Austin Named #7 on "Hottest Markets for 2009" List

I was excited to see that Austin was named #7 on HousingPredictor.com's latest list: "Hottest Buyers Markets in 2009". Housing Predictor provides independent real estate forecasts.

Austin seems to be on this type of list perenially, but I know that this month is my best income month (and my busiest) since 2007, which is certainly exciting and perhaps gives more credence to this data.

The combination of low interest rates, first-time homebuyer incentives, and the advent of the traditional sales season has made things really busy around here for us lately.

According to the article:

The Hottest Markets in 2009 represent areas of the country where there is stronger employment, prospects of growth and promises of prosperity. They represent exceptions in a cascade of deflationary housing markets that are projected to appreciate, despite an economy that has years to fully turn around.

Here's the full article along with the list if you're interested:

Austin sure seems to be on the top of a lot of lists. I'm gonna go see where we landed on the web site you checked.

Best Income month since 2007? You've got to be kidding. Maybe I should consider relocating to Austin! I know who I'd use as my realtor.

Lisa - Yes, we really do! Thanks for stopping by, my friend. I hope you're doing well.

Leah - Yep. Best month in awhile.

That must be really encouraging AND flattering....gorgeous pic of the Colorado?

Liz - Indeed. That picture of Lake Austin (lower Colorado River) was taken from Mount Bonnell. Did you go there during your visit? If not, I'll take you there when you return to Austin.

Jason - I love the picture and if Autin is this pretty no wonder people are moving there. I'm going to check out my area on the list.

Jason, I've experienced a pick-up too. There are always great things reported about Austin in publications and on Web sites that track housing trends.

Jason,

What's encouraging is that at least some markets are thriving and that gives everybody hope for a better future. May be one day Las Vegas makes that list.
