Residential Sales Report February 2009 New listings are beginning their annual post-winter rise, but were 15.7 lower in February than during the same month last year, posting 3,061 units for the month. Pending sales are a different story, down 23.2 percent from last February to 1,547 sales. Year to date, prices are relatively even with where they were last year. The median sales price to date is $181,500, which is 0.3 percent behind last year’s mark of $182,025. Despite this holding pattern in prices, affordability in the Austin region has improved thanks to plunging mortgage rates. The Housing Affordability Index currently sits at 148, which is up 4.5 percent from last year at this time. And although the Days on Market Until Sale has increased precipitously (17 percent over last year, to 83), the HAI for Austin has actually increased, to 148 (4.5 percent over last February). The market is still relatively balanced between buyers and sellers at 6.0 months of supply. Low interest rates and the recent announcement of an $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers could help offset declines in sales brought about by the national recession.
