Local Market Insight

The Austin housing market is experiencing notable shifts this May, with increased inventory and stable prices providing unique opportunities for buyers. Despite slight declines in sales activity, the market is gradually stabilizing, creating a more balanced environment for those looking to purchase a home in Austin.

Advice for Buyers

With inventory levels at their highest since the pandemic, buyers have more options. It’s a prime time to explore the market and find a home that meets your needs. Homes are staying on the market longer, reducing the urgency to make hasty decisions. This gives buyers the advantage of time to evaluate options and make informed offers. With more homes available and sellers eager to close deals, buyers can potentially negotiate better prices or obtain seller concessions.

Advice for Sellers

Longer time on market and heightened competition mean that strategic pricing and strong home presentation are crucial. Sellers must set realistic expectations—homes not priced competitively or poorly presented are taking longer to sell or experiencing price reductions.

National Insight

“U.S. home sales activity continues to hover below recent norms as buyers contend with higher inventory and still-elevated mortgage rates, but more choices and stable home prices are signs that markets are normalizing after several turbulent years.”
