In April, 12 resale homes closed in Steiner Ranch which was down 33% from April 2022. The median price in April decreased 30% to $890,168. The average price of a home decreased 22% to $1,006,611. The average price per square foot decreased by 14% to $327.97. While that median price decline is large, it actually is the highest price since last August. But I think it’s higher than what I’m observing in the market. Of the 12 homes, four were high-end gated homes which I believe skewed this month’s numbers. So let’s look at the six month comparison. The number of resale homes sold during the past six months is 67, down 28% from this same time frame the year prior. The median price of a home has decreased 17% to $760,000. The average price decreased by 19% to $879,541. The average price per square foot decreased 11% to $289.59. Even looking at six months, the number of homes sold is small so the pricing data can get skewed. I believe that we are following the broader Austin market and seeing prices stabilize at this point. I’d peg the median price in the low $800s. Again, while Steiner is a big neighborhood, there simply aren’t enough sales each month to always give us a good representation of the neighborhood home so it’s hard to pin down an exact median price. Statistically, of course, we have those numbers which I present to you, but they don’t always correspond to the market overall. The number of available resale homes at the end of April was 40, up 150% from last April. The number of homes put on the market in April was 23, down 30% from last April. Remember that the number of homes that closed was down 33% this month. So we have fewer homes being offered for sale, fewer of those homes selling, which results in more homes available at a given time. But historically, having 40 houses on the market in April is a low number so that is helping give support to pricing. If you are a buyer, you certainly have more choices than the last two years, but likely only have a handful of homes that meet a given criteria. Across Steiner, the April sales ranged from a low of $600,000 to a high of $1,920,000. The average sales price to list price ratio was 97.0% and for homes that closed in April, the average days on market was 40 up from 21 last April.

Last month, a total of 20 homes went under contract compared to 25 in 2022. The 20 matches the highest number since August of last year. Having a higher number of contracts at this time of year is unusual, but I do think this spring market is shaping up to be weaker than usual. And by usual, I mean before 2020. On the positive side, interest rates have been pretty consistent around 6.5% for a 30-year mortgage for more than a month. You’ll recall that they peaked over 7% last fall. Overall, it looks like we may watching the real estate market level out, but we’ll need more time to know for sure.
