Offensive Offers Are Back — And In Austin, The Threshold Has Moved
In a buyers market, higher inventory and more motivated sellers shift the point at which an offer is treated as offensive. An offer that would have drawn a flat no in a seller’s market — say, 10% under asking in Austin — is often taken seriously when listings are sitting and sellers are already cutting price.

Who Represents You Matters: Talk to Adam Timothy Group
Austin is not a simple market. A house in Tarrytown doesn’t price like a house in Allandale, even when they look similar on paper. A lot in 78704 can be worth meaningfully more or less than the lot next to it based on whether it’s in a flood plain, what the zoning actually allows, what the survey shows, and how the comp set has moved in the last 60 days. Multiply that across every neighborhood we cover, and the variance gets significant fast.
