A quick real estate market data update for the city of Austin, Texas for the last two 9 month periods:

• A quick view at how our market is doing comparing the following two periods: January 1st, 2009 to September 25, 2009 and January 1st, 2010 to September 25, 2010
• Between January 1st, 2010 and September 25, 2010, 6,054 homes have sold in Austin.
• Compared to 6,230 homes sold for the same period in 2009
• This shows that we’ve had a slight decline of ~3% in actual market activity for 2010.

However for the 6,054 homes that have sold in 2010:

• The Median Home Price was $245,000!
• When compared to the 6,230 homes that sold in the same period in 2009
• The Median Home Price (half sold above, half sold below) was $233,325.
• This shows that we’ve had a slight increase int the Median Home Price of ~5%

Also on a good note for all Austinites:

• The median days on the market for 2009 was at 43 Days.
• This year it has been 36 Days
• Which means houses are selling in less time and for more money
• What does this mean? Are we actually doing Better? or is this just the remaining
  dust cloud left behind by the artificially (tax credit) manipulated market?
