🌞 Howdy, Austin! Let’s Dive into Today’s Real Estate Roundup – Sunday, September 22, 2024 🌞
Ah, it feels like just yesterday we were floating down Barton Springs and now, here we are, cruising through late September with the sun still blazing like a BBQ pit at a Texas cookoff. Speaking of heat, the real estate market is mirroring our temps, and we’ve got the lowdown to keep y’all as informed as a bat knows the Congress Avenue Bridge. 🦇
🏡 The Skinny on Austin’s Real Estate Scene 🏡
Hot Off the Press: The Most and Least Affordable Housing Markets in Texas
Y’all, the word on the street (well, actually from 24/7 Wall St.) is that our beloved Austin-Round Rock area is sitting pretty (or not so pretty) as the least affordable housing market in Texas. With the pandemic and those pesky high mortgage rates, owning a home is getting tougher than finding parking at Zilker on a sunny Saturday. Beaumont-Port Arthur snagged the title for most affordable, but we’re keeping our eyes peeled on how this shakes up our local scene. Read more about this Texas-sized issue right here.
Why does this matter to us Austinites, you ask? Well, knowing where we stand helps us navigate the market smarter, whether you’re thinking of buying, selling, or just staying put and crying into your breakfast taco about property taxes. 🌮
Building Our Future: Yesterday’s Construction Permits
Looks like we’re skipping stones over this section today, folks. Not a peep or a permit worth gossiping about. But hey, that just means we’ve got more time to chat about the homes that are already standing tall and proud, waiting for someone to love ’em.
🌦️ Weather Watch: Don’t Melt Out There! 🌦️
Today’s a scorcher with highs hitting 97°F, so slap on that sunscreen and hat. Tonight, we’re cooling down to a more breathable 73°F. Remember, staying hydrated is key, especially if you’re out there house hunting or plotting your next big move in the shade.
