AUSTIN, TX — According to the Austin Board of REALTORS® May 2022 Central Texas Housing Market Report, active listings experienced triple-digit percentage growth year over year and inventory rose to over one month of inventory for the first time in seven months. The data indicates the market is calming as typical seasonality is returning in terms of the number of closings, even as sales dollar volume sustained a positive lift.
