Stretching your real estate dollar in Texas looks very different depending on whether you’re eyeing Dallas or Austin in 2026. Dallas buyers get more space for their money—about 300 extra square feet on a $500k budget compared to Austin. But that bigger house comes with higher property taxes. Dallas also has more homes on the market, making it less of a battle to buy. Meanwhile, Austin’s lower inventory keeps prices high, but the city’s booming tech scene and culture still draw plenty of folks. Which would you pick: more space and choice in Dallas, or Austin’s vibe and slightly lower taxes? #RealEstate #Austin #Dallas
