ABOR Region vs. Neighbors: September Market Benchmarks

The Unlock MLS region median price reached $419,370 in September, a 3.5% increase from August and 2.3% higher than the same month last year across 2,469 closed sales. This regional benchmark serves as the baseline for comparing performance against specific cities and counties within the footprint. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the current month's metrics alongside peer data to establish a comparative matrix. The region saw median days on market rise to 56 days, up 21.7% from August but down 3.4% compared to September 2025. The ratio of final sale price to original list price settled at 94.1%, indicating that 83.3% of homes sold below their initial asking price. When comparing this regional aggregate to specific peer pages, the data reveals distinct local dynamics. For instance, while the region averages a median price per square foot of $208, individual markets like Kyle or Dripping Springs may deviate significantly based on their unique inventory mix and age profiles. The supply gap remains evident with 3,982 new listings added against 2,469 closings, suggesting continued pressure on inventory levels despite the price appreciation. The benchmark data also highlights that 15.2% fewer sales occurred in September compared to the prior year, even as prices climbed. This divergence suggests a market where demand remains concentrated at specific price points or locations, driving up values while overall transaction volume contracts. Buyers and sellers should view these regional averages as a starting point for understanding local conditions rather than a universal rule for every neighborhood. Want these numbers for your street?
