AUSTIN, Texas — In May, the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown MSA saw a 12.8% decline in closed listings with 4.9 months of available inventory, a level that hasn’t been seen in 13 years according to the latest Central Texas Housing Report released by Unlock MLS. Meanwhile, active listings ticked up 37.7% year-over-year. Because of this increase in available options, buyers have the power to be more selective when purchasing a home.
Housing market reports may seem out of your realm of relevance, but knowing about the economic forecast for homes in Austin can make your life a lot easier when it comes time to buy or sell a home. The economy fluctuates with every passing day, which usually is a direct indicator for the national economy as a whole.⁠⠀

Buda, Texas, is about 25 minutes south of Austin. My first-time buyer clients love this town because of its proximity to downtown and the volume of new construction. Today, I was out in a neighborhood called Sunfield, touring three different builders. My clients are looking for a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom two story home with a big backyard for under $400k. The builders have some amazing incentives like low interest rates, money toward closing costs, and lovely layouts. Thanks to my clients for a fun day! Next stop is the lender then pick their favorite. Let's move!

I love my clients. Let's move!

Part of why I love Austin 🏠 Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail 🚲🌞

Located right in urban Austin, this loop along Lady Bird Lake cuts right through the heart of the city, making it the perfect option for a zero-travel or after-work jaunt.

Length: Up to 10 miles (you can exit the trail at one of several bridges to choose your own distance)
Difficulty: Easy to difficult
Time: From a few minutes to hours, depending on how long you stay on the trail

Why it’s great: Hikers and bikers alike love this destination because it’s easy to access, affords stunning views of the town lake, and allows for a choose-your-own-adventure style experience. You can ride, run, or walk the entire 10 miles of the loop or take a quick detour before stopping off for a snack at Auditorium Shores (on the west side) or Fiesta Garden (on the east side). Plus, this trail boasts a great view of the city skyline to help you get familiar with Austin’s beauty.
