    for homeowners and investors.
  • 0:05 - 0:08
    Over the years, Austin's

    rapid growth, driven by an influx

  • 0:12 - 0:14
    and a burgeoning population.
  • 0:14 - 0:19
    In 2024, the housing market
    in Austin continues to show resilience,
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    even as the broader nationwide
    housing market faces
  • 0:22 - 0:27
    an adjustment period due to fluctuating
    interest rates and economic uncertainty.
  • 0:29 - 0:33
    Austin is still one of the fastest
    growing cities in the United States.
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    The population continues to grow
    due to both domestic
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    and international migration.
  • 0:38 - 0:41
    The city's reputation as a tech hub,
    with major employers
  • 0:41 - 0:46
    like Apple, Tesla, and Oracle
    establishing or expanding their presence,
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    has made Austin attractive to talent.
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    In 2024, the demand for housing is strong
    due to continued in-migration,
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    especially from cities like San Francisco,
    Los Angeles, and New York,
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    where the cost of living
    is significantly higher.
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    Many of these new residents
    bring purchasing power,
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    which contributes to sustained demand
    for real estate.
  • 1:07 - 1:11
    As we look ahead to 2025,
    Austin's real estate market
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    is expected to continue
    its upward trajectory,
  • 1:14 - 1:18
    though some key factors could shape
    the market's dynamics in the coming year.
  • 1:18 - 1:23
    In 2025, one of the most important factors
    affecting the real estate market
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    will be the Federal Reserve's
    approach to interest rates.
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    If interest rates continue to rise,
    as many economists predict,
  • 1:30 - 1:34
    this could slow down the market
    by reducing affordability even further.
  • 1:34 - 1:38
    Higher mortgage rates will make it harder
    for buyers to qualify for loans,
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    potentially leading
    to a decrease in demand for housing.
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    However, despite higher rates,
    Austin's desirable location
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    and strong job market
    will keep the market competitive.
  • 1:49 - 1:53
    The real estate market in Austin, Texas
    remains robust in 2024,
  • 1:53 - 1:57
    driven by strong population growth,
    a thriving tech sector,
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    and limited housing inventory.
  • 2:00 - 2:03
    While rising interest rates
    have created affordability challenges,
  • 2:03 - 2:07
    the demand for housing remains high,
    both in the city
  • 2:07 - 2:08
    and its expanding suburbs.
  • 2:09 - 2:13
    Looking ahead to 2025,
    the market is expected to continue growing
  • 2:13 - 2:16
    albeit at a potentially slower pace
    due to economic factors
  • 2:16 - 2:18
    such as interest rates and inflation.
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    Suburban growth, new construction,
    and the strong rental market
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    will continue to define Austin's
    real estate landscape
  • 2:25 - 2:29
    as the city navigates its next phase
