Austin Sellers Are Slashing Home Prices at Record Levels. Here’s How to Protect Your Equity When You Need to Move
Austin is moving into a price-cut market. Recent reporting shows several major metros seeing faster, deeper listing price reductions—and Austin is among them, with a meaningful share of homes marked down as inventory rises and days on market stretch.
What this shift means for recent buyers
- More active listings and longer selling timelines increase pressure to cut list prices.
- If you bought in the last five years with limited equity, repeated price drops can push you into bringing cash to close—or taking a loss.
- For many homeowners, the traditional listing route now feels risky, slow, and expensive.
Our solution: Equity Protection Program We Want to Buy Your Home—and many times we can pay your asking price. At Buyers Group of Austin, we’re local private buyers acquiring rentals across the metro. Because we’re long-term holders, we can often structure a purchase that:
- Meets your asking price (case-by-case)
- Covers standard seller closing costs
- Requires no repairs, showings, or open houses
- Closes on your schedule—often 7–21 days
- Runs through a licensed title company for a clean, professional process
Who we help most
- Bought 2020–2025 with little, no, or negative equity
- Can’t cover commissions and closing costs via a traditional sale
- Need certainty due to relocation, payment changes, divorce, or life events
- Prefer an as-is sale without weekends of showings or negotiation
Why sell to us instead of chasing more price cuts
- Certainty: Know your net and your closing date up front.
- Speed: Avoid months on market and surprise concessions.
- Simplicity: Skip repairs, staging, and lowball offers.
How it works
- Free consult: Share your goals, timeline, and property address.
- Review: We analyze rental potential and property details.
- Offer: If it’s a fit, you get a clear written offer—often the same day.
- Close: Pick your date. We handle the paperwork while you move forward.
If your home no longer fits your life—or your budget—you don’t have to be trapped by low equity or pressured into price cuts. Our team has helped many Austin-area homeowners exit cleanly, preserve cash, and start their next chapter with confidence.

*Important notes: Every property and situation is unique; offers are case-dependent and subject to inspection and standard due diligence. Equal Housing Opportunity. All closings are completed with a licensed title company.
