It is about 80 miles north of San Antonio and 100 miles south of Waco. While Austin is the state capital of a very conservative state, Austin tends to lean more towards the left. The town offers diverse entertainment, from fishing, swimming and water sports on Lake Travis, to many different live music venues mostly centered around 6th street downtown. Austin hosts both the Austin Music Festival and SXSW (South by Southwest) music festival every year. Austin also features one of the largest public park systems in the nation and fine dining can be found all over Austin but especially downtown. It is a great place to relax and be laid back and is an outdoor focused city. Search Real Estate by Region
July Figures Reveal Early Peak for Austin Real Estate MarketAustin Board of REALTORS® releases June 2010 real estate statistics
Source: ABoR August 20, 2010 -According to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) report released today by the Austin Board of REALTORS®, the Austin real estate market appears to have experienced its summer peak early this year due to the expiration of federal homebuyer tax credits in April. The volume of Austin area home sales in July 2010 was 1,518, down 25 percent from the same month in 2009. The median price for July 2010 was $222,000, up 15 percent from July 2009. In addition, the number of days on market decreased three percent to 73 days for July 2010 when compared to July 2009. “To gauge trends in the real estate market, which is cyclical, we usually compare one month’s performance to the same month the prior year,” explained John Horton, Chairman of the Austin Board of REALTORS®. “This year, however, we have the unique situation of the homebuyer tax credits that inspired many buyers to purchase homes sooner than usual. Thus, it’s more meaningful to evaluate our market from a year-to-date perspective, instead of month-to-month, to gain a clear picture.” So far this year, 11,260 homes have been sold in Austin, a five percent increase compared to the same time period in 2009. In addition, the median price year-to-date was $194,000, up two percent from 2009, and days on market decreased 12 percent from 2009 to 71 days. Chairman Horton continued, “Looking at our market year-to-date, it’s clear that the demand for homes is still strong, based both on increases in the number of homes sold and decreases in how long it takes to sell a home. We do have more active listings on the market, which means there is an ample supply of homes for prospective buyers. The stability shown in the median price of single-family homes shows Austin real estate continues to hold its value well.” July 2010 Statistics
