What you need to know……

How it impacts you……

Are buyers still absorbing inventory at the same pace as a few months ago?

No. The Absorption rate is under 2 months of inventory and 6 months is a balanced market. We are seeing a slowdown in buyer appetite fueled by several factors:  

♦ Interest Rates

♦ Fewer mortgage applications

♦ Property tax concerns (I bet there are record protests this year at the county tax assessor)

♦ Buyer fatigue

♦ Home values

♦ Media noise (locally and a lot of national rumblings about a recession)

♦ Inflation

♦ Economic insecurity

The list to sell ratios are still strong but expect to see them slip as we head into fourth quarter. Buyers are scrutinizing their negotiating opportunities carefully.

Outlook for Home Sales in Canyon Creek 

Moving into fourth quarter 2022 we will continue to experience inadequate inventory to meet the demand. However the rising interest rates and economic insecurity will hold the market back in terms of sales momentum! It’s not unreasonable to assume serious buyers will continue to actively look and secure homes. Buyers are motivated to beat the next round of increased interest rates. They understand the rising rents are outpacing monthly mortgage payments.

Seller’s pricing a home correctly is key! The “right” price brings buyers and fewer days on market and remember the eye buys! The number of price reductions is up considerably so don’t fall in that trap and over price!

I believe in Austin, and with the economic engine churning with businesses and people continuing to move here, we are in a good place to be.
