Austin Market Update — October 2025

It’s been a wild ride this year in Austin real estate.

After one of the slowest third quarters we’ve seen in over a decade, the numbers are finally starting to tell a different story — one that’s full of opportunity heading into Q4.

Inventory is high, sellers are more willing to negotiate, and buyers are beginning to re-enter the market as rates stabilize.

We’re seeing early signs that we may be at or near the bottom of this correction — and history shows that’s where smart buyers and sellers make their moves.

For buyers, this could be one of the best windows we’ve seen in years to find real value before the spring rush hits.

For sellers, fewer competing listings and more active buyers could mean a smoother path to your next chapter.

As I said in the video — you can’t time the market perfectly, but you can understand it.

And right now, the numbers are showing signs of life again.

Let’s finish 2025 strong.

Stop Hiding in Plain Sight: Build a Real Estate Business You’re Proud Of

Too many agents hide in plain sight — people kind of know you’re in real estate, but you’re not consistently showing up, proving your value, or asking for business. In today’s episode, we’re tackling the fundamentals that will make your business strong, profitable, and sustainable for years to come.

Here’s what we cover:
✅ Why your database is the foundation of your business (and how to build your “Top 100”)
✅ The 3 things clients want most: respect, ease, and value
✅ Why you need a Google My Business profile (and how reviews fuel growth)
✅ How to stay visible in your “flight path” — and turn everyday connections into conversations
✅ The daily social media cadence (3 posts a day: personal, business, inspirational)
✅ Tools, apps, and influencers worth following to sharpen your skills and mindset
✅ How to leverage CRMs, market reports, and AI without losing your human voice
✅ The golden rule: 2 appointments a week + asking for business every single time

Real estate isn’t about gimmicks or hiding behind “commission breath.” It’s about consistency, visibility, and being a trusted professional who brings value every day. If you do the basics right — database, marketing cadence, social media, conversations, and appointments — you can absolutely build a business you love and a life you deserve.

How to Clean Up Your Database, Build Real Relationships, and Book More Appointments

This episode dives deep into one of the most overlooked but most important systems in real estate: your database. From downloading contacts into CSV files, cleaning up duplicates, and setting a clear goal to finish the job—this is the foundational work that frees you from the anxiety of “someday I’ll fix it.”

You’ll also learn how to:
✅ Preview homes strategically and share valuable content on social media
✅ Connect with your sphere on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn (without being salesy)
✅ Use email the right way—including the simple but powerful “Deal of the Week” method
✅ Stay consistent with daily and weekly goals (like aiming for 2 appointments a week)
✅ Leverage conversations, referrals, and small actions that compound into big results

This is about more than technology—it’s about building habits, creating systems, and showing up like a professional every day. If you’re a real estate agent looking to simplify your business and scale your income, this episode is for you.
