How’s the Market in Central Texas | Austin Texas Real Estate

Apr 11, 2023
For the first time in ten months, prices increased. The stats I’m providing are resale homes only in Travis and Williamson Counties. More about the stats at the end.
In March, 1,461 resale homes closed in Travis & Williamson Counties which was down 31% from March 2022. The median price in March decreased 16% year-over-year to $475,000. But, it’s a 3.5% increase from February, the first time we’ve seen an increase since last spring. Compared to the peak price of $600,000 last May, we’re now 21% off that price. In real estate, the primary way we measure home values is with the median price. But, there are other numbers worth examining. Year-over-year, the average price of a home dropped 11% to $610,103. It’s down 18% from the peak in May but up 7.2% from last month. The average price per square foot decreased by 15% to $295, and is down 19% from the May high-level mark.
The number of available homes in March was 4,412, up 199% from last March. During the month, 2,750 new listings hit the market which was down 3.5% from last year.
The average sales price to list price ratio was 97.6%. For homes that closed in March, the average days on market was 72, up from 15 last year. The March sales ranged from a low of $125,000 to a high of $9,295,500.
Whether the market has bottomed out is yet to be seen, because one month doesn’t make a trend. But it’s a good sign. Interest rates are around 6.5% for a 30-year loan and they’ve been steady at this point for almost two weeks, which is about as even of a keel that we’ve had in a long time. Other parts of the country are back to multiple offers and over-asking price contracts. We’re not seeing that here at this time. But we had one of, if not the strongest, markets in the US for a few years so our market had further to fall.
The stats I’ve cited are resale homes only in Travis and Williamson County classified as single family residential, condominium, or townhouse. This is different than the stats released by the Austin Board of Realtors which include all types of homes and also include Hays, Bastrop, and Caldwell Counties. Plus, their numbers include any new construction homes listed in the MLS.

CCP’s Six Deadly Moves Put 800 Million Chinese in Debt, with 400 Million People Defaulting
China Observer
Premiered 11 hours ago #chinaeconomy #chinaobserver #chinesedebt
Chinese citizens and businesses are burdened with a heavy load of debt, according to data from China’s central bank, the National People’s Congress, and financial media outlets. Shocking statistics reveal that total personal savings in China amounts to 22.7 trillion yuan, while the combined debt of both businesses and individuals has ballooned to 33.1 trillion yuan. It’s alarming to note that around 500-600 million Chinese citizens do not have any savings at all, and the number of debtors has reached a staggering 700-800 million. Moreover, around 420 million people are at risk of defaulting on their loans, with credit card defaults alone exceeding 200 billion yuan.

Aon Center owner staring down loan trouble
Crain’s Chicago Business|15 hours ago
The skyscraper’s New York-based owner says it needs more time to pay off its debt as a July deadline approaches — a red flag that the city’s second-tallest office tower could add to the rampant distress plaguing downtown real estate.
WINK News is learning more about a disturbing break-in at the Naples Police Department, where a man forced his way in, causing damage before leaving with police gear.
Teresa Heitmann, the Mayor of Naples, told WINK News it baffles her that someone could break into the police department. Going on to say it’s even more concerning, it took hours for police to discover someone was inside.
Mayor Heitmann and Jay Boodheshwar, the City Manager, told WINK News they are taking a long-term look at the security measures they’re using for the city’s buildings.
According to the report, late Friday night Joeseph Moulton coasted past the west door’s security measures at the Naples Police Department.
Once inside, Moulton took a shower, defecated on the women’s locker room floor, stole a bullet-proof vest, put a police radio in the toilet, and then left in police clothing.
It’s a story both the Mayor and City Manager of Naples said is very alarming. But how do officials ensure this doesn’t happen again?
“It is causing us to take a look at our policies or procedures. That’s something that I’ve asked the chief to assemble his team and take a look at what can we do differently to you know, to gain quicker intelligence that something had happened,” City Manager Boodheshwar said.
