Now that it is open and available for occupancy, the 240 unit Milago is completely sold out. Despite the fact that all units have been purchased, it is curious to see 30 units — 1 / 8th of the building — currently listed on MLS. While some could be from people whose plans have changed between when they signed the contract and now, the most likely option is condo flippers.
It will be interesting to see what happens. While the Austin market increased by 5% last year, this is hardly the sort of growth that gets flippers excited. Now, with 30 units competing for buyers, it will be interesting to see how fast they turn and whether prices increase as the market strengthens.
