Following a mass exodus spurred by the pandemic, an influx of newcomers to The Lone Star State has caused home values to rise in Austin and San Antonio.
An 1880 home that frequently hosted King William Fair celebrations, often with a band performing on its front porch, hit the market less than a week ago with a $1.6 million price tag.
A sprawling, 10,000-square-foot mansion in Helotes is for sale, and its $4.5 million price tag includes extravagances such as a private creek, two outdoor kitchens and marble statues spread throughout the home.

District 1
District 1 will go to a runoff between longtime councilman Roberto Treviño and challenger Mario Bravo. This is Treviño s final eligible term. Treviño led by about 45% of the vote.
The election’s political issues were largely dwarfed by a deadly global pandemic and February’s deadly winter storm.
Treviño has been a critic of SAPD’s response to the city’s positions on addressing the unhoused population in San Antonio, as well as its posture on the Alamo Plaza redevelopment. He was removed from the city’s planning commission over his rigid support of removing the Cenotaph monument from the Plaza grounds.
