North Austin: How Close to List Price Did Homes Sell?

In North Austin, homes sold for 94.8% of their original asking price last month, a figure that reflects how buyers and sellers are negotiating in the current market. This median close-to-original list ratio is calculated by dividing the final sale price by the initial list price for each transaction and averaging the results across all closed sales. The data shows a clear trend: homes are closing closer to their original list prices compared to both last month and the same time last year. The ratio rose 1.2% from August, when it stood at 93.7%, and is up 2.7% compared to September 2025, when it was 92.3%. This improvement suggests that sellers are receiving offers that are increasingly aligned with their initial price expectations. Simultaneously, the share of homes selling below their original list price dropped significantly. In September, 78.5% of sales closed under the asking price, down from 89% in August and 83.8% a year ago. This indicates that fewer properties are requiring price reductions to find buyers. ALEX Intelligence analyzed these figures across 65 closed sales in September 2026 to determine the current negotiation landscape. The data reveals a market where pricing accuracy is becoming more critical, as the gap between list and sale prices continues to narrow. With median days on market also dropping by 20% from the prior month, the combination of faster sales and tighter price ratios points to a stabilizing environment for both buyers and sellers in North Austin.
