Been in Austin, Texas for almost 3 years. Place is truly a hellscape, a lot of nice people though (not very many smart ones). When I first moved didn't see a for sale sign for over a year, could hardly find a home for sale on zillow or redfin. last 6 months they've been slowly piling up in some parts of the city with plenty of construction still going on. Same thing on other trendy areas around Texas Hill Country.

They're saying, "Hey, we're losing all our goddamn money, and Christmas is just around the corner, and I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip, right? And my wife won't f... my wife won't make love to me 'cuz I ain't got no money, right?" So they're panicking right now, they're screaming "SELL! SELL!" to get out before the price keeps dropping. They're panicking out there right now! I can feel it! They out there!
