Participantbearish girl it sounds like you know Texas!
I agree much of Texas is nothing like Nor Cal, but I think Austin is (at least the Marin County/Berkley area I grew up in): About the same amount of rainfall (33 inches), an eclectic mix of hippies, high tech, and students, lots of trees and green and lakes and rivers, and a genuine social awareness and character.
Put that together with warm weather, low cost of living, and happy people, and you have Austin!

re closing costs for buyers, your non recurring closing costs will be a little higher (maybe $500-$800) on a 500K purchase compared to $150K purchase and should total about $6000 – $7000, depending on a number of factors. These costs are often paid in full or part by taking an above market interest rate and receiving a rebate.
