Austin-Area Activity Index

Our Activity Index for Cities offers a comprehensive snapshot of the real estate market in 30 Central Texas cities. Updated three times a week, the index calculates the absorption ratio by dividing the number of pending properties by the total of active and pending properties. This valuable metric helps buyers and sellers gauge market conditions, with an index above 25% indicating a healthy market with around 4 months of inventory. A reading below 15% signals a cooler market, while below 10% suggests a cold market. In contrast, an index over 50% signifies a sellers market, and over 75% indicates an extremely hot sellers market.

How to interpret the Activity Index?

Here's a simple breakdown of the Activity Index and its implications:

Less than 15%: Cooler market – Indicates a slower-paced market, with more supply than demand. Buyers may have more bargaining power, and sellers may need to be more competitive with their pricing.
Less than 10%: Cold market – Represents a challenging market for sellers, with an abundance of inventory and reduced buyer interest. Price reductions and longer time on the market may be necessary.
Over 25%: Healthy market – A balanced market with a steady pace of sales and around 4 months of inventory. Buyers and sellers can expect a more predictable experience.
Over 50%: Great market – High demand and limited inventory create a favorable environment for sellers, who can expect quicker sales and potentially multiple offers.
Over 75%: Extremely hot market – An exceptionally strong market, with homes selling rapidly and often above the asking price. Buyers may face fierce competition, and sellers can capitalize on the high demand.
100%: No active homes on the market – All properties are pending, indicating extreme demand and a shortage of available inventory.
