Absorption Rate and Market Demand Analysis
Welcome to the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of Austin’s real estate market demand, segmented by price range and visualized through color-coded absorption rates. This page gives buyers, sellers, and investors critical insights into the real-time competitiveness of different property price points. Using absorption rate data, you can quickly identify where the market is favoring sellers or buyers, helping you make informed decisions. Absorption Rate (Monthly Estimate) = (Number of Sold Listings in Past 30 Days / Number of Active Listings) x 100. This will give you a percentage. If 30 listings that sold in the past 30 days and 60 active, the Absorption Ratio will be 50%. This means that, based on the past 30 days, 50% of the active listings in that price range are selling each month.
