Riverside Homes

08/19/2024

KXAN was very interested in the tiny home we are preparing to build under HOME 1!

Scott Turner, the owner of Riverside Homes, is one of the more than 100 people who has been approved to utilize HOME part one — one of the recent land development code changes made by the city of Austin aimed at housing affordability.

We're very happy with the way these homes turned out at our Jester project, but it ain't easy building infill housing, that's for sure.

Restrictions on medium-density housing in Austin are keeping prices high, as there's not much in between a single-family home and a small apartment.

Missing middle housing just got legalized! Our progressive city is finally making progressive changes for housing.

Council members voted Thursday to amend the city's land use rules, allowing developers to build up to three homes where only one or two were previously permitted.

Missing middle housing like Accessory Dwelling units cost 50-70% less than their large single family home neighbors, even on the same lots. We need change to allow more people to buy homes -- read about the current state of this effort in Community Impact Austin's latest story.

The first phase of the HOME initiative aimed at creating more middle-income housing is under consideration.

ADU’s are spreading across San Antonio and the rest of Texas for a lot of good reasons.

Commentary: Accessory dwelling units empower everyday people to engage in the production and preservation of housing in San Antonio.

We all love Austin's parks, but we need more affordable housing. Glad to talk with KXAN about how Austin's fees, which are already 186% higher than other Texas cities, impact affordability.

Thank you to my fellow builders, real estate agents and everyone in the real estate community for attending our Mid Year Housing Forecast. Our market is changing right now, but the long term outlook remains good.

We are lucky to have such a good park system here in Austin, but the city has to take a comprehensive look at how fees like this one combined with all the other regulatory barriers to housing impact affordability. Austin already has the highest development fees in the state by a wide margin, almost $50,000 per unit.

Mortage rates are rising rapidly. KXAN asked us how this may affect our housing market.

Mortgage rates are ticking up ahead of Wednesday’s anticipated base rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
