Hey there! 👋 Missed you last month, and I’m glad to reconnect. Life has been happening as I'm sure we can all relate, but I am back on track to bring you the latest in the Austin market, and pro tips to keep you ahead!

 

Whether you’ve watched the market from the sidelines or you’re actively keeping an eye out, there’s a lot happening in the Austin metro area. Whether you’re buying, selling, or a bit of both you’re in a unique position this month. Let’s dive in.

Here’s what’s happening across the Austin area housing market right now:

🏠 Median home price: $420,000 - slightly down 1.8% from last year.

📈 Active listings: Up 10% - giving buyers more choices and sellers more competition.

📊 Months of inventory: 5.7 months - the most balanced we’ve seen in years.

⏳ Avg. days on market: 76 days - homes are taking about 5 days longer to sell.

🔖 Avg. close-to-list price: 91.6% - buyers are negotiating and finding value.

What this means:
Austin’s housing market is finding its balance again. Sellers still have strong equity and motivated buyers, but pricing and presentation matter more than ever. Meanwhile, buyers are finally gaining leverage - with more homes to choose from, flexible terms, and fewer bidding wars.

 

💬 Thinking about your next move? Let’s talk strategy - whether that’s positioning your home to sell faster or taking advantage of builder and seller incentives before the year ends.

1. More inventory means more choices:  find a home that truly fits your needs.

2. Negotiation power is stronger: sellers and builders are more willing to make deals.

3. Incentives can save thousands: from interest rate buy-downs to closing cost credits.

4. Less competition in some areas: giving you more time to decide without the bidding war stress.

📊 If you’re also a homeowner, your buying power starts with knowing your home’s value. Let’s start with a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) so you can see exactly where your home is positioned today—and how that can help you secure your next one.
