The September 2024 report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) shows housing prices in Austin and the greater metro remained fairly stable over the past 12 months.

All an agent should do for you is list the property to generate showings => to generate applications, that YOU then screen.Now, they may actually be asking you want screening criteria you want them to advertise, which is fine.Can't answer your question though, without knowing if this is a Class A, B, C or D property - as they will all have different criteria.Here's a sample of some of what we use in our Metro Detroit market:Class A Properties:Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Hello everyone,I'm just starting out in the Atlanta Metro Area and I'm looking to buy my first property in the next 3 - 6 months. 

Ideally, looking for 'standard' contracting for the state that is aligned with local / municipal /state laws pertaining to tenant and landlord regulations.Thank you.Hi Tanya,At the beginning of 2023, I was very close to purchasing an 8-unit deal in Overland Park, which is part of the Kansas City metro area.

If and when they sell, they have to move somewhere (about 72%, the rest rents, goes into assisted living or moves in with family), so inventory-wise wise it's for the most part a wash.The only way you can see the supply/demand situation change is if a market (the US or a metro area) loses a significant percentage of the population (like a pandemic or nuclear incident) or we catch up building 3-5 million homes (surplus of normal), with tales the better part of a decade if we can even find the labor.

Mesa or Gilbert, AZ: A Look at the NumbersFor the Phoenix metro area (including Mesa and Gilbert), the forecasted annual appreciation rate is expected to be around 3.5% over the next 10 years, based on recent trends and projections​.

Our lake is not really a destination place...we do get some people coming from all over the country but they are coming for family reunions, and most people are 2-3 hours away from metro areas (Chicago/Indy/Detroit).  

Lake - I'd advise renting for AT LEAST 6-12 months until you get an understanding of where you want to live in the metro unless you're already familiar with it.
