🏡📊 Just in: April 2024 Austin Real Estate Market Stats! 📈 Closed listings in the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown MSA surged by 5.9% to 2,708 sales, marking the highest year-over-year increase in residential homes sold this year. Meanwhile, the median home price saw a modest 1.1% rise to $469,998. These numbers reflect a sense of confidence and optimism among both homebuyers and sellers, according to the latest Central Texas Housing Report by Unlock MLS.

Insights from Clare Losey, Ph.D., housing economist for Unlock MLS and the Austin Board of REALTORS®, shed light on the sales growth and interest rate trends. "Despite the higher rate environment, the uptick in affordable inventory in the $300,000 range is allowing more first-time buyers to achieve homeownership," she notes. Looking ahead, she anticipates mortgage rates to remain elevated with a possibility of a gradual decrease, potentially boosting buyers' purchasing power.

Kent Redding, 2024 Unlock MLS and ABoR president, emphasized the ongoing affordability challenge in Austin. "While we're encouraged by the emergence of more housing options, there's still work to be done to address affordability, particularly for first-time buyers, teachers, and first responders," he stated. Redding advocates for housing reforms to ensure a future where everyone can afford to call Austin home. 🏡💼
