Zoe Wafelbakker, Austin Realtor, Bramlett Residential

Let's be honest, it doesn't matter what your job is, it's nice to be told you're doing it right. Thank you Katie, loved working with you guys.

📊 The Austin metro real estate market is showing some fascinating trends as we move through the second half of 2025! From rising job postings 📈 to a notable increase in sales volume 💰, there’s a lot to unpack in these detailed charts. The job market is rebounding — Indeed.com shows a +20% YOY increase in job postings since bottoming out in late 2024. A growing job market often signals stronger housing demand in the near future 🏠✨.

📉 At the same time, interest rates are easing — we've dropped from 7.26% in February to 6.29% in September, making home buying more affordable 💸. Though new listings and pending units are down compared to 2024, buyer activity is still strong, especially with a 4.05% YOY increase in volume sold in August. It’s a market that rewards strategy and timing ⏳, and it’s a great time to plan ahead if you’re considering buying or selling.

🏡 Home prices remain steady with a 2.5% increase in the average sold price, and inventory is up 16.7% YOY — giving buyers more choices while sellers benefit from stabilizing values. Even though average days on market have ticked up slightly, homes that are priced and marketed well are still moving 🏃‍♂️💨. Whether you’re upgrading, investing, or just exploring options, this data paints a balanced and opportunity-rich picture of the Austin housing scene.

📈 These charts are incredibly detailed, and I'd be happy to walk through them with anyone curious about the market. Please don’t hesitate to reach out — let’s talk strategy and make the most of this dynamic market! 🗣️📞

I need to post on this page a little more often. :)
I was ever so happy to help my clients and friends sell their investment property over the summer. Glad I was able to get it done for them.

Loved helping my clients buy a gorgeous home in South Austin's Shady Hollow.
