Austin Market Summary The mortgage market has slowed, creating less qualified buyers. The mortgage market most affected was the sub-prime sector, including “Jumbo” loans and non-owner occupant. Inventory has increased to 90-days in some areas of Austin, signaling a shifting market (not buyer’s or seller’s). Well-priced Austin homes that are staged and in good condition are seeing multiple and even full-priced offers. **All Rights Reserved, Copyright Dee Copeland 2007.

National Sentiment “Our market is really a tale of two markets—80% of the homes are overpriced and 20% are well-priced. The well- priced properties are getting multiple offers. Overpriced properties are getting none.” Brian Hickox, Keller Williams Realty Franklin, Massachusetts

Austin Market Analysis* *Data Compiled from the Austin Board of REALTORS MLS & Analyzed By Dee Copeland, Texas Broker-Associate

Austin Market Overview The Greater Austin population is currently at 1.25 Million and is slated to grow by an additional million in 10 years. Austin frequently tops many “best places to live” surveys due to our friendly atmosphere, environmental consciousness and active lifestyle. Investors and relocation buyers are still ﬂocking to Texas because of our affordability, strong job market, and continued growth. Austin and Texas have experienced a market shift, but because we grew at a slow, steady pace (2.5%-4%), we will not experience the “bust” of other markets. **All Rights Reserved, Copyright Dee Copeland 2007.

Market Reminders** When a market shifts, the initial downturn can feel shocking. The market will often start to stabilize within 3-6 months, depending on how rapidly it appreciated. Buyers should purchase during a “buyer’s market”, when sellers will be most realistic and willing to provide incentives. Austin sellers can sell within 60-90 days if they price aggressively, use staging, and look better than any other home on the market for the price. investors may want to adopt a rental strategy since now is a better time to buy than when home sales are “hot”. **All Rights Reserved, Copyright Dee Copeland 2007.
