A recent study from Forbes.com ranks Austin as the #2 most popular city to move to in the United States, beating Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston and San Antonio. The state of Texas, with Austin as the fore runner, is attracting new residents seeking better job opportunities, and standard of living. An analysis of data from Relocation.com shows Texas continues to move in a positive direction. The data for the Relocation.com study was collected from 2007, 2008, and the first quarter of 2009.

Specifically, the results for Austin indicated that 60% of moving requests involved people wanting to move TO Austin. This is positive news for award winning custom home builder Sterling Custom Homes, whose clientele is largely established through those relocating to Austin from all over the world. In fact, we are quite adept in building luxury Austin homes for our clients who live out of town (for all or part of their home building experience) through use of our highly systematic approach.
