Real estate industry expert, Chris Jacobs, has an interesting analysis that predicts a corrected and "normal" housing market in Austin by 2028 without the widely anticipated crash that many have long-predicted. How? By doing exactly what it's already doing, grinding through flat prices, slower sales, and longer days on market.
If prices simply stay flat, or drift slightly, the 2011–2019 trend line, which keeps rising at its historical pace, would naturally catch up to current values by late 2028. Jacobs believes stagnation, not collapse, will get us back on track to normal trends. Could we see some stability in the housing market in 2028?
