hospitality, education, health, finance, and business.

The rise in professional jobs has helped bolster the health of the housing market, with more people moving to Austin and finding employment in Austin, helping move homes off the market quickly and at competitive prices.
