The impact of a shifting market can be felt differently in the same city or even in the same neighborhood. This is experienced both at a micro and macro level. The National Observer: Real Estate Edition, published an article entitled How the US housing market is shifting, by region this week. The article highlights how in-migration, job growth, and inventory play a role in how a market will stand up against inflation and interest rate increases. Here’s what I’m watching in Austin.
MORTGAGE RATES
Today Freddie Mac’s benchmark rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage is 5.51%, up 0.21 percentage points from last week. We expect mortgage rates to land in the ~6% range if there are no surprises from the Fed. We’re already seeing mortgage companies react with buy down programs and other incentives to keep buyers in the market. With more inventory to choose from and innovative loan options, buyers can finally jump in!
DIVERSIFICATION
RESIDENTIAL INVENTORY
The June numbers are in and we continue to be in a sellers’ market. We have 2.3 months of inventory, a normal market is closer to 6 months. We are expecting to see even more inventory come on the market so things will likely become more balanced in the coming months.
IN-MIGRATION
Relocations and expansions mean more jobs and people. Not all of these newcomers can buy as rising prices and interest rates have put some on the sidelines. However, demand for the hottest Austin neighborhoods remains strong with continued price increases. Other areas of the market are starting to correct.
Let’s talk about your summer real estate plans.

In 2017, Ryan and his wife Jessica made the decision to leave New York and move to Austin. During his time working at the Peached Tortilla, Ryan became inspired by owner Eric Silverstein’s own story and it sparked the idea to open a breakfast sandwich trailer. In 2019 that dream became a reality. YUMMY!
