This data blackout has left markets and the Fed flying blind, amplifying the impact of private-sector indicators like ADP’s weak employment numbers.

Sellers received 90.9% of their list price in Austin, down from 92% last year, while metro sellers averaged 91.6%, compared to 92.8% in 2024.Overall, the September data indicates continued balance across the Austin-area housing market, with gradual changes in pricing, listing activity, and time on market consistent with seasonal patterns typically seen as activity tapers in the fall and inventory levels adjust ahead of the year’s end.The Austin Business Journal recently highlighted the metro’s continued economic strength, noting that the unemployment rate rose slightly to 3.9% in August but remains well below both the Texas (4.7%) and U.S. (4.5%) rates.

For those who were active in 2008-2012, what early indicators told you it was time to start buying aggressively again, and do you see any of those signals forming now? 

It is an one of many indicators and I actually used other data on the report more than the score itself.

Corby basically is indicating to start in your local market which is basically what this post is saying but with referencing examples and experience.Just over a year ago I rehabbed a unit with after ARV of over $2k PSF.

🙌You’re totally right — tools like Qualtrics/SurveyMonkey and SEMrush/SpyFu are powerful, but I’ve mostly seen them used for marketing/consumer research rather than for real estate investing decisions.That’s what I keep bumping into: plenty of great general platforms, but nothing that brings together real estate–specific data points like:• Voucher demand or housing authority activity (for S8)• Days on market for rentals in a micro-neighborhood• Vacancy + “desirability” indicators (crime/schools)Out of curiosity — if there were a tool that gave you that kind of “plug in an address → get all the market intelligence” insight in one place, what data would be the most valuable for you personally?

Before the tax benefits, that is fairly close to lifetime S&P, but add the tax benefits and residential RE historically has produced the better return.Note past performance is not necessarily and indicator of future performance.I invite anyone to look at these numbers.Best wishes

The online lists I have found all seem outdated and indicate that there are none in the local area.
