Home Prices Are Rising in 80% of Markets

Still waiting for home prices to come down? That's becoming less likely. Home prices are now rising in 80% of housing markets. That’s up from 71% last quarter. In other words, more markets are seeing prices go up — not down. Before you put your plans on hold, let's look at what's happening in our market. Waiting may not save you as much as you think.

Good news for Austin — the office market is healing. 🏢

Slowly. Like a pulled hamstring on a Monday morning. But still — healing.

Here's the quick version per Colliers' Q2 2026 report:

✅ Office vacancy dropped to 20.6% — down from 21.2% last quarter

✅ Net absorption hit 735,000 square feet — positive for the 4th consecutive quarter

✅ New construction pipeline down to just 459,000 SF — lowest in years

Less supply coming. Demand ticking up. Companies planting roots in Austin.

And here's the residential angle nobody's talking about:

When companies commit to Austin — people follow. People following means housing demand. Housing demand means upward pressure on home values in the neighborhoods around those jobs.

The office is filling back up, Austin. Somebody's going to need somewhere to live.

Let's make sure it's near you. 🏡

Apollo Global Management just chose Austin. 🏦🤠

One of the world's largest alternative asset managers — a firm overseeing hundreds of billions in global assets — looked at every major city in America and picked Austin for its new strategic hub.

Governor Abbott called Texas "the new financial capital of America" — and Apollo CEO Marc Rowan cited Austin's talent, technology, and business environment as the reason for the move.

For the real estate translation: high-paying financial sector jobs don't exist in a vacuum. Those employees need homes. Good ones. And they tend to have the budgets to find them.

Every major corporate announcement like this adds another layer of demand to the Austin housing market — across downtown condos, South Austin neighborhoods, Westlake estates, and suburban communities throughout the metro.

Turns out finance people also need kitchens and garages. Shocking, we know.

Austin keeps getting chosen by the biggest names in the world. At some point — maybe it's your turn too. 🏡

Don’t Try To Time the Housing Market

Torn between buying a home now or holding out for the perfect moment? Trying to time the market rarely works. Rates, prices, inflation… These variables are all beyond your control. So, if you want or need to move, focus on your numbers instead. Because… “Ultimately, whether it’s a good time to buy comes down to your personal financial readiness.” If the math works, you can move. It’s that simple. Let’s chat if you want help thinking it over. No pressure, just perspective.

This one's personal. 🎸🌿

Shady Grove on Barton Springs Road was a South Austin institution. It closed in 2020. And for those of us who lived nearby — that stung.

I spent more Thursday nights than I can count at KGSR's Unplugged at the Grove — free live music on that patio, under the pecan trees, right in the heart of 78704. Some of the best nights this city ever gave me.

So when I say this news hit different — I mean it.

A Little Shady opens August 4th in Kyle — run by Rusty Zagst, who started as a busboy at Shady Grove in 1993 and managed it until it closed. He's bringing back the green chile cheese fries, the Hippie Chick sandwich, the Shady Thang frozen margarita — and there's a vintage KGSR sign on the wall.

They had me at the KGSR sign.

Real estate angle? When beloved Austin brands choose Kyle — that's not random. Kyle is where the people are going — and the people tend to bring the home values with them.

I'll be there August 4th. Probably crying into a Shady Thang margarita.

The pecan trees are gone. But the green chile cheese fries are coming back. South Austin endures. 🏡

So — you guys know about the Dog's Head development in Austin, right? 🐾🏗️

Here's the quick version:

Austin just annexed 2,600 acres of land in East Austin — along the Colorado River, just north of the airport — and locked in a 45-year development agreement with Endeavor Real Estate (the group behind The Domain and Southpark Meadows).

And according to reporting from the Austin Business Journal — the Fortune 100 company behind the first 300-acre manufacturing facility on that site?

Amazon. 🛒

When one of the world's largest companies chooses your city for a major manufacturing operation — that's not just economic news. That's a real estate signal.

Major employment anchors drive housing demand, infrastructure investment, and upward pressure on home values in every direction around them. East Austin was already one of Austin's most dynamic submarkets. The Dog's Head just added a generational tailwind to that story.

Amazon chose Austin. Maybe it's time you did too. 🏡

Questions about what this means for your neighborhood or your next purchase? We'd love to talk.
