Pricing Stability & the Fall Outlook

October 13, 2023

The Oldham Group Austin | Courtney Oldham

Price Stability in Austin

Prices remain stable, but the +0.5% increase in mortgage rates caused slightly less demand than was to be expected.

Median & Average Sold Prices Remain Stable
Both Median and Average Sold Prices saw minimal declines from August, but remain lower than the late spring/early summer highs. Austin’s market is consistently seasonal – motivated sellers take lower prices in the fall winter while less motivated sellers try again in the spring.

Mortgage Rates Increase
Mortgage rates increased by roughly 0.5% in September, which was somewhat unexpected.

Pending units declined slightly more than expected, likely as a result of increased mortgage rates.

Buying in Today’s Market
This is a strong buying opportunity if it makes sense for you to buy. Rates are high, but prices are lower than you will likely see again in Austin. You can buy now and refinance later and ultimately accomplish a lower monthly payment than you will be able to in the future.

Selling in Today’s Market
If you’re currently on the market, pricing is critical! Sales are happening but at slower pace with more concession. Price right from the start to attract the largest pool of potential buyers.
