Happy Friday, Y'all! For the real estate market in Austin, fall is proving to be just as hot as summer. The trend we're seeing is that new listings have slowed down, but buyer demand is still quite strong. Last month, we saw a 19.9% increase in sales volume in Austin with a record-breaking 14.9% increase in median home price. Active listings are down 26.6% and our inventory is at a mere 1.5 months. Pending sales are ahead of new listings by 15%! What does this mean? Mainly it means that prices are climbing because our supply can't keep up with the demand. This is good for sellers who are ready for a change and also good for buyers who want a great return on their investment over the next several years. If you know anyone who has a need, I'd love to help the people you care about! |
Key Trends Showing Future Real Estate Demand |
Compass's Founder & CEO Robert Reffkin recently joined CNBC’s Squawk Box to discuss the strength of the real estate market and the key indicators of future demand. While every market is unique, here are some of the latest stats we're seeing that indicate national strength in the real estate market: |
| Search traffic on our website is up 108% year-over-year, indicating strong forward buyer demand. |
National home prices are up 8% year-over-year, indicating stable and steady growth. | |
| Users are spending more time on our website overall, with the average duration of time spent up 19% from last year, showing that not only are there more buyers, but they're more serious about finding a property that meets their needs. |
The pandemic has changed the way we evaluate our homes. We’re noticing that certain features like outdoor space, home offices, and pools aren't just a passing trend — there’s real demand for these types of amenities that will extend into the fall. Would you like a curated look at how the market is moving in your Austin neighborhood? I’d be happy to put together a custom Collection of homes in your areas so you can keep an eye on pricing trends throughout the fall.
