Round Rock: Median Prices Drop 6% in August

Round Rock home prices dipped 6% in August compared to July, with the median closing price settling at $390,000 across 120 closed sales. This marks a 6.7% decline from the same month last year when the median was $418,000. While the number of homes sold dropped sharply by 33% from July's 179 closings, the time it took to sell a home remained steady at 30 days on average, which is 16.7% faster than the 36 days recorded in August 2025. Buyers found more negotiating power as the share of homes selling below original list price fell slightly to 71.7%, though this remains high compared to historical norms. The median price per square foot also decreased by 4.8% year-over-year to $197, reflecting a shift toward smaller average home sizes, which dropped to 2,078 square feet from 2,176 last year.
