At the Jorgenson Group, we get asked all the time: “What companies are moving to Texas?” The short answer? A lot. The longer answer? Companies big and small are packing up their headquarters, expanding operations, or setting up new offices in the Lone Star State — and Austin is right in the middle of the action. Why? Because Texas offers a business-friendly climate, a skilled workforce, and, let’s be real, the brisket alone is worth the move (Source: Austin Chamber of Commerce).
One of the biggest names to make headlines is Tesla. When Elon Musk announced the company’s new Gigafactory in Austin, it wasn’t just a splash — it was a cannonball. Thousands of jobs have already been created, and the ripple effect has boosted local suppliers, housing demand, and even traffic (we’re looking at you, SH-130). Tech companies like Apple and Google have also expanded their Austin campuses, turning our city into a full-fledged “Silicon Hills” destination (Source: Austin American-Statesman).
But it’s not just tech making the move. Oracle shifted its corporate headquarters to Austin, bringing with it thousands of high-paying jobs and further cementing Central Texas as a hub for innovation. On top of that, companies in finance, biotech, and even film production are planting roots here. With the state’s favorable tax policies and lower cost of living compared to California and New York, it’s not surprising that business leaders are swapping coasts for cowboy boots (Source: Texas Tribune).
Beyond Austin, other Texas cities are getting their fair share of love too. Dallas has seen relocations from big players like Charles Schwab and Caterpillar, while Houston continues to draw energy and healthcare giants. Even San Antonio is stepping into the spotlight with cybersecurity and military-related companies expanding operations there. Texas isn’t just attracting one type of industry — it’s welcoming an entire buffet of businesses, and they’re hungry for growth (Source: Community Impact).
What does all of this mean for real estate? Simply put: more jobs, more people, and more demand for housing. Every time a major company announces a move, we see an immediate ripple in the local market. From new construction in Georgetown to family-friendly homes in Round Rock, these relocations create opportunities for both buyers and sellers. If you’ve been thinking about selling, this surge of corporate migration might just mean the perfect buyer is packing boxes right now (Source: ABoR).
At the end of the day, Texas is proving itself to be more than a place for BBQ, live music, and wide-open skies. It’s a magnet for innovation, growth, and opportunity. And here in Austin, we’re excited to see what’s next — because whether you’re moving here for a job at Tesla, Apple, or the next big startup, the Jorgenson Group is ready to help you find your home in the heart of it all (Source: Jorgenson Group).
