In the middle Kyle sits in sweet spot of home affordability

Amid Austin’s real estate boom, Kyle is currently sitting in a relative “sweet spot” when it comes to home prices, according to city officials.

But as property values continue to increase, and more people move to the area, Kyle City Manager Scott Sellers said the city wants to keep its finger on the pulse of home costs.

Travis Mitchell, Kyle mayor, said during his July 24 State of the City speech that the city is in a sweet spot when it comes to affordability. According to Mitchell, roughly 73 percent of Kyle residents own their home, which surpasses the national average.
