Right now, Austin is in a seller’s market with only four months of inventory. In other words, if no new homes came on the market, the current housing inventory would sell out in four months. A balanced market typically has around six months of inventory.Prices are still going up. Compared to last year, prices in the Austin area are up 5% to 10%, depending on which specific area you are looking at. Meanwhile, interest rates are near all-time lows. You can get a 30-year fixed rate for 3.25%. All of this means that we are in an interesting market right now. It is a good time to sell your home because prices have increased, so you can cash out on your equity. However, it is also a good time to buy because mortgage interest rates are so low and it’s so cheap to borrow money right now.
