Round Rock August Market Recap: Sales Drop, Prices Soften

Round Rock saw 120 closed sales in August, a significant drop of 33% compared to the previous month and 30.6% lower than August 2025. The median closing price settled at $390,000, reflecting a 6% decrease from July and a 6.7% decline year-over-year. This marks the second consecutive month of price softness in the city. Market activity slowed considerably as new listings dropped to 134 from 169 the prior month. Despite fewer sales, the median days on market remained steady at 30 days, matching July but lower than the 36 days recorded last year. The list-to-sale price ratio held at 96.4%, with 71.7% of homes selling below their original asking price. Inventory levels remain elevated with 659 active listings, resulting in 3.85 months of supply. This volume suggests a balanced market where buyers have more options than sellers. New construction accounted for 13 closed sales, down from 15 in July and 30 in the same period last year. The ALEX Intelligence executive summary aggregates these KPIs to show a cooling cycle. While transaction volume has contracted sharply, price stability is evident as the median price per square foot fell only 2.5% month-over-month to $197. The data indicates a market adjusting to higher inventory levels without a sharp crash in valuations. Planning a move from Round Rock? Get your home's value and the right list price, free.
