Austin-area housing market stays hot, sets January records
Continuing the Austin-area housing market’s hot streak, home sales and the median price paid for those homes set records for a January, according to new data from the Austin Board of Realtors.
Low mortgage interest rates, high demand and a shortage of homes continue to fuel the market and drive prices higher, experts and real estate agents say.
Sales of single-family homes, townhomes and condos soared almost 24% in January, with 2,523 homes changing hands, a record volume for the month.
Half of the houses sold for more than $365,000 and half sold for less, a January record for the median price and an increase of nearly 20% over January 2020’s median.
