Median home price helps us see the distribution of multi-family properties sold and does not really give us an indication of the increase or decrease in a particular property’s market value. To analyze market value, we’d have to take an in depth look at a neighborhood. If you’re looking for something like that, please check out our Austin Property Values Report.

Time to Buy? Sell?

Looking strictly at the numbers, it appears the recommendation for this month is – it’s time to sell. With inventory below 2 months and demand up 15%, buyers have fewer choices. And, with median prices up 28%, it’s clear motivated buyers will pay more for properties that meet their investment goals. Plus, they’re making decisions faster. With time to sell down 16%, buyers are ready to strike when they find something they like. On top of motivated buyers, we have sellers who are holding on to their properties longer. With 24% fewer new listings, buyers are going to have to pay more if they want to own a multi family property in Austin.
