Can a buyer afford an entry-level home in Round Rock right now? The median price for the bottom quartile of sales reached $405,000 across 142 closed transactions in September. At a current mortgage rate of 7.32%, the monthly principal and interest payment on a typical entry-level purchase is $2,226. ALEX Intelligence applied an affordability model to these figures to determine what buyers need to qualify. This calculation uses the median sale price of $405,000 and assumes a standard 30-year fixed loan at the current rate. The result shows that while prices have risen 6.1% compared to September 2025, the higher interest rates significantly impact monthly cash flow for first-time buyers targeting this segment. The data also reveals that homes in this price range are selling slightly slower than last year, with median days on market at 42 days compared to 58 days a year ago. However, the share of homes selling below original list price has increased, suggesting some negotiation room remains for qualified buyers. For those considering a buydown, a 3-2-1 buydown would cost approximately $15,096 upfront, reducing the initial payment to $1,607 in the first year. A 2-1 buydown would cost about $7,668, lowering the first-year payment to $1,803. These tools can temporarily improve affordability but require significant cash reserves at closing. The market for entry-level homes remains active, with 142 sales in September alone. Buyers should focus on properties priced near the median of this segment to maximize their purchasing power given current financing costs. Want to see this home?
