Another Major Company Is Moving Its Headquarters From California to Texas

Companies are continuing to say goodbye to California and hello to Texas. In the past few years we have seen companies like Chevron and Tesla move their corporate headquarters from California to the Lone Star State.

And this week, another company announced it would be moving to Texas as well.

This week, real estate listings giant Realtor.com announced they would be moving their headquarters from Santa Clara, California to Austin, Texas.

Realtor.com Says Powerhouse Economy of Texas Played a Role in the Move

According to KVUE, Texas' talent pool, economy, and housing growth all played a role in luring Realtor.com away from California said the CEO, Damian Eales.

“Austin and Texas offer a strong and growing talent pool, a powerhouse economy with unparalleled housing growth, affordability of living only matched by its aspirational lifestyle, expansive tech and academic communities, and a dynamic and vibrant city at the heart of the thriving state of Texas. There is no better place for us to call home,”

 

Abbott Welcomed Realtor.com's Move to Austin

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Texas is the right place for Realtor.com

“Thanks to our unmatched business environment, no corporate or personal income taxes, and our highly skilled, young, and diverse workforce, Texas is the right place for Realtor.com," Abbott said.

Recently Realtor.com found that Texas was the fastest growing state in the nation and could overtake California as the most populous state by 2045.
