This question cannot be answered using the provided data. Income data is not available. Only listing prices and related metrics are provided.

To afford a home in Austin, you should aim for an annual income of at least $107,314. This calculation is a general guide and assumes a 20% down payment on the typical home, which is currently priced at $473,500. This income figure helps cover the mortgage payments for a home with a listing price of $473,500. Keep in mind that this is the median price; half of all homes are listed for less, and half are listed for more. Currently, homes are staying on the market for about 63 days. This is a bit longer than last year. The number of homes for sale is 12,456, which is also slightly fewer than last year. About 27.6% of homes have had their prices lowered. This suggests some wiggle room for buyers, as sellers are adjusting their expectations. The price per square foot is $237, which is less than last year. With these figures in mind, focusing on your income and savings for a down payment is key. A higher income makes qualifying for a mortgage more straightforward, especially when many homes are seeing price reductions.
