About Irie
Originally from Denver, I came to Austin and never left. I work with buyers, sellers, and investors across the city — and I take time to actually understand what you're trying to do before I tell you anything.
You deserve someone who reads every line of the contract, flags what matters, and tells you the truth — even when it's not what you want to hear.
I'm part of the Juice Real Estate Group at Compass — Austin's hyper-local team since 2007, backed by Compass's national marketing platform.

Austin's market has stabilized after the 2021–22 surge and correction. Inventory is higher than two years ago — buyers have real choices now. Well-priced homes in strong neighborhoods still move quickly. The median sits around $547K as of early 2026 per Austin Board of REALTORS® data. It's a functioning, rational market — not a frenzy, not a fire sale.
Depends entirely on what you're optimizing for. East Austin and Mueller have the best combination of lifestyle and long-term appreciation for most buyers. Hyde Park and Bouldin Creek have rock-solid fundamentals but limited supply and premium pricing. Domain/North Austin gives you the best entry point with tech-sector rental demand. There's no universal answer — it depends on your budget, timeline, and daily priorities.
The median sale price in Austin is around $547K as of early 2026 per Austin Board of REALTORS® data. Condos and townhomes start closer to $300–350K. Single-family homes in Central Austin typically range $500K–$900K+ depending on neighborhood. Budget an additional 2–3% for closing costs on top of purchase price. All figures are approximate and subject to change.
The reliable way is a comparative market analysis (CMA) from a local agent. Zillow routinely misses by 5–15% in specific Austin neighborhoods because it can't account for condition, lot position, updates, or micro-location factors. I'll run a full CMA at no charge — no obligation, just accurate data.
In Texas, buyer's agent compensation is negotiated as part of each transaction. Having your own representation means someone whose job is specifically to represent your interests. In most transactions I represent buyers at no direct cost to you, and I'll explain exactly how the fee structure works before anything is agreed to.
