2025 Housing Market Analysis and Predictions for Austin and Texas

Austin Real Estate 2025: 2024 Year in Review & 2025 Predictions!

Ryan Gomillion provides us with a detailed market overview, noting that 2024 saw Austin’s average home price settle at $559,000—a 6% decrease from 2023. Ryan explains that while this might seem concerning at first glance, it actually represents a healthy market stabilization after the post-COVID boom. He points out that the median price has found stable ground at $432,000, with suburban areas continuing to attract buyers through their affordability and new developments.

As we look ahead to 2025, strategic planning and timing will be key in the Austin real estate market. While the market is anticipated to grow due to strong fundamentals such as job growth, population influx, and quality of life, it will be important to be strategic when buying or selling.

OMG, the TEXAS Housing Market Will CRASH in 2025!!!

Chris Pesek and co-host, Steve Babcock, address market concerns head-on, examining predictions of potential price declines in Texas metropolitan areas. Chris puts these predictions into perspective, explaining that the forecasted 1.8% decline in Austin home prices by January 2025 (followed by a 0.4% drop by October) represents market stabilization rather than a crash. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these numbers in context, particularly given the historical price increases of recent years.

Chris emphasizes that, to successfully navigate the Texas real estate market, you need to consider everything that’s going on. This means thinking about the economy, interest rates, what big players are doing, and your own finances. Superficial and sensationalized reporting can easily lead to poor decision-making, so it’s important to delve deeper than headlines and accurately interpret the data. Making smart decisions in 2025 and beyond is all about looking at the big picture.
