"Renewed buyer confidence and steady prices mark a healthy, seasonal market"

According to September sales data gathered from Unlock MLS, one of our MLS providers, closed sales rose 6.7% year over year to 2,416 sales in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA, ending the third quarter with its strongest sales growth of 2025. Coupled with a 1.8% decrease in the median sales price to $420,000, the data reflects sustained activity through late summer and early fall, pointing to renewed buyer confidence and continued market balance as prices follow typical seasonality.

"How Mortgage Rates are Set"

The Fed's bank rate effects short term borrowing, like credit cards and car loans. The Fed doesn’t directly set mortgage rates. Instead, they’re influenced by several factors, from the Fed’s interest rate policy decisions to bond market investors’ expectations for the economy and inflation.

Mortgage rates generally follow the trajectory of the 10-year Treasury yield, which lenders use as a guide to pricing home loans.

The key to lower mortgage rates will be decreasing inflation and a steady but not overheated job market.

"I had a blast on my annual Colorado motorcycle ride"

I traveled 2,500 miles during my four night solo motorcycle run through Texas, New Mexico, Southwest Colorado and all points between. This trip always provides extreme weather conditions, solitude, beautiful scenery, a connection between man and bike and feeds my soul. I rode 5 days averaging ten hours per day; I love to ride. And C.J. had some peace and quiet also!

We have been in the real estate business for over 35 years each, and still honored every time we receive a personal referral, or a testimonial like this one.
