North Austin: The Best Month to List in the Last Two Years

What is the best month to list a home in North Austin? A review of 24 months of data reveals that October consistently delivers strong results for sellers. ALEX Intelligence analyzed seasonal patterns across two years of market activity to identify trends. The data shows that October is historically one of the most active months, with sales volumes often peaking compared to the surrounding months. In the current cycle, October 2025 saw 73 closed sales, a significant increase from September's 62 transactions. This momentum continued into October 2026, where 73 homes sold, representing a 4.9% price increase over the previous month and matching the volume of the prior year. The seasonal decomposition highlights that spring months like March and April also see high activity, but October stands out for its combination of volume and price stability. While February often sees the lowest sales volume with only 43 transactions in 2025, October provides a robust window for sellers to capitalize on buyer demand before the winter slowdown. Listing a home in October allows sellers to benefit from this established seasonal peak. The median sale price in October 2026 reached $387,000, demonstrating that buyers remain active and willing to pay competitive rates during this period. This pattern suggests that timing a listing for October can maximize exposure and potential return. The analysis is based on 24 months of closed sales data from the North Austin market.
