A recent study by economist Ray Perryman states that Austin can absorb all the condos under construction and on the boards. The article cites 4,000 planned units. I show more than that in my records, however the article does not specify what they are excluding. Either way, the summary of the article is that approximately 40,000 NEW people are moving to Austin each year. If, on average, 800 new units are delivered per year then only 2% of NEW Austin residents each year have to decide to live downtown. That figure does not include existing Austin residents that may choose to move into a condo for any number of life changes.
