If you’re regularly reading our monthly rental market reports, then you know that home are on the market for an average of about 52 days in Austin as of January. That doesn’t really tell the full picture though.

Even though time on market has increased over the past several months, the best homes are still selling quickly – very quickly. Since buyers mostly comparison shop, they are basing their decision on what other homes are on the market at that price point. Additionally, with real-time emails most buyers are aware of a new listing the moment it hits the market. This allows them to quickly see when a home appears to be a value.

In Austin, we continue to see that buyers aren’t afraid to pull the trigger on a home that stands out from the competition. In fact, they are more afraid to wait. So if you see a house you like online, make it a priority to get over and see it. Don’t wait for the weekend or for when you get back from a trip because chances are, it will be gone.
