🍂 Austin Real Estate Market Update | September
As we head into fall, the Austin real estate market continues to find its balance. September saw a 4.2% year-over-year increase in median sold price, while sales activity slowed and inventory tightened slightly. With mortgage rates climbing above 7% toward the end of the month, having the right strategy matters more than ever.
🏡 For Buyers: More room to negotiate means opportunities to ask for a better price, closing costs, or favorable terms. With homes selling for an average of 92.5% of their original list price, patience and a clear budget can go a long way.
🔑 For Sellers: Pricing and presentation are key. Today’s buyers are selective, and an overpriced home can sit on the market. If you’re hoping to sell before the holidays, now is the time to build a smart strategy.
The bottom line? The right approach makes all the difference in today’s market. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on Austin real estate, I’m here to help you navigate your next move.
