Here is the latest information as to month on month comparison for the Austin real estate market.  As I mentioned in the review of July's statistics, we are still seeing a slight leveling on pricing (compared to the 15% month on month we saw in the Spring months) which I would project will continue through the remainder of the year.  This provides an optimal time for buyers to buy a home before the run-up in pricing I expect once we get to 2007.
