Can you buy a condo in Austin under $500K?

Yes. There is consistent active inventory under $500K, mostly one-bedroom units downtown and one- to two-bedrooms in South and East Austin.

What credit score do I need for an Austin condo?

Most conventional condo loans start around a 620 score, with better pricing above 740. FHA options exist for approved buildings.

Are HOA dues worth it?

Dues cover insurance, amenities, and maintenance you'd otherwise pay for separately. The question is whether the building is well run — that's what to review, not just the number.

§ 02. How Adrian works

What to check before you offer

Reserve funding, owner-occupancy ratio, pending special assessments, and lease caps. Any one of these can block financing or crush resale.

Financing an Austin condo

Conventional, FHA, and VA all treat condos differently, and not every Austin building is approved for each. Adrian confirms approval status before you spend money on an inspection.

Where the value is

Older downtown-adjacent buildings, South Austin boutique projects, and East Austin new construction are the most realistic entry points under $500K.
