Moving to Austin

Posted on by

Moving to Austin? I have selected randam subdivisions in the greater Austin area and listed some current real estate market data. Average Days on Market below 3 months are considered Seller’s markets, because homes are moving quickly. Neighborhoods with homes on the market between 3 and 6 months are considered neutral. As you can see, the Austin Real Estate market is very strong. Buyers are moving to Austin and with interest rates still low…buyers are moving within Austin.

Austin Real Estate Market Trends Jan 2012

Posted on by

Austin is hot and I’m not just talking about the weather, though we did have the nation’s high temperature last week with 92 degrees!   Residential houses in the greater Austin area saw an increased volume of sales, with an increase of 10 percent in January compared to 2011.  According to the Austin Board of REALTORS®, the average time a home remained on the market was 85 days in January, which is eight days less than the same month in 2011.  As I have mentioned inventory is low.  How low? There were 6 percent less new listings added in January 2012, than in January of 2011.   January of 2012 also saw 19 percent fewer active homes for sale and 16 percent more home listings pending.

Austin Real Estate Market Data

The Austin Real Estate Market had 4.1 months of homes for sale in inventory in January 2012, which is 1.4 months less than the same month one year ago.  According to the Austin Board of Realtors, this is the lowest inventory the Austin real estate market has seen since they began tracking months of inventory in 2009.

Austin Real Estate Condo Market Data

Austin area estate sale of condominiums and townhomes are up as well, by 27 percent.  According to the Austin Board of Realtors, the median price for a condo in January 2012 was $159,500, which is 4 percent higher than the same month last year.  Active days on the market were 7 percent longer this year, but 121 condos were sold in January 2012, which is 27% more than January of last year.

Subdivisions by the Numbers

Posted on by

How many Austin homes are for sale in a subdivision near you?  What are the median list prices?  Let’s explore some random Austin subdivisions look at the numbers.  Note these numbers are by specific subdivision name, not by area. There may be more homes available nearby.  When buyers are looking in a general area, like Tarrytown or Travis Heights, I typically set up a map search.  Older neighborhoods are made up of many micro-subdivisions as the land was and is developed.  The subdivision list below is random.  It will give you an overall idea of what to expect in terms of available inventory.  If there is a particular subdivision or neighborhood you would like me to highlight in the future, please ask.
