Median Sales Price
The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index recently showed that home prices in 20
major metropolitan areas had increased at the strongest pace since the bubble
years. At long last, major national indices are telling the story that local MLS
data users have known for months or even years. Yes, the housing market is
recovering. The recovery varies by geography and market segment, but things
are certainly better than they have been and are showing no signs of letting up.

New Listings in the Austin region increased 9.4 percent to 4,041. Pending Sales
were up 30.4 percent to 3,443. Inventory levels shrank 30.1 percent to 6,510
units.
Prices turned higher. The Median Sales Price increased 9.8 percent to
$225,000. Days on Market was down 29.8 percent to 46 days. Absorption rates
improved as Months Supply of Inventory was down 43.0 percent to 2.7 months.
The prickliest thorns in our collective side are still lack of inventory and subdued
listing activity. In some neighborhoods, consumers have 50 or 60 percent fewer
options from which to choose than they did a few years ago. That's causing
bidding wars in popular areas. Despite the competitive landscape for buyers,
housing remains one of the brightest lights in an otherwise subdued economic
recovery.
