![Who's buying all these homes? Here's a profile of the Texas homebuyer - Austin Business Journal](https://img4.findglocal.com/582/444/394953935824448.jpg)
The average Texas homebuyer looks a lot like their national counterpart: each is in their late 40s, with a median household income of more than $100,000. What sets Texas buyers apart? Texans love a new build with 33% of homebuyers in 2021 purchasing new homes, more than double the national rate of 15%. Texas homeowners also now spend an average of 7 years in their home before choosing to sell, down from almost 10 years in 2020 and a clear sign of the big profits that have been available to sellers, especially in the Austin market.

![60% of homes sold in Austin metro in 2021 went for more than list price - Austin Business Journal](https://img4.findglocal.com/593/822/393816195938222.jpg)
When Moreland Properties Realtor Cory Laurel says that bidding over asking "is the only way to do it right now," you better believe it. In 2021, 60% of homes sold in the Austin metro area went for more than list price. Incredibly low inventory coupled with high demand means that once a home hits the market, there are plenty of buyers angling for a chance to purchase it. Going in with your best offer - likely well above list price - is the recommended course of action most of the time now.
60% of homes sold in Austin metro in 2021 went for more than list price - Austin Business Journal "After several weekends of going out, touring homes, identifying the right one to submit an offer on, they get discouraged," one agent said. "It’s not uncommon to have your offer rejected four or five weekends in a row."

Buying a home is expensive. Owning it free and clear is priceless. That's the reason it's absolutely essential to receive a warranty deed during the closing indicating that the seller is transferring its entire interest-free and clear of any outstanding debts, liens, mortgages, or other liabilities.

![North Austin housing about as hot as it gets - Austin Business Journal](https://img3.findglocal.com/963/893/390142369638938.jpg)
North Austin's hot housing market is attracting plenty of new developments, part of a trend towards increasing density and offering some relief from rapidly rising prices. Among the developments in the mix: EastVillage, a mixed-use, 425-acre project set to have up to 2,000 apartments and more than 450 single-family homes, and Uptown ATX, a $3 billion mixed-use development near the Domain. While we're still years away from everything being fully built, these developments will bring some much-needed housing (plus plenty of restaurants and shops) to one of Austin's fastest-growing areas.
North Austin housing about as hot as it gets - Austin Business Journal Housing prices are rising fast in North Austin — one ZIP code saw the median home price leap 54% year over year. Many developers are prioritizing density on this side of town.

Travis County tops yet another list. This time for the most expensive median home listing prices in all of Texas. At $637,000 as of February 2022, the county's median listing price increased $200,000 compared to February 2018 figures.

![A record number of Austin homes are worth more than $1 million](https://img3.findglocal.com/708/399/382358447083997.jpg)
In just two years, the number of Austin homes valued at more than $1 million tripled, more than any other Texas city and a new record for the metro area. $1M+ properties now represent 12.3% of all homes in the area, an astonishing figure and yet another sign that local homeowners have reaped quite the benefit from strong price appreciation over these last several years.
A record number of Austin homes are worth more than $1 million Incomes are rising, but not as quickly as home prices — leaving many people stuck as renters.
![How much do Americans know about buying a home?](https://img4.findglocal.com/055/432/380988530554322.jpg)
Considering it's the biggest purchase most people make in their lives, it's surprising that more than half of Americans know alarmingly little about the homebuying process according to a recent MoneyWise survey. The good news: there are more resources than ever before for buyers to turn to for guidance. Plus, we know a thing or two about the process and are always happy to answer questions. ziptitleco.com

![Factors to consider when choosing between buying an existing house or a newly constructed one](https://img3.findglocal.com/084/834/378048300848345.jpg)
Debating whether to buy an existing house or a newly constructed one? The process can be quite different depending on which option you choose, with the biggest variable perhaps being timeline. Existing homes typically close within four to six weeks whereas a new house might take six to nine months - if not longer - before you can move in. Read more about the factors to consider when looking for your next home.

![People Moving to Texas Not the Main Source of Surging Home Prices: Researchers](https://img4.findglocal.com/101/839/376347801018395.jpg)
Blame limited inventory and low mortgage rates - not wealthy out-of-towners - for surging home prices in Texas. That's the consensus from research conducted by the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University, which found "essentially no correlation between Texas' statewide home-price appreciation and migration patterns over the past 15 years." Might not be much consolation for homebuyers, but might make them think twice next time they meet someone who says they're from New York or California. 😉

![In Booming Austin, Texas, There Is Still Room for Upside in Key Areas](https://img3.findglocal.com/458/786/373986464587862.jpg)
Areas like Dripping Springs, Spicewood, and Lakeway are not only beautiful, but they offer homebuyers excellent opportunities to find nice homes at a fraction of the price of Central Austin neighborhoods. Take agent Michael Reisor, Douglas Elliman Texas' clients, who purchased 8 acres of land in Spicewood with access to the lake, a boat slip, and panoramic views for $1.3 million. And with home values continuing to rises, getting in now at these price points could yield substantial upside down the road. 🙌

![Experts: Austin home prices to keep rising in 2022, but at a slower pace](https://img5.findglocal.com/166/367/369894991663676.jpg)
Some relief for Austin homebuyers after years of sticker shock. Austin home prices are expected to continue increasing this year, but likely not as fast as the past two years. Given the median home price in the Austin metro area shot up 30% in January, buyers could use all the slowdown they can get. Plus, some moderation in the pace of price appreciation is necessary to continue to support an influx of new residents and fuel long-term growth.
Experts: Austin home prices to keep rising in 2022, but at a slower pace The fundamentals of the local housing market aren't going to change anytime soon, but new factors in play could slow down price appreciation.

When it comes to the future of Austin real estate, wide-open spaces on the city's outskirts are the new reality for many homebuyers. Just ask local blogger Jane Ko, who decided to build a semi-custom home on an empty lot near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Larger lots, more privacy, and the ability to customize have all led to a surge in demand for new builds in the suburbs around Austin.
