The latest housing report shows a shifting market across the Austin MSA. ?? ?? Last month, the median home price dipped 3.9% year-over-year to $430,000, while months of inventory rose to 5.7. For buyers, this means more options and greater negotiating power heading into the spring market. On the rental side, inventory increased to 2.3 months, bringing the median rent down 2.4% to $2,195. With affordability remaining a challenge, leasing continues to be a strong alternative for many. While mortgage rates are expected to stay elevated, more inventory and pricing adjustments are giving buyers and renters new opportunities. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a move, now could be it. Let’s talk about your next steps!
