Drive past the airport, past the sprawl, past the last good breakfast taco on 71—and there it is.

Steel. Glass. The future. Maybe.

Tesla’s gigafactory sits like a spaceship in the grasslands, and whether you roll your eyes or lean in, it’s clear: Elon Musk has a lot riding on Austin. And maybe we do too.

Tesla says its “cybercab” production line is in the works here—yes, robotaxis, the kind with no steering wheel and no pedals. You might see the first ones rolling around Austin streets by this summer.

Buying a Home in Austin This Year Might Be Your Best Move Yet

While national headlines love to stir fear, Austin tells a different story. This year, we’re seeing something rare—a window of opportunity for smart buyers who know how to spot it.

The New Currency of Location

In 2025, neighborhoods are telling a different story. Some have softened. Some are holding strong. And others are rising quietly while the spotlight’s pointed elsewhere.

Here are a few places we're watching closely:

The First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit



Biden’s “First Down Payment Tax Credit,” if implemented, would create a permanent, refundable tax credit for first-time buyers. First-time buyers are defined by the federal government as people who have not owned a residence within the previous three years.

The bill will create a refundable tax credit worth up to 10% of the purchase price, or $15,000. Taxpayers can choose to treat the purchase of their home as occurring in the prior taxable year to receive the credit sooner.  

As home prices and demand continue to rise locally and nationally to unrivaled levels, the tax break proposal is set to counter the country's affordability crisis by motivating first-time homebuyers, specifically those in low…
