So what is going on in our market right now? Independence Title's Mark Sprague chimes in with what to expect (Hint: we are doing OK). This confirms what I have been saying all along: the fundamentals are still strong in Central Texas. Jobs growth means we have more jobs than people, and more people than homes. That is a recipe for price appreciation. Interest rates are dampening enthusiasm right now, but we are still in a strong seller's market. Take a look:

Multiple offers are back. Sure, inventory is up to 12 weeks (as opposed to 6 weeks this time last year), but that is still a STRONG seller's market. After a short hiatus in 4Q2022, price pressure is back to pushing upward, but in a more sustainable fashion than the past two years.
