AUSTIN: THE PRICE MAGNET

摘要

Adelle Brewer, 43, and her husband, Daniel, decided they needed to leave Portland, Ore., last year. After their home insulation business faltered, the couple started researching less expensive cities in the Carolinas and Texas. In December they plunked down $149,000 in cash for a four-bedroom ranch house in an Austin suburb. "If this house were in Portland, it would be $400,000," says Adelle.
