Every now and then, a data drop cuts through the noise and tells a story you can’t ignore.

This week, ResiClub Analytics released a report showing 60 housing markets across the U.S. are now seeing year-over-year home price declines, including some big names like Austin, San Antonio, and Tampa. You can read the full article here, but here’s what stood out to me—and what it might mean for you.

“Between March 2024 and March 2025, home prices in Austin dropped 4.6%. San Antonio saw a 2.7% decline. These are some of the sharpest dips in the country.”

Now before anyone sounds the alarm, let’s be clear: this is not 2008. This is what a normalizing market looks like after years of aggressive growth. It’s what happens when more homes hit the market, buyers get rate fatigue, and developers crank up supply in places like Texas and Florida.

But here’s where it gets real:
If you’re selling, pricing your home right the first time is more important than ever. And if you’re buying, this could be a rare window to negotiate with leverage—especially in areas seeing longer days on market or builder incentives.

So what should you do?

If you’re thinking about listing your home in the Lake Travis, Spicewood, or Bee Cave area, don’t guess. Let’s look at the comps, study what’s moving fast, and price it to win the attention of today’s buyer.

If you’re a buyer sitting on the sidelines, I’ll show you which markets are softening, where sellers are blinking first, and how to step in before rates or inventory shift again.

Let’s make this market work for you.

I track this stuff daily so you don’t have to. And I don’t just share headlines—I turn them into strategy.
