Twice in two years, Austin’s residential real estate market has built momentum toward recovery – and twice, external economic disruptions have stalled it. The pattern points to a market not in decline but in a holding pattern shaped more by geopolitical uncertainty than by local fundamentals, according to Brooke Roeder, Principal of the Roeder Group ...

Inventory in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex has been building for months, and homes are sitting far longer than many sellers anticipated. Average days on market in some parts of Dallas proper have stretched to around five months, according to brokers working the area.

Two homes listed at $400,000 in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro can carry noticeably different monthly mortgage payments, depending on the county or school district.

The gap between Houston’s residential market and its coastal neighbor shows what happens when short-term rental speculation meets a correction.

But the sharper ...

The U.S. rental market built aggressively during the pandemic era, particularly in Sunbelt cities like Nashville, Austin, and Dallas. Now much of that new inventory, especially high-end apartments, is sitting partially empty, competing for renters whose budgets have tightened considerably since construction began.

For buyers waiting on the largest purchase of their lives, the appraisal process is one of the last black boxes in a home purchase.
