HAPPY FALL Y’ALL
The Austin market has cooled from the feverish days of double-digit appreciation and multiple offers on every home to a more normal, fall market – our market is stabilizing. Here are the highlights from the folks at Norada based on ABOR’s Mid-Year 2022 Central Texas Housing Market Report.
š The market is moving towards pre-pandemic sales activity and inventory.
āļø The Austin market is by no means balanced, it still favors sellers.
š¤ Buyers have more bargaining power now than at any point since before the pandemic.
š° Homes still closed at over 100% of the list price on average in June.
š Residential home sales declined 20.3% year over year.
š There is an influx of homes on the market.
šø The median price rose 13%, setting a record of $537,475.
ā¬ļø New listings jumped 19.6% to 6,160.
š Housing inventory increased to 2.1 months of inventory, up 1.5 months from last June ā a sign of a seller’s real estate market.
Here’s how these trends are showing up for buyers and sellers this fall:
DEMANDĀ
There is no shortage of demand for Austin real estate, but buyer behavior has definitely changed. Buyers have higher expectations for value – they want homes that are priced well AND in great condition. They also need more flexibility from sellers on closing dates, repairs and other terms.Ā
INVENTORYĀ
Austin inventory numbers are rising from historic lows, but they remain tight, especially in the city’s most desirable, close-in neighborhoods. These are the areas where buyer demand tends to be the strongest. Austin remains a seller’s market despite nationwide inflation and rising interest rates.Ā
RATESĀ
Speaking of interest rates…now at 7% rates have had an impact, slowing sales and home price appreciation. However, life events like the birth of a child, marriage or a job change – donāt always correspond conveniently with mortgage rate cycles. Lenders and sellers are getting creative offering buy-downs and other incentives to keep buyers in the market.Ā
NEW CONSTRUCTION
I often reference general Austin numbers and trends, but real estate is hyper local. These generalizations don’t always translate to what’s happening in the suburbs. In the outlying areas where there is a healthy amount of new construction, the market is different. It’s shifting much faster.Ā Builders are getting VERY competitive and offering both discounts and incentives.Ā Ā
