September always feels like a reset button for this market. A few things I'm watching right now, and what they actually mean for you:
🏡 Inventory is a little tighter than earlier this summer. Good homes aren't sitting as long. If you're buying, that means being ready to move when the right one shows up.
💰 Prices are holding steady. Sellers still need to price with the market, not ahead of it, to get real offers.
📉 Buyers have a bit more room to negotiate than they did a year ago. It's not a free-for-all, but it's not 2022 either.
📅 Fall is quietly one of the best times to buy in Austin. Less competition than spring, motivated sellers, and a market that's easier to actually navigate.
If you're weighing a move this fall, whether buying or selling, I'm happy to talk through what these trends look like for your specific situation.
