Realtor.com is the latest tech company to announce its corporate headquarters are moving to Austin.

They're following the lead of hundreds of other companies that have made the move in the last two decades. And if you've been in Austin for more than a decade, you don't need to look further than the skyline to see how much the city has grown."

"I think a lot of people will be interested to know that this has been one of the top performing economies in the United States," Ed Latson, C.E.O. of the economic development group Opportunity Austin, said. "Between 2018 and 23 we added more jobs, more population, more GDP than any other large metropolitan area."

He says in the last 20 years, more than 900 companies have moved into the region.
