Tessa Lauritzen Osborn
Born and raised in Austin, Tessa Lauritzen has a love for all things local. Her lifelong experience of the city has afforded her a rich tapestry of knowledge of Austin’s communities and people. Her independence and ambition were stoked early on by her entrepreneur-father, who started and grew his music management company in Austin. The importance of supporting homegrown businesses is a value she practices in earnest.
Along with her local expertise, Tessa brings a flair for details and a genuine passion for her work as an assistant to Meredith Alderson. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies with an emphasis on corporate communications and a minor in business. In addition to her studies, she served as Public Relations chair, organized events, and ran social media for her college sorority.
With an appreciation for architecture and interior design and a service-oriented personality, a career in real estate felt precisely right for Tessa. She was bitten by the real estate bug after playing an integral part in real estate transactions for her parents over the past several years. She enjoys connecting with a diverse array of people in her work for clients. Nothing is more important than helping a client find a property they love. Tessa is excited to be working with Meredith to help serve their clients in the best way possible.
In her free time, you can find her walking her dog Ralphie around the hike and bike trail, cheering on the Texas Longhorns, and catching some live music at The Mohawk or ACL Live. Her love of music runs deep—she’s attended every Austin City Limits music festival since it started in 2002. Tessa also makes it a point to get to know the “new” Austin, often meeting up with friends to try new restaurants and venues. This Austinite also jumps at the chance to travel somewhere new, now and then.

August 2025 Market Stats are in!
Pending sales jumped 8.2% in August — the fourth straight month of year-over-year growth — showing that buyer activity is on the rise as we head into fall. The median home price held steady at $444,490, keeping the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos market healthy and balanced for both buyers and sellers. Active listings are up 13% compared to last year, though inventory is trending slightly lower month-over-month, signaling steady demand.
We’re already seeing buyer activity pick up since news of potential mortgage rate reductions earlier this month, and we expect that momentum to continue into the fall season. Our team has some exciting new listings lined up and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Design Feature: East Austin’s Canyon-Inspired Modern Home
Step inside the Haskell Residence, a modern masterpiece by Minguell-McQuary Architects & Builders. This three-story home bends and flows like a natural formation, with curves, layers, and level changes that mimic canyon walls. Thoughtful design elements — from elevated patios that capture park views to netted indoor hammocks and a rooftop terrace — make every corner a discovery. It’s a home where light, landscape, and architecture come together in perfect harmony.

OPEN HOUSES! Come say HEY at these 2 listings this weekend 🏡
The July stats are in!
As summer winds down, the market is shifting in expected ways - cooling slightly, but still showing strong momentum. Prices are stabilizing, with a modest uptick in the City of Austin and a slight dip across the broader MSA. Sales in the city held steady, while the larger Austin area experienced about an 8% decline. Inventory continues to climb, giving buyers more options, and pending sales are on the rise across the board.
Traditionally, six months of inventory is considered a “balanced” market, but many sellers aren’t experiencing it that way. Buyers are watching closely, often circling homes before making a move…until that standout property comes along and sparks multiple offers. As we head into fall, sales typically take on a more measured pace, yet attractive interest rates and the possibility of a Fed rate cut could reignite buyer activity. If you’re considering a purchase or sale, let’s connect and put a plan in place that works for your goals!
