The Austin real estate market is gaining momentum as spring approaches. Average home values across Austin remain near $490K, reflecting a stabilized market after recent price corrections. Homes are typically spending 70–90 days on the market, giving Austin home buyers more inventory and negotiation opportunities. Meanwhile, Austin home sellers are finding success when homes are priced competitively and presented well as demand slowly increases heading into the spring buying season. 💼
💰 Mortgage rates for 30-year fixed loans are holding in the low-6% range, offering relatively stable financing conditions compared to recent years. Rate stability is encouraging buyers who paused during higher rate spikes to re-enter the Austin housing market.
