Time to Buy? Sell?
As we always say, the time to buy or sell a condo in Austin is when it’s right for you. Trying to time your condo purchase or sale for the market is next to impossible. The only way to know we’ve hit the peak or the bottom of the market is when it’s behind us. The most important factor in the decision to purchase is are you financially and emotionally ready to own a condo? Work with professionals who can help you wade through your finances and living situation and help you make an informed decision.
If you’re looking strictly at the numbers – it’s time to buy. We are officially in a buyer’s market and have been for several months now. Though median price is up 11%, inventory has gone up 13%, so buyers are getting more choices and are able to negotiate more. We also saw a 19% decrease in condo sales, so sellers who are needing to sell are starting to feel the pinch. To a seller, it still feels like there are fewer buyers in the market, which will make motivated sellers nervous and more willing to negotiate with a buyer. Time to sell is up 16%, so buyers are also taking more time to make a decision. Buyers who can scout condos as soon as they’re listed will be able to buy themselves some more time to make a decision and beat buyers who aren’t as on top of their search. As we head into the slower season during the last quarter of the year, it will be interesting to see how deep into a buyer’s market we will get. Or if we will see an increase due to the recent political and economic changes. Buyers who are looking for a good deal should position themselves to start the condo buying process now so they can be ready should the opportunity present itself. We typically see a dip in the market and even further reduction in prices during the holiday months, so buyers who start now versus waiting until spring will likely spend less. With the political changes, we are expecting the market to bounce back early next year, so buying now might be a way to save yourself some money.
If you need to sell, know you’re still able to do that if you have patience and persistence. Be prepared for buyers to change their mind and get through all the contingencies before you determine your unit is sold. That being said, buyers are still out there and they’re making strong offers for units they feel stand out. Make your condo stand out as a value compared to the competition and you will be successful at getting an offer. Remember, positioning your condo as a value doesn’t just mean pricing lower. If you’re looking to sell a condo in Austin, spend some time preparing your condo to meet the market. The best condos are still selling quickly and for more money than they were last year. With some preparation and market appropriate pricing, you’ll have no trouble finding a buyer. Check out our Condo Marketing Plan, which we know is the best in Austin for how our team will sell your home faster and for more money than any other team in Austin.
If you’re looking to buy, be clear on what you want so you can be quick to move an offer if you find something that fits. Don’t wait until the weekend to check out listings in person. If you can, set alerts and get inside properties of interest early, you might just beat out the competition. Buyers have become complacent and are waiting to see condos thinking they have time. If you can beat them to the punch and make offers, you just might be successful. Though interest rates have risen, they are expected to rise even more in the coming weeks, so this might be the lowest we’ll see for a while. Scout new listings as soon as they are listed. Buyers today are getting complacent and waiting days to see condos when it is convenient for them. The problem is the best units are gone by then. Make house hunting a priority and you’ll have some extra time to make a decision. If you’re looking to buy, our team of experienced buyer’s agents can help you find the right condo in the right complex for you and your family. Because we know the market, we’re also pretty good at negotiating good deals as well.
