Austin Real Estate Market Sees Activity Index Improvement in September 2024

Austin Real Estate Market Sees Activity Index Improvement in September 2024

Published 09/24/2024 | Posted by Dan Price

Austin Real Estate Activity Index Sees Uptick Amid Seasonal Changes and Lower Interest Rates

As of  September 24, 2024, the Austin real estate market is showing signs of improvement, with the Austin Area Real Estate Activity Index reaching its highest point since late July. This shift in the market comes after months of fluctuating activity, driven primarily by changes in both pending sales and the number of active listings. The data reveals a market responding to various factors, including seasonality, improved interest rates, and the attractiveness of current listing prices, many of which have undergone significant price reductions.



Currently, the Activity Index for 2024 sits at 22.4%, marking a notable difference of -12.6% compared to the 25.6% figure from 2023. Despite this decline from the previous year, recent data shows that the market may be turning a corner. Pending sales, for example, are now at 4,247, their highest level since August 1, 2024. Meanwhile, active listings have decreased to 14,753, down from a peak of 15,503 on July 15, 2024. This drop of 750 active listings is a strong indicator of tightening inventory, a trend that often accompanies increased buyer interest.

​

Seasonality continues to play a major role in the fluctuations of the Austin real estate market. As the summer season ends, it's common to see shifts in both inventory and buyer demand. However, in 2024, other factors are intensifying these changes. One of the most significant is the improvement in interest rates, which has made financing more accessible for potential buyers. Coupled with the decreasing number of active listings, this has contributed to an uptick in pending sales, further bolstering the Activity Index.

​

Another critical factor driving the current market is the sharp price reductions across a large percentage of active listings. Of the 14,753 active properties, 56.7% have experienced price drops. These reductions are not minor; in the City of Austin alone, 58.3% of the 2,567 active listings have had price drops, with an average reduction of $98,000, or -7.6%. These price adjustments are drawing more attention from potential buyers, making properties more appealing in a market where affordability remains a key concern.

​

Specific neighborhoods are seeing even more dramatic price cuts. For example, in the 78722 zip code, 51.3% of the 39 active listings have had price reductions, with an average drop of $86,000, or -10.6%. This kind of pricing strategy, paired with lower interest rates, is creating a perfect storm for increased buyer activity as we head into the latter part of the year.


In summary, the combination of improved interest rates, attractive listing prices, and the natural seasonality of the real estate market are all contributing to an upward trend in Austin's Activity Index. While 2024 has shown a slight overall decline compared to 2023, the current data suggests that the market may continue to strengthen as inventory tightens and buyer demand grows.
