AUSTIN, Texas – Following the devastating Texas winter storms that thwarted housing market activity for nearly two weeks, Austin-Round Rock MSA home sales dipped for the first time since June 2020. According to the latest Central Texas Housing Market Report released by the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR), Austin-area home sales declined 8% to 2,389 sales in February.
During the same time, market demand drove housing inventory down 1.2 months to a record-low 0.4 months of inventory and the median home price up 22.5% to an all-time high of $395,000.
“Although the winter storms slowed activity in February, this does not indicate a market slowdown. We’re still very much in a sellers’ market,” Susan Horton, 2021 ABoR president, said. “Across the region, a high quantity of offers, cash offers, and requests to waive appraisals or option fees are increasingly commonplace. Transaction contracts are complex with negotiations that require the expertise of a REALTOR® to navigate.”
Across the five-county MSA, home sales dollar volume jumped 15.9% to $1,207,218,785, while pending sales fell 15.5% to

If you are currently in process of buying or selling a home, talk to your REALTOR® about how recent events might impact your closing timeline and what the appropriate next steps should be – this can include insurance policy terms or additional inspections that may be required.”

AUSTIN, Texas – Aug. 17, 2017 – Single-family home sales volume held steady across the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in July, while housing inventory levels posted strong gains, according to the July 2017 Central Texas Housing Market Report released today by the Austin Board of REALTORS®.
Brandy Guthrie, 2017 President of the Austin Board of REALTORS®, commented: “In years past, the high demand of the summer selling season has further constrained inventory levels and further pushed up home prices. This year has been different, with steady gains in sales volume as well as listings and inventory throughout the summer. During a month when housing inventory should reach its lowest point of the year, housing inventory across the Central Texas region is at its highest point since fall 2012.”

Two builders, Ashton Woods and Trendmaker Homes will start to presale lot and floorplan in the brand new, gated community Lakes Edge soon (as early as July 2017). The community is currently being developed and roads are being put in as quick as possible. Model homes will be constructed in there in the coming months.

I have received numbers of inquiry on the new gated Eanes ISD Lakes Edge community, and it’s understandable that many potential buyers are looking for new construction houses in the top notch Eanes ISD, since there have not had any new homes in Eanes recently years after the close out of Senna Hills. High quality new homes with price range in 500K to 600K will be very attractive considering houses in the nearby Eanes neighbor are way above this range.
The Lakes Edge community was expected to see first move-in ready house on the second half of 2017, and we are eagle to see how the development is going.
I went to visit Lakes Edge Community on the first day of the July, and took some pictures. As you can see, construction is underway for the roads and utilities. There is no sign of any houses, or any land/lot subdivision.

Brandy Guthrie, 2017 President of the Austin Board of REALTORS®, commented, “Housing is the backbone of our region’s economy and the heart of our communities. Housing demand continues to be at an all-time high in and around Austin, indicated by steady growth in home sales and prices, listing activity and housing inventory. The concurrent gains in listing activity and inventory, in particular, are a positive sign that housing inventory could continue to increase throughout the aggressive summer selling season.”
