Mueller vs. Neighbors: Prices and Speed Compared

How does Mueller compare to its neighbors when prices and speed are measured side by side? In the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, the median close price in Mueller reached $847,000 across 68 closed sales. This represents a 2.0% increase compared to the same period last year, while the regional benchmark sat at $405,000 and Travis County at $492,000. Mueller buyers are moving faster than the broader market. Homes sold in just 18 days on average, a 50.0% improvement over the same month last year and significantly quicker than the regional average of 56 days. The price per square foot also outpaced the region, reaching $433 compared to $204 for the Unlock MLS region and $251 for Travis County. Despite the speed, pricing discipline remains tight. 69.1% of homes sold below their original list price, a figure that has improved slightly from last year but remains higher than the regional average of 83.6%. The median close-to-original list ratio stood at 0.976, indicating buyers are negotiating down but not drastically so. ALEX Intelligence compared these metrics against peer pages to establish a benchmark matrix. While Mueller commands a premium price per square foot and faster turnover, the absolute price point remains well above the regional median. The data suggests a market where speed is high, but value retention relative to list price is consistent with broader trends in the Austin area. Current mortgage rates stand at 7.32% according to Freddie Mac data for the week of October 22, 2026. This rate environment continues to influence buyer behavior, as seen in the steady volume of 68 closed sales over the last six months. The market remains active, with new listings rising to 73, helping to balance the inventory against the 69 homes that have closed. Want to see this home?
