Buyers on the Search…

Winter 2025 Central Texas Real Estate Market. Observations I’m seeing my from desk, business and brokerage practice:

  1. Mortgage Interest Rates Linger in the 6.5-7.25+ % range

  2. Austin, Texas Rental Rates are down 15%-20% City Wide

  3. Appears to still be a Buyer’s Leaning Sales Marketplace

  5. Austin Texas in 2025 is no longer the National “It” Place of Years/ Decades Past

  6. Spec Builder Home LOT buyers are optimistic, yet picky.

In my 15+ years of predominantly residential Central Austin brokerage practice and experience, here are my insights, opinions, suggestions and things to be cognizant of.  #1. Absolutely, for sure get a LICENSED INSPECTION on the flipped house! Not all flippers are the same. Just like in life there is a wide spectrum in regards to quality. Some flippers are flat out awful. They make very lipstick-like improvements, skip the expensive items such as the foundation, and plumbing and try to trick the consumer into paying more for a home, when the consumer shouldn't.  On the Flip Side (this joke was just too obvious) There are also excellent high-quality flippers whom selectively choose which homes they flip, and then they invest carefully and beautifully while genuinely  improving a home!
