How many new homes did buyers close on in Austin this month? Forty-eight single-family homes built within the last two years changed hands in October 2026, representing a drop from the 73 new-construction closings seen in September.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the sales data to identify which neighborhoods are currently leading the new-home market. The ranking focuses on subdivisions where at least five new homes sold during the period. While specific subdivision names for new construction were not individually flagged in the aggregate data, the volume of 48 closings highlights active development zones across the city.
This figure compares to 72 new-construction sales in October 2025 and 73 in September 2026. The median price for these newer homes was $580,000, with a median price per square foot of $272.61. Buyers are finding that new construction remains a significant portion of the market, though activity has cooled slightly from the summer peak.
The data shows that while overall sales volume dipped 13% from September, the presence of nearly 50 new home closings indicates sustained demand in specific development areas. These neighborhoods continue to offer inventory for buyers seeking recent builds, distinct from the existing stock where median prices also saw a 3.9% decline month-over-month.
The analysis confirms that new construction remains a key driver of Austin's housing activity, even as the broader market adjusts to current conditions.
