🍂 Hello Fall, Hello Opportunity!
The Austin Metro housing market is in full swing this fall. Activity is picking up, interest rates have eased, and that shift is creating fresh opportunities for both buyers and sellers. For buyers, lower rates mean more affordable monthly payments and stronger buying power. For sellers, more buyers entering the market translates to higher demand and increased competition for well-priced homes. 

Median Price: $409,990 (down 1.3% from 2024)

Sales: 431 so far this month (down 4.4% from 2024)

Days on Market: 49 (12 days faster than last year)

New Listings: 942 (down 2.5% from last year)

New Pendings: 502 (down 14.6% from last year)

Sales to List Price: 91.8% (closer to asking than last year)

Trend: Homes are selling quicker than last year, prices are steady, and most are closing about 3% under list. Buyers have room to negotiate, but sellers who price smart can still move quickly.

 

📊 Curious where your home is positioned today? Let’s start with a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) so you can see your home’s current value and decide if now is the right time to make a move.

                 🚫 Before You Hit Zillow’s “Request a Tour” Button
That button doesn’t just alert the listing agent—it sends your info to multiple agents who pay Zillow, which means spam calls and pushy follow-ups. Plus, agents pay fees for those leads, which can add pressure.

 

✅ Here’s the smarter way (saves you time & money):

Send me the link to the home you like.

I’ll schedule a private tour and set up your personal search portal.

We’ll prep together (budget, must-haves, and next steps) so you’re ready to move with confidence.

             One trusted guide, one clear plan—no flood of calls, no wasted time.

                       🏡 Seller Tip: Think Like a Buyer Before You List
Pricing isn’t the only thing that makes or breaks your sale. Buyers today are comparing homes on everything—utility costs, HOA fees, tax rates, and even how your home stacks up against new construction.

 

That’s why I offer a Buyer’s View Report. It’s a free snapshot of how your home looks through a buyer’s eyes:

How your features compare to similar homes for sale now

Estimated monthly costs buyers will factor in (taxes, HOA, insurance ranges)

Key selling points to highlight so your home stands out

Today, we pause to honor the lives lost and the heroes who showed incredible courage on September 11, 2001. May we never forget their sacrifice, and may we continue to cherish the strength, unity, and resilience that carried us forward as a nation.
