Single-family home sales steadily grew across the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area, but saw a decline in the city of Austin for the first half of the year. While the market continues to grow due to strong demand, Austin’s limited housing inventory and increasing prices are pushing people further into the suburbs.
