Even with local “Stay Home Stay Safe” orders in place, Austin-area home sales saw little impact, according to Austin Board of Realtors data released April 16.
Residential sales of single-family homes, condos and townhomes in the five-county Austin-Round Rock metropolitan statistical area—including Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties—increased 2.2% year over year to 3,042 sales, data shows. The median price jumped 11.7% year over year to $335,200, it said.
“For most of March, it was still ‘business as usual,’” ABoR President Romeo Manzanilla, said in a news release. “Declines in listing activity and pending residential sales in March indicate that we won’t begin to see the true impact of COVID-19 on the housing market until our April report.”
He added that realtors were quick to adapt to serve homebuyers and sellers safely during the pandemic.
