Note: I'm tracking data for many local markets around the U.S. I think it is especially important to watch inventory this year.

For the Austin-Round Rock area: Central Texas Housing Market Report; July 2021

Residential home sales decreased across the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) for the first time since May 2020, according to the Austin Board of REALTORS® July 2021 Central Texas Housing Report. Despite the dip, the five-county MSA was just 445 homes shy of breaking the all-time home sales record set in July 2020.

Closed sales in July 2021 were 4,041, down 9.9% from 4,486 in July 2020.

Active Listings in July 2021 were 3,294, down 38.0% from 5,309 in July 2020.
