Looking Back on 2023 &
Here Comes 2024
Here are the highlights of the 2023 Austin residential market:
The pandemic caused extreme buyer behavior, and it appears that 2023 was the year things corrected. As we move into 2024, we’re expecting a more normal year. In Austin that means steady growth. We continue to look to job and population growth as they are the primary drivers of Austin’s real estate market (people need a place to live). Prices corrected last year and we expect to see an increase in both sales volume and price as we head into spring.
What Does this Mean for YOU?
Sellers– It’s GO time! This spring is likely to be the perfect opportunity to list your property. Buyers have been on the sidelines, but are reentering the market. It’s likely that prices already hit bottom and are starting to rebound. Catch the spring momentum!
Buyers– The spring market is just around the corner which means more inventory. Make sure you are pre-qualified and ready to make an offer. I anticipate a healthy amount of buyer activity as we move into February and March. Let’s talk about your next move!
It’s Time to Shop!
Did you know that it’s a good standard practice to shop your homeowners insurance every couple of years? Homeowners insurance is an important policy to have in place because it can give you financial recourse if your home or property is damaged, stolen or destroyed. Even if you shopped around to get the best deal when you first purchased your home, it doesn’t mean your company still offers the best price. Many times you can get a better policy by: 1. Improving your credit 2. Raising your deductible 3. Bundling policies or 4. Improving your safety and security. Want to know more?
