This figure represents the lowest 25% of transactions by price in the city during the month. ALEX Intelligence analyzed this segment using current financing data to determine affordability. With a 30-year fixed mortgage rate at 7.4% as of October 8, 2026, a buyer purchasing an entry-level home with a 20% down payment faces a principal and interest payment based on the median sale price of $462,190, which is $2,560 per month. The data shows that 82.9% of these homes sold below their original list price, indicating room for negotiation even at the lower end of the market. While the median days on market has dropped to 46 days compared to 62 days last year, entry-level inventory remains competitive. The sample size of 111 closed sales provides a robust view of current affordability conditions in Leander. This analysis uses a standard payment-to-price index based on the bottom quartile of sales and current market rates. It does not account for taxes, insurance, or HOA fees, which vary by property.
