May 5, 2026 | Driving It Home with Unlock MLS

The affordable market isn't gone - it's moved. Vaike O'Grady kicks things off with a zip-code-level breakdown of where sub-$300K sales are happening in Central Texas right now (Kyle, Jarrell, Elgin, and a few surprises). Then Emily sits down with Taylor Smith, Deputy Director of Government Affairs, to dig into Unlock MLS and ABoR's brand-new HOME Impact Report — measuring whether Austin's landmark housing reform is actually working. Spoiler: the data says yes. Plus, what agents need to know about upcoming City Council action and how to tap into the advocacy team directly. Mentioned in the episode: Unlock MLS Research Page + HOME Impact Report https://www.unlockmls.com/researchAdvocacy Office Hours — May 20th, ABoR HQ, 10AM–1PM  https://www.unlockmls.com/event/abor-advocacy-office-hours Live from City Hall Newsletter https://www.abor.com/livefromcityhall
