Austin, Texas (PRWEB) May 28, 2013
Regent Property Group analyzed Austin luxury home sales and determined closings are continuing to rise at a rapid pace, as an integral part of an energized Austin real estate market. Sixty-five Austin luxury homes – those listed over $ 1 million – sold in April, compared to 37 in March, for an over 75 percent increase in closed properties. The highest sold price, the average sold price, and the median sold price for the month to month comparison also increased.
In April 2013, the 65 luxury homes that sold had a high sold price of $ 5,860,000 (about $ 703 per square foot,) an average sold price of $ 1,695,232 (about $ 338 per square foot,) and a median sold price of $ 1,444,000 (about $ 308 per square foot.)
Regent Property Group Founder Brian Talley explained that Austins luxury homes include most of the waterfront homes on Lake Austin and many homes within Eanes ISD, as well as some areas of central Austin. Usually the most desired homes in town are Lake Austin frontage properties, but we also have so many beautiful homes throughout the area that buyers have a variety of options to suit their lifestyles, he said.

The average luxury home was listed at $ 2,374,093 (about $ 407 per square foot,) and the median luxury home was listed at $ 1,795,000 (about $ 339 per square foot.)
Year to date (January 1 to May 23, 2013,) 160 luxury homes sold in Austin, with a high sold price of $ 5.86 million (about $ 755 per square foot,) an average sold price of $ 1,568,544 (about $ 317 per square foot,) and a median sold price of $ 1,321,500 (about $ 295 per square foot.)
