Southeast Austin Median Price Holds Steady in September

What does it mean for buyers and sellers when the median price in Southeast Austin holds steady while homes sell faster? In September, 77 properties closed at a median of $369,990. This figure represents a 2.9% increase compared to the same month last year, even though prices dipped slightly by 0.9% from August. The market is showing resilience with a median price per square foot of $206, which is up 0.5% from the prior month but down 5.1% from September 2025. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the transaction data to track how quickly homes are moving. Properties spent a median of 65 days on the market, a significant improvement compared to August and last year. The median days on market dropped by 9.7% from the prior period and fell 7.1% compared to the same month last year. This speed suggests that well-priced inventory is attracting serious buyers despite higher mortgage rates. The current rate stands at 7.32%, according to Freddie Mac data from late October. The relationship between list price and final sale price also shifted slightly. Homes sold for a median of 93.6% of their original list price, up 0.6% from the previous month. This indicates that while most sales still come in below asking, the gap is narrowing compared to last year when homes sold for 92% of the list price. With 77 closed sales providing a robust sample size, this snapshot reflects a market where time on market is shrinking and prices are stabilizing at a level accessible to many buyers.
