“The Austin housing market remains strong and competitive,” ABoR President Susan Horton said in an Oct. 18 release. “However, more homes are beginning to hit the market evidenced by the increase in new listings in September, which is creating a greater number of opportunities for buyers. While this is a positive step forward, there is a long way to go for this to be a balanced market."
