Is the Austin Market getting worse??

Cindy Greenwood answered:
Based on a recent economic summary by the Chamber of Commerce the Austin market is still going strong. Please see the following market updates:
2008 Mid Year Economic Summary
• In the past 10 years, Austin’s population has increased by 487,000
• 1,000 persons per week are moving to Austin MSA
• By the year 2030, Austin’s MSA population is predicted to be 35 million
• Williamson county has increased by 53% since 2004
• Williamson county population is expected to be 1 million by 2030
• 20% of jobs in Austin require a Bachelor’s Degree
• 42% of workers have a Bachelor’s Degree
• Professional/ Business Services have added the most jobs in the last 12 months
• Since 2000 Austin MSA has experienced approx 14% decline in Hi Tech jobs
• Hi Tech compensation has declined 7% since 2000. Private sector wages have increased 6%
• There are approx 3000 Hi Tech companies within the Austin MSA which comprise 33% of payroll
• The average income for Hi Tech workers is $80K
• Residential building permits peaked in 2005
• Austin had an average of 4 months inventory of residential properties available for purchase in 2007. In 2008, this number has increased to 4.7 months. The nationwide average is 6 months, so Austin is below the average in respect to residential inventory.

What are good questions to ask a buyer's agent?

Cindy Greenwood answered:
The following questions are key in hiring a real estate professional:
1. Are you a full-time realtor?
2. How long have you worked in real estate?
3. What areas do you specialize in?
4. Do you have an in-office staff?
5. Can you provide references and or testimonials?
6. How many buyers have you represented in the last year to buy a home?
7. How much of your business is based on referrals?
8. Do you have any special designations?
9. What obstacles have you overcome in past experiences regarding real estate?
10. What is the benefit of having a buyer representation agreement?
11. What are your negotiation skills?

Most important- make sure you are comfortable and confident in who you hire to represent your best interest.
