Austin Real Estate Market Sizzles

The median price for single-family homes was $310,000, an 8% increase over May 2016. The average time on the market was 43 days homes, which was one day less than May 2016.
Austin is Weird
The key to this market for a buyer is flexibility in terms of location and a solid understanding of budget. Austin is weird and the beauty of that is having a wide variety of home styles to choose from, in a unique mix of neighborhoods.
With low inventory, Buyers are searching for a home in a larger area then they once were.
The key to this Austin real estate market for sellers is also understanding that their home is also unique right now. In some neighborhoods, there may be only one house for sale in a particular price point. This creates a sellers’ market and an opportunity. The Austin housing market has buyers searching within a larger map area these days because of the lack of inventory and will keep looking elsewhere if the home does not show well.
Sellers are representing the neighborhood.
Keeping the house clean and cool in the summer are two of the easiest ways to welcome a buyer, show pride of ownership, and now-a-days represent the neighborhood.
