Community Impact turns to Central Texas real estate leader for insight on first-time buyers, pricing shifts, and Georgetown market conditions
GEORGETOWN, Texas, June 4, 2026 — Tanya Kerr, founder and team leader of T. Kerr Property Group, was quoted in Community Impact in its June 4, 2026 article, “First-time buyers drive Georgetown’s real estate market,” offering expert insight into the trends shaping Georgetown real estate and the broader Central Texas housing market. The coverage highlights Kerr’s local expertise across Georgetown, Round Rock, Austin, Williamson County, and surrounding communities.

In the article, Community Impact reported that first-time homebuyers are helping drive Georgetown’s market, particularly in the $300,000 to $399,999 price range, while higher interest rates continue to weigh on move-up buyers. The publication also reported that more than a quarter of April home sales across Georgetown’s three area ZIP codes fell in that price band.
Kerr explained that buyers are still active, but they are making more disciplined decisions and refusing to overpay in a market that is correcting rather than collapsing. Community Impact also reported that Georgetown-area sales were up 4.1% year over year through spring 2026, even as median prices remained below prior-year levels.
Suggested quote for approval:
“This kind of coverage matters because it reflects what our clients need most in a shifting market: honest guidance, real local knowledge, and advice grounded in what is actually happening on the ground. Georgetown continues to be a market with real opportunity, but buyers and sellers need strategy, not guesswork.”
The article also noted Kerr’s perspective that first-time buyers are creating movement in the market because they are not locked into the low mortgage rates many current homeowners are reluctant to give up. She told Community Impact that for move-up buyers, the pressure of leaving a lower-rate home has to be strong enough to justify the change.
For clients, the significance is straightforward: when a publication turns to a real estate professional for market analysis, it reflects trust in that professional’s experience, perspective, and understanding of the local market. Kerr’s inclusion in the article reinforces T. Kerr Property Group’s position as a knowledgeable resource for buyers and sellers navigating Georgetown and the surrounding Central Texas communities.
Local market insight clients can use
According to the article, Georgetown’s median home prices opened 2026 lower than prior years and fell to $404,990 in February, compared with roughly $450,000 to $457,000 during the same month in 2024 and 2025. The article also reported that east Georgetown homes sold in about half the time of homes west of I-35, largely due to differences in price point and buyer profile.
That kind of market nuance matters. In neighborhoods and cities where buyer demand, affordability, and competition can vary dramatically from one pocket to another, clients benefit from working with an agent who understands not just the headlines, but the patterns underneath them.
