Per Treaty Oak Properties: Austin Metro Rental Statistics: MARCH 2024

 Hi George-Vance,


Hope you’re doing great and enjoying the springtime weather! I’m excited to share the most recent leasing stats from the Austin Metro area. As always, I have been closely monitoring our investor and rental market activity and am including the March 2024 statistics in this newsletter along with my observations and notes.


March 2024 SFR and Duplex Rental Stats below:

MARCH 2024 Takeaways:

  • Holding Steady and Very Little Change March 2024 SFR data shows very little change in comparison to 2023, and I’m okay with that. Our low 1.9 months of inventory and 11% decrease in SFR Days on Market is very encouraging. 

  • Duplex Stats still show that we have a bit more inventory available, following the somewhat unseasonal activity we’ve seen through the Fall and Winter months.

  • March is the beginning of ‘Leasing Season’, when annual rental demand begins to significantly increase. For those tracking rental demand, the Total SFR Lease amounts in recent history read as follows: 

March 2022: 1418 TOTAL LEASES > March 2024: 1563 TOTAL LEASES = 10.23% Increase


March 2021: 1360 TOTAL LEASES > March 2024: 1563 TOTAL LEASES = 14.93% Increase

March’s ‘Days on Market’ numbers are looking promising, however; It’s still taking a longer time to lease properties than we are used to seeing. When we are faced with a heavily saturated rental market, the only two levers we can pull to efficiently lease a property and eliminate vacancy are: 


1. Price - tweak the price and make your property the deal!

2. Time - it will take longer to lease - more options to choose from and decisions to be made on the applicants side - setting expectations and understanding this likely scenario are equally as important. 


Keep this in mind, as we approach leasing season and landlords experience vacancies and tenant turnover. Ensure that your pricing strategy is focused on overall annual income/profits that will catch up over time with effective tenant retention.

If you are a landlord, Realtor or a property owner with questions, please reach out. I would love to be a valuable resource for your successful landlord experience, or to help your clients achieve their investment goals. 


I appreciate you reading through and tuning in! I will be back with more Austin Metro rental market data next month.

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

  Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...

Keeping Up with ATX local and Real Estate Broker George Vance McGee....

So GVM, how are you feeling these days? What is the married, family man, new dad lifestyle?  Thanks for asking. Believe it or not, despite my youthful glow and aura, I'm now "over the hill" at 42 years of age. Physically I still feel pretty darn good. I try to cycle often on the hike and bike trail of lady bird lake. I've even bought a bicycle rack for my 2010 Nissan Rogue SUV.  As a Real Estate Industry person, I apologize if my lack of a Range Rover or Mercedes Benz car ownership doesn't suffice. In regards to health, being a newborn dad will really sober you up. Coffee has long since replaced booze in my blood system. When you routinely wake up circa 7:00 am to hug your baby daughter, change her diaper, feed her, have playtime and then drive her to daycare/preschool you need to feel healthy, rested and alert. 1 thing I do miss as a responsible married family man, is the carefree, outgoing, live music and bar hopping nightlife of Austin, Texas. Let's be hone...
