Exclusive: March Downtown Condo Sales Disappoint

towers staff April 27, 2009 Comment

We’ve updated the AustinTowers Downtown Condo Market Index for March and the news is not good. While month-by-month results fluctuate wildly, March saw a drop of 71% in the number of units sold — from 14 units last March to just 4 this March. For the first quarter of 2009, sales dropped from 25 units sold in 2008 to 14 units sold in 2009.

Needless to say, March of 2008 was a very strong month. Amazingly enough, it wasn’t a new project that drove last year’s volume: sales during the month included 14 units in 11 projects including Milago, 5 Fifty Five, Brazos Place, Westgate, Railyard, Sabine, and the Brown building.

During the same period, Inventory dropped from 187 units to 183 units with an average listing price of $613K.
