With the second quarter having wrapped up at the beginning of this month, now is an apt time to look at Austin’s real estate market statistics.
Inventory levels in Austin and surrounding areas are higher than what we have seen in recent years. Currently standing at 5.19 months of inventory, this increase offers more opportunities for motivated buyers eager to explore their options. Six months of inventory is widely considered a “balanced market,” with anything below indicating a “seller’s market.” Many buyers find themselves holding out for lower interest rates but they need to be mindful that lower rates tend to drive up demand which in turn will drive up prices.
Recent numbers from the US Census Bureau indicate that for the first time in over 20 years more people are moving out of Travis County versus migrating in. However, dreams of lesser traffic on your commute may be quickly fading with Elon Musk’s alleged plans to relocate X & Space X’s Headquarters to Texas.
