REALTORS® lead efforts to keep homeownership affordable
Texas REALTORS® work year-round, throughout the state, to promote fair and affordable housing. For example, the Austin City Council has been working toward mandatory energy-efficiency upgrades to homes before they can be sold. If this mandate is adopted, it could put homeownership out of reach for many Austin residents and set a costly precedent for consumers across Texas. The Austin Board of REALTORS® is leading a coalition, called Keep Austin Affordable, to educate consumers about this issue and promote alternatives that achieve greater energy efficiency in homes while keeping homeownership affordable.
