Austin Almost Doubles Luxury Homes Sold this Year

Austin’s luxury homes market – homes sold for over $1 million – is starting to show marked contrast to the luxury market of 2012. 2013 has almost doubled the number of luxury homes sold, with 12 homes selling from January 1 to February 14 in 2012 and 22 homes selling by 2/14 in 2013. The median sold price of homes sold to that date this year was $1,324,950, with a median sold price per square foot of $309.30.

Perhaps even more remarkable is that there were 54 luxury homes “pending” as of 2/14. This lends itself to an even larger number of luxury homes selling/closing in Austin in February and March, further eclipsing 2012 sales.

Popular luxury home areas in Austin include Westlake and the homes along Lake Austin, homes where students attend schools in the Eanes Independent School District, and centrally located homes and high-rise condominiums. Some of Austin’s luxury homes even classify as mansions.

January 2013 more than doubles January 2012

In January 2013, there were 16 luxury homes sold, compared to seven luxury homes sold in January 2012.

January 2013

• 16 sold
• Median sold price $1,461,500
• Median price per square foot $289.30

January 2012

• 7 sold
• Median sold price $1,350,000
• Median price per square foot $267.5

Comparing the two months year-to-year: quantity sold, median sold price, and median price per square foot all have increased.
