North Austin Inventory Signals a Shift to Buyers

Is the market tipping in favor of buyers? In North Austin, the answer is yes. With 6.1 months of inventory available at the end of October, the market has crossed the threshold from a balanced environment into buyer territory. This figure represents the number of months it would take to sell all current listings at the current sales pace, calculated by dividing the 444 active homes by the monthly closing rate of roughly 73 homes. The data supports this shift. Closed sales dropped to 54 in October, down 16.9% from September and 26.0% compared to October 2025. Median prices also retreated, falling 10.3% from the prior month and 11.5% year-over-year. Homes are taking longer to sell as well; the median days on market rose to 43 days, a 19.4% increase from September, though still 17.3% faster than last October. This inventory level indicates that buyers have more choices and greater leverage in negotiations. While the region remains active with over 400 homes currently listed, the combination of rising supply and cooling demand suggests a distinct change in market dynamics for North Austin residents this fall.
