I believe the same interest rate is available in the following cities below, however note the y-o-y decline in median home prices in those cities. Why such a discrepancy between Austin's 23% growth if it's mostly attributed to the interest rate?
Longview, Texas
1-year price change: -9.90%
2-year price change: -2.91%
Redwood City, California
1-year price change: -1.04%
2-year price change: -5.20%
San Mateo, California
1-year price change: -0.65%
2-year price change: -6.09%
Fremont, California
1-year price change: -1.09%
2-year price change: -4.79%
Laredo, Texas
1-year price change: -4.31%
2-year price change: -1.79%
