Market figures by town

Which school zones are driving the most activity in Central Austin? ALEX Intelligence analyzed recent sales to rank elementary attendance zones by transaction volume rather than test scores or quality ratings. In October 2026, Mathews Elementary led all zones with 15 closed sales, followed by Bryker Woods and Casis with 13 each. Brentwood recorded 10 transactions, while Highland Park also saw 10 homes sell. These five zones accounted for the highest volume of activity in the area during the month. The median sale price varied significantly across these active zones. Casis led with a median price of $1,700,000, reflecting its position in the higher end of the market. Highland Park followed at $1,151,000, while Brentwood and Mathews both saw medians near $900,000 to $975,000. Bryker Woods matched Mathews at $900,000. This ranking relies on a minimum of five sales per zone to ensure statistical reliability. The data reflects actual market behavior where buyers are transacting, not subjective assessments of educational quality. For Central Austin, these zones represent the most active school attendance areas for homebuyers in October 2026. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
