Big news just dropped: Realtor.com just ranked Austin as the #2 buyers’ market in the entire country! 🎉 If you’ve been on the fence about whether now is the right time to buy in Central Texas, this report should have your attention. At the Jorgenson Group, we’ve been feeling the shift on the ground—more inventory, motivated sellers, and opportunities for buyers that haven’t existed in years. (Source: Realtor.com)
So, what makes Austin such a hot spot for buyers right now? For starters, housing inventory has ticked up, giving you more options whether you’re eyeing a bungalow near South Congress, a family-friendly home in Georgetown, or a new build in Pflugerville. With more homes available, sellers are more open to concessions—think closing cost credits, repair allowances, or even mortgage rate buy-downs. Those kinds of perks can save buyers thousands at the closing table. (Source: Realtor.com)
Another factor? Price growth has cooled compared to the wild pandemic-era spikes. While Austin is still a competitive market overall, the days of 20+ offers and homes selling before you can blink are slowing down. That means buyers can breathe a little easier, tour multiple properties, and negotiate without feeling like they’re auditioning for a reality show called Survivor: Austin Real Estate Edition.

Let’s not forget interest rates. Conventional loans are still hovering in the low 6s, and FHA/VA options are closer to the high 5s. That might not sound like fireworks, but here’s the thing: when rates eventually dip lower, competition will heat up fast. Buying now while the market is officially in “buyers’ territory” means you can potentially snag a better deal and refinance later if rates improve. Think of it like grabbing your seat before the concert sells out. (Source: Mortgage News Daily)
And here’s the cherry on top: Austin isn’t just a great place to buy—it’s an incredible place to live. From paddleboarding on Lady Bird Lake, catching live music downtown, or enjoying world-class barbecue at Franklin Barbecue, our city has endless opportunities for adventure, connection, and community. When you combine that lifestyle with buyer-friendly conditions, it’s hard not to get excited. (Source: Visit Austin)
