Right now, new construction homes in Austin are offering a 19.3% price advantage per square foot over existing homes\u2014a trend that\u2019s especially encouraging for budget-conscious buyers weighing their options. Builders with higher inventories have trimmed prices and sweetened the deal with incentives, giving buyers more room to negotiate and compare choices.
