Austin’s Spring Surge
Residential Demand Gaining Strength
April 5, 2024
Spring Market Insights
SquawkBox featured an insightful article by Stephen Cohen this week, shedding light on the challenging task ahead for the Fed to tame inflation down to its 2% target. Despite this economic concern, the Austin residential real estate market stands out with remarkable resilience. Surpassing the record-setting levels of 2019, the market is thriving yet again. Homes priced competitively and in prime condition are not just moving swiftly but often spark bidding wars, illustrating the robust demand in our market. This presents an exciting window of opportunity for prospective buyers to enter the market before prices begin their ascent. With signs of normalization on the horizon, seizing the moment could prove advantageous in securing a property amidst the dynamic landscape.
Our first hand account of the market shows a healthy amount of buyer demand and increasing amount of inventory as we move into Spring. For example, our listing on Sunset Canyon had over 17 showings in one week, quickly went under contract and we’ve had additional interest. Using cues from the market, we’ll help you design the right timing, pricing and make-ready strategy to get the optimal price for your home. Curious about what it would take to get your home sold? Let’s connect!

Eclipse Guide
Austin will experience a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, visible from most of the city. Depending on your location in Austin, for a few seconds to minutes the sky will be dark, stars will be visible, and the sun will be covered by the moon so only the corona of gases is visible. It is one of the world’s most rare and wondrous natural phenomena.
