Despite a Slowdown, the Home Market Austin, Texas, is Showing Resilience
The home market in Austin, Texas, and its surrounding areas continues to cool down, according to new figures. But despite higher mortgage interest rates, the Central Texas market is showing resilience, according to the Austin Board of Realtors. In its July report, the board said home sales in the Austin region edged up 0.6% year-over-year, with 2,815 home sales. Half of those sold for $462,000 or more and half sold for less, for a 10.3% drop in the median price, the board said. "We are seeing a year-over-year decline in median sales prices, as buyers cannot afford the same price points with these higher rates," said Clare Losey, housing economist for the Austin Board of Realtors.
