June 2020 market statistics for the Central Texas area have been released by The Austin Board of Realtors® (ABoR). Included below are highlights for the Austin-Round Rock MSA and Williamson County.
Despite the continued COVID-19 pandemic being felt by all of us, Austin-area home sales rebounded across the region by 9.3% (2020 vs 2019). With continued declining inventory and stable prices, it remains a seller's market.
Year over year metrics:
In the combined Austin-Round Rock MSA, continued demand and limited inventory drove home prices up and sales increased. The median price for residential homes increased 4% to $340,000 and residential sales increased 9% to 3,969 sales. New listings fell 5% to 4,170 listings, active listings decreased 32% to 5,300 listings and pending sales increased 33% to 4,737. Monthly housing inventory decreased 0.9 months year over year to just 1.8 months of inventory.
In Williamson County alone June residential sales increased by 16% to 1,352 sales, and the median price rose 4% to $304,090. New listings rose 2% to 1,400 listings, while active listings decreased 35% to 1,615 listings. Pending sales jumped 41% to 1,605 total pending sales. Housing inventory declined by 1 month to 1.6 months of inventory.
