North Austin Real Estate Market Report February 2010

By jmorelli • March 9th, 2010

This is the second post in our monthly series summarizing the activity in the major real estate markets of North Austin. While sales for the entire Austin market are down slightly, some areas in North Austin are doing very well. The report below shows the sales and new listing volume as well as the average days on market for the homes sold in North Austin:

The North Austin areas 2N and N (made up mainly of the 78758 and 78727 zip codes) posted an increase in the average price per square foot when compared to the January 2010 numbers.

Upon further examination, the report shows that these two areas also had the shortest DOM or “average days on market.” I believe that this is due to the short supply of homes in the area. There have recently been reports of multiple offers on homes in the area, which confirms that we do indeed have a shortage of inventory.

The Cedar Park and Lake Travis areas continue to see the majority of activity, however, due to the high levels of inventory, the spread between the average list price of new listings verus the homes that are selling continues to be large, further indicating that this is a great time to buy high end luxury property.

Our neighborhood report shows a few new and interesting trends. The first is that the Pioneer Crossing subdivision in North Austin seems to be gaining in popularity. Homes here are selling quickly, at 49 days on average, which I attribute to the relative newness of the houses there and the average sales price of $158,748, which appeals to first-time buyers.

Steiner Ranch also continues to see a good amount of activity with 17 closed transactions in February at an average of $117.54 per square foot.
