What they’re saying

Clare Knapp, housing economist for Unlock MLS and the Austin Board of Realtors, said in a press release that the Central Texas housing data reflects health market adjustments, which could lead to more balanced conditions for both buyers and sellers.

"At some point, a slowing market can motivate sellers to adjust prices to better align with what buyers can afford. We're seeing that dynamic begin to unfold in Central Texas. It's not that demand has disappeared—buyers still want homes here, but affordability remains a key factor. Many are waiting for the right opportunity or more favorable pricing,” Knapp said. “The notable increase in pending sales in May signals that buyer activity has picked up after a challenging first quarter. While higher mortgage rates continue to impact buyer confidence, these trends point to cautious optimism as we move into the summer."
