Austin, TX: Real Estate Facts, Stats and Trends from July 2021

/

Let’s be real, ATX real estate has seen an absolute explosion in growth recently. Those who live there can definitely feel the impact, but at the same time, we all know why: Austin is a fantastic and exciting place to live. With the help of resources from ABoR, we have compiled some real estate market trends and stats that will help show the magnitude of how much Austin really has grown in July 2021 from the county level, metro level and city level. 

Let’s kick things off with some infographics:

Key takeaways from these 3 infographics:

  • Median Sales Prices collectively increased by a whopping 35%, making the average median sales price of a home in this area $535,325. Yikes.

  • Homes in Austin lived an average of 12 Days on the Market, a significant decrease from the previous year by nearly 26 days, on average. The demand for Austin real estate is more real than ever.

  • The amount of Closed Sales dropped across the board by an average of 10.3%, which means there is clearly less inventory available with demand continuing to skyrocket.

  • Despite the dip in amount of Closed Sales, we saw a decent spike in Total Sales Dollar Volume, showcasing a 16.3% average increase. The scarcity factor for those looking to purchase is really setting in.

With the demand for homes increasing, and obviously, prices for homes increasing all throughout Travis County, you have to be even more weary of the property tax increases. This literally affects all homeowners, whether you are actively selling, buying or staying put.
