2. Austin Market Summary
The mortgage market has slowed, creating
less qualified buyers.
The mortgage market most affected was the
sub-prime sector, including “Jumbo” loans and
non-owner occupant.
Inventory has increased to 90-days in some
areas of Austin, signaling a shifting market
(not buyer’s or seller’s).
Well-priced Austin homes that are staged and
in good condition are seeing multiple and
even full-priced offers.

3. National Sentiment
“Our market is really a tale of two markets—80% of the
homes are overpriced and 20% are well-priced. The well-
priced properties are getting multiple offers. Overpriced
properties are getting none.”
Brian Hickox, Keller Williams Realty
Franklin, Massachusetts

9. Austin Market Overview
The Greater Austin population is
currently at 1.25 Million and is
slated to grow by an additional
million in 10 years.
Austin frequently tops many “best
places to live” surveys due to our
friendly atmosphere, environmental
consciousness and active lifestyle.
Investors and relocation buyers are
still flocking to Texas because of
our affordability, strong job market,
and continued growth.
Austin and Texas have experienced a
market shift, but because we grew at
a slow, steady pace (2.5%-4%), we
will not experience the “bust” of
other markets.

15. Market Reminders**
When a market shifts, the initial
downturn can feel shocking. The
market will often start to stabilize
within 3-6 months, depending on how
rapidly it appreciated.
Buyers should purchase during a
“buyer’s market”, when sellers will
be most realistic and willing to
provide incentives.
Austin sellers can sell within 60-90
days if they price aggressively, use
staging, and look better than any
other home on the market for the
price.
investors may want to adopt a rental
strategy since now is a better time to
buy than when home sales are “hot”.
