Last week we reported that Austin and San Antonio were expected to be the first cities to really bounce back from the recession.

Now a new study by the Brookings Institution named Austin one of the 20 best performing metropolitan areas in the second quarter of 2009. In fact Texas had five of the top 20 best performing metro areas--Austin, Dallas, Houston, McAllen and San Antonio.

The report tracked 100 U.S. metro areas and found Austin was a leader in percent change in gross metropolitan product to percent change in housing prices.
