View Austin market analysis →The Surge Take: Georgetown
Georgetown scores 84.0/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #17 of 46 Austin-area submarkets we track. That's mid-pack for the Austin market: not a headline submarket, but often where value hides — mid-tier areas typically have lower acquisition costs and less STR competition than the trophy neighborhoods. The average listing here grosses $32,178/year — about 29% below the Austin metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.
The revenue profile is a $181 average daily rate at 59% occupancy (RevPAR $88). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.
Regulation-wise, Georgetown falls under City of Georgetown, which allows short-term rentals with compliance requirements — STR permit program since Nov 1, 2024: $100 permit, neighbor notice, 7% city HOT. Registration-style regimes are manageable and tend to thin out casual competition, which can favor professional operators.
