If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years at the Jorgenson Group, it’s that real estate loves balance—and right now, that’s exactly where we are. As our Team Leader, Kasey Jorgenson, recently put it: “The local real estate market is moving at a steady pace — not hot, not cold — and that’s creating real opportunity for buyers and sellers alike.” That’s right, folks. We’re in the Goldilocks Zone of real estate—just right. Whether you’re thinking about buying your first home or preparing to list, this season might be your best window before things shift again.
Interest Rates Are Cooling Down (Finally!)
Let’s be real—interest rates have been the main character in this year’s real estate story. But lately? They’ve started to calm down, giving buyers a reason to smile again. With improved rates, we’re also seeing a rise in consumer confidence, especially among first-time homebuyers eager to stop renting and start owning. If rates continue this trend into December, we could see one of the strongest finishes to a year that’s been anything but predictable. So if you’ve been waiting for a “sign” to buy, this might just be it. (Source: Austin Board of REALTORS®)
Our Upcoming First-Time Buyer Seminars
Because this is such a prime opportunity market, our team will be hosting several First-Time Buyer Seminars in the coming months. These events are designed to help buyers understand every step of the process—from pre-approval to closing—and navigate today’s market with confidence. Whether you’re in Austin, Round Rock, or Georgetown, you’ll walk away with actionable insights (and maybe a few laughs) from our expert agents who have seen it all. Bring your questions—we’ll bring the coffee.
Sellers, This Is Your Moment Too
If you’re on the selling side, this balanced market is working in your favor, too. Buyers are serious, inventory is steady, and homes that are priced right and presented beautifully are still flying off the market. Kasey often reminds our sellers that “the right strategy still wins.” From professional staging to high-impact marketing, our systems are built to help your home shine across all four MLS networks—Unlock MLS, CTXMLS, SABOR, and HARMLS—so your property gets maximum visibility.
Why This Is an ‘Opportunity Market’
When Kasey says this is an opportunity market, he means it. This isn’t a time to sit on the sidelines—it’s a time to act strategically. Buyers can still find value, sellers can still command strong prices, and both sides can win with the right game plan. And that’s exactly what we’re here for. Whether you’re dreaming of a Hill Country escape or want to move closer to Austin’s buzz, our team has the expertise, tools, and heart to guide you every step of the way. (Source: Visit Austin)
