Austin’s luxury market is making a comeback 🏡✨

After leading the nation last year for the highest number of days homes spent on the market, Austin’s luxury sector is showing signs of a turnaround. According to recent Redfin data, luxury properties went under contract a median of 57 days this spring— 16 days faster than the same time last year.

The shift is attributed to more realistic pricing from sellers, limited inventory in highly sought-after neighborhoods, and buyers acting quickly on move-in-ready homes. As Austin’s real estate landscape continues to evolve, the city’s high-end market may be entering a new chapter.

Austin’s rental market is booming at record speed 🏙️📈

Austin is not the 3rd fastest-growing renter market in the U.S. and the No. 1 fastest-growing in Texas, with renter-occupied housing jumping 29.9% since 2019. More than 93,000 rental units have been added during that time — the largest increase among the country’s top growth markets.

Driven by new development and continued migration, Austin’s rental boom is attracting everyone from young professionals to retirees looking for flexibility. As new apartments reshape the skyline and neighborhoods continue evolving, Austin remains one of the fastest-changing housing markets in the country. 🙌

Austin’s skyline keeps evolving, and this one is especially exciting for me. 🌆✨

Before moving to Austin, I spent more than a decade selling luxury new construction in NYC, and one of the names that was impossible to miss was Related Company. They’ve been behind some of New York’s most iconic developments, and while I never personally sold one of their projects, I always admired the scale, vision, and impact they had on the city.

Now, seeing Related Company officially break ground on One Lady Bird Lake feels like a full-circle moment. Watching a developer of this caliber invest in Austin is a reminder of just how much national attention our city continues to attract.

The luxury lakefront development along the South Central Waterfront is expected to open in early 2028, and the new renderings offer a glimpse of what will become a major addition to Austin’s waterfront skyline. 🌇

As someone who watched transformative developments reshape neighborhoods in Manhattan, I can’t wait to see the impact this project has on Austin and the future of our waterfront.

What do you think—exciting addition to the skyline or too much change? 👇

Every time my family and I go to Cinnamon Shore, we come home missing it 🥹🌊☀️ We miss the beach days 🏖️, lazy afternoons at the pool 💦, and the sense of community ❤️. There’s something so fun about piling into golf carts 🚙 to head to dinner 🍹🍕, events 🎶, or cruise back and forth to the beach with sandy feet and sun-kissed kids ☀️👣

It’s one of those places where the kids are happy 🪣🐚, parents can actually relax 😌🍹, and memories seem to happen naturally 📸✨

And the best part? It’s only about a 4-hour drive from Austin 🚗 — such an easy family escape.

As a real estate agent, I can’t help but also see the investment side of it 💡🏡 A place people want to come back to over and over again for family memories, vacations, and experiences can be a pretty compelling opportunity too 📈🌴
