Austin saw 103 new-construction homes close in September across the city, representing a shift toward newer inventory as buyers seek modern features and energy efficiency. ALEX Intelligence analyzed recent closings to identify the five subdivisions with the highest volume of new-home sales, defined here as properties built within the last two years. The top five neighborhoods by new-construction activity were Easton Park, Steiner Ranch, Circle C Ranch, Mueller, and Belterra. These areas accounted for a significant portion of the 103 new builds that closed in September, with Easton Park leading the pack. The median sale price across these new homes was $571,479, reflecting the premium often associated with newer construction in Austin's competitive market. This data highlights where buyers are currently finding new inventory. While the city-wide median days on market for all homes stood at 45 days, new-construction sales in these top subdivisions moved at a pace consistent with overall demand. The presence of multiple active new communities suggests continued builder activity and supply availability in key Austin corridors. ALEX Intelligence identified these neighborhoods by filtering closed sales for properties built in 2024 or 2025, then ranking the resulting subdivisions by transaction count. This method isolates the most active new-construction markets without relying on listing volume alone. The analysis confirms that while new construction represents a specific segment of the market, it remains a vital component of Austin's housing ecosystem, offering distinct options for buyers seeking move-in ready homes. The data reflects 103 closed sales of new construction in September, with sample sizes varying by subdivision but collectively meeting the minimum threshold for this analysis. Shopping in Austin?
