The numbers are in again for this week.  We are seeing fewer homes coming on the market (good news for sellers) but still fewer homes selling this week as compared to the same week last year.  Since we are past mother's day we should see good traffic this weekend.  Once we get past memorial day we will not have many excuses for slow traffic so if we are not getting the amount of traffic we thought we would get it means that the buyers and their agents are rejecting your property before they ever see it.  There are always exceptions to this idea but it is usually more right than wrong. 

Austin continues to be one of the best markets in the country in terms of days on the market.  What I see is that homes that sell now are the ones that are fresh on the market that are priced in the right range and show extremely well.  These homes are moving in 2-4 weeks on the market.  Other homes that are not selling are sitting on the market for 4-6 months until the sellers give up on the first Realtor due to the market shift.  So the moral of the story is to try to be the best showing and best priced home compared to your competition and you'll be the next home to sell.
