Austin Home Occupancy

Austin Home Occupancy

Home sales in Austin: Spring is happening to the real estate market, and buyers are back on the prowl for homes before the school holidays and the weather starts to get too warm to go home shopping.

Do homes sell better vacant or occupied?

A quick look at the active listings in Austin shows that 46.5% of the homes are vacant. 41.8% are occupied by the owner with the rest being occupied by tenants.

Whether your home will be easier to sell vacant or occupied depends on your situation, and is best answered by a real estate professional.

If close to half of all homes are vacant, where are all the owners? They could have relocated, or be new construction. Or they may simply have moved to a new home or into rental property.
