What FHA buyers should know about Austin

Austin is Texas's highest standard-market FHA ceiling outside Glasscock County. Condos and smaller-footprint homes are where FHA buyers find the most room in Travis County.

Two numbers drive a Austin payment as much as your interest rate: property taxes, which run roughly 1.81% of value in Travis County, and homeowners insurance, which averages about $2,700 a year locally. We quote both from the actual property rather than a statewide average, so your pre-approval holds up when you go under contract.

FHA financing in Austin covers purchases, rate-and-term refinances, Streamline refinances for existing FHA borrowers, cash-out up to 80% of value, and 203(k) renovation loans for homes that need work before they'll pass an FHA appraisal.
