Market & calculators

Run the numbers on Austin.

Two calculators and one live data panel. We do not resell anyone’s proprietary price feed or publish a ranking — the mortgage math is just math, the revenue figure is clearly illustrative, and the STR counts come straight from the City of Austin.

Mortgage calculator

Estimate a monthly payment on an Austin purchase, including a rough allowance for property tax and insurance. Change any number.

$0

Estimate only. Austin-area property-tax rates vary by district and exemptions; confirm the real rate and your insurance quote. Not a loan offer.

Short-term-rental revenue estimator

A rough starting point for what a rental might gross, by size, amenities and occupancy. Treat it as a sketch to test your own assumptions, not a projection.

$0
This is illustrative math on general assumptions, not data for any specific property. Real results depend on location, the nightly rate the market will bear, platform fees, the 17% hotel tax, your city license, cleaning and how the rental is run. Confirm a property can be licensed before you count on the income.

Licensed STRs by ZIP (live)

How many short-term rentals are currently licensed in a few of Austin’s busiest ZIPs, pulled live from the City of Austin’s open-data file. A rough gauge of where the rental market is concentrated.

Where to find current prices

We do not publish a median-price number here, because an un-dated, un-sourced price helps no one. For current Austin figures, go to the primary sources and read the date on them:

  • The Austin Board of Realtors / Unlock MLS monthly market reports for median sale price and inventory.
  • The Travis Central Appraisal District (TCAD) for assessed values and tax rates on a specific parcel.
  • Our neighborhood guide for how the areas differ in character and demand.
