Austin Texas 78703

78749 Market Statistics for the end of 2010 & start of 2011

Rob Albertson: Real Estate Agent in Austin, TX

Last week, I looked at what the second half of 2010 looked like for 78704 & gave my best guess for the start of 2011. I was curious to see if similar trends exist in Southwest Austin's 78749 zip code.

In the middle of the summer of 2010, Austin was facing the highest levels of inventory in its history & buyers, well, were not there to meet the increase in supply...it was an especially long summer for home sellers.

Just as in 78704, there has been a steady decrease in the number of houses for sale in 78749 since the peak of summer (and the peak of inventory levels):

A decrease in the number of homes for sale in 78749 means nothing unless we look at what's really behind the drop:

We see a quick drop in the number of new listings in 78749 from it's peak of 66 in July down to 35 in September where it holds pretty steady for the rest of the year. The number of expired listings has fluctuated between 21 & 32 and ended the year at 24 in December. And finally the number of sold homes has come down from its peak of 55 in July (which can largely be attributed to closings from the home buyer tax credit) to bounce between 22 & 36. The other category not shown is the number of homes that have been withdrawn from the market, prior to the listing expiration date. This is more difficult number to track but seems to be on pace with the number of expired listings.

So what does this all mean? Well, it seems the home sellers in 78749 quickly realized that the market was vastly different for the back half of 2010 than it was for the first half. We see a rapid adjustment of inventory leaving the market, starting off mostly through expired & withdrawn listings instead of sold inventory. But as 2010 goes, sales remain strong with decreased levels of inventory entering the market, thus self-correctly to a pretty strong housing market. Now, not all the news is good - much of the expired & withdrawn inventory was not relisted, rather held (presumably) for better market signs in the future.

A final graph shows the average months of inventory which is taken by dividing the number of homes on the market by the number under contract. A neutral market (neither a seller's or buyer's market) is generally assumed to be at 6 months (less than 6 months, a seller's market - more than 6 months, a buyer's market):

What this shows is how quickly 78749 was able to move from a neutral market (which felt much more like a buyer's market) in July to a fairly competitive market at the end of 2010.

Just as in 78704, what 2011 brings to 78749 is anyone's guess. I suspect we'll see more homes on the market as seller's hope that spring 2011 is, indeed, the return of housing prosperity. Buyer activity should increase as well due to still historically low interest rates (that have been showing signs of heading northward) and a belief amongst many that the worst is at (or very near) the end. But it remains to be seen whether it's supply or demand that outpaces the other. If the current trend continues, we may likely see it remain neutral for some time to come.

So whether you are a home seller or a home buyer in 2011, I think you'll do fine. If you home has not been listed in the past year or so, you may be competing largely with homes that have tried themselves on the market recently & failed. By getting your home ready for sale & pricing it correctly, you may be pleasantly surprised with the results. As a home buyer, rates should still be held in check & neighborhoods will be at the most affordable in years. If you're looking for a long-term investment, it'll be a great year to buy. Either way, it should be an interesting year.

House Hunting in Austin Texas for the Best Buys!

David Raesz: Real Estate Agent in Austin, TX

House Hunting in Austin Texas for the best buys has become a hobby for so many investors and especially first time home buyers. The market became saturated with inventory back in August and September reaching a all time high of 13,853 which was an increase of 35% from where we started at the beginning of the year.

Since then many sellers have been taking their homes off the market for several reasons. First, motivation to sell their home. The enthusiasm dwindled when they could not get a buyer or one that was willing to pay too high of a price. Second, the competition became too strong with short sales, foreclosures, and homes down the street that continued to drop their price.

October will prove to be the market every buyer has been waiting for in purchasing a home for sale in Austin Texas and surrounding communities. The Prices are low and the interest rates have dropped. With a 4% interest rate and prices that have adjusted by as much as 10 to 20% this is the market of the moment. Builders inventory has decreased and going into spring of 2011 there will be a housing shortage. Now it is all about the buyer to find motivation and the seller to have patience.

You can go online and find all homes for sale in Austin Texas at www.YourKeyToResults.com which provides new, resale, short sales, pre-foreclosures, and land to go and build on. Many of the smaller custom home builders have left and now offer remodeling of your existing home.

One community that has remained strong even in the downturn of the economy and job loss, yes even here in Austin Texas has been the corridor of Escarpment Blvd, Slaughter Lane, William Cannon, Camp Ben McCullough, and west of Mopac. The communities in this area are Legend Oaks, Circle C, Maple Run, Western and Village at Western Oak, and Sendera. Location speaks loud and clear and both buyers and sellers have had great success!

There is currently 164 homes for sale and 61 pending contracts to close. The best part is there was 38 closings which is only a 4.3 month of inventory. Anything less than five months is considered to be in a sellers market.

Circle C The Enclave KB Home New homes for sale Austin TX

Hello. My name is Agent Aaron Vaughn, and I am a real estate agent and REALTOR® here in the great state of Texas. I live near Austin TX, and work mostly around Austin, from San Marcos, TX to Georgetown, TX — anywhere that falls within the borders of the Austin Board of REALTORS® MLS.

With so many choices for you among real estate agents, sales agents in new-home communities, and homebuilders, why should you choose me, Agent Aaron?

I am glad you asked!

First of all — sales agents that work in model homes of new construction communities are NOT the same as a Buyers Agent. They work for the builder. There job is to make you think they work for YOU, but in reality, they work for the BUILDER. Many don't even have real estate licenses.

I, Agent Aaron, am not only a real estate agent and REALTOR®, I am a Buyers Agent — so I represent YOU, the client, in the process.

What are my specialized qualifications? How can I help YOU get what YOU want?

I have owned, fully or partly, three homebuilding companies in the past. My companies have built almost 1000 homes, so I understand the draw of new construction homes for homebuyers; I offer a very unusual level of expertise in the new-home construction process for my clients and potential clients.

Also, I am aware of the "insiders" specials that are featured by various builders and communities, so that means I can work even harder to get you a better deal.

Welcome home: New homes for sale, Agent Aaron Austin TX

Whether you are buying a "spec" new construction home, or a "presale" new construction home, I can really help you get through the process smoothly. Even if you plan on purchasing a custom home on a lot that you already own, I can consult with you about the process and expectation levels.

Now that I am a real estate agent, I get to work for YOU, the client. I am fully on the side of my clients.

Not only are my commissions paid by sellers (builders or owners) when you purchase a home in a new-home community, but I know the negotiation process for the purchase of a brand new home as well as anybody I am confident of that. I have negotiated a quarter of a BILLION dollars in construction related contracts (with buyers, sellers, developers and vendors).

Think about it: Why not have that kind of experience and moxie on YOUR side when you buy a new-construction home in the Austin, TX area? It makes all the sense in the world.

I have studied most of the major builders here in Central Texas, and I have opinions about them that I am happy to share with clients who allow me to represent them. I also keep abreast of the builder-business news, and monitor the overall financial health of various publicly-traded homebuilders. I can share my opinions about these matters when I am on your team.

Buyer incentives: New Homes for sale Austin, TX

As a special incentive to new clients, I am offering assistance with your closing costs when you allow me to be your representative; call me, Agent Aaron, for details at 512-845-4204.
