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

What is the best month to list a home in North Austin? An analysis of 24 months of closed sales reveals a distinct seasonal pattern where late-year activity often outperforms the autumn lull. ALEX Intelligence applied seasonal decomposition to monthly closed sales data from November 2024 through October 2026 to identify these trends. The data shows that November consistently delivers strong results. In November 2025, median prices reached $390,000 with 57 sales, and in the same month of the prior year, prices hit $381,500 with 69 sales. These figures represent the highest median prices recorded for any single month in this two-year window. Conversely, the data highlights a significant dip in October 2026. Median prices fell to $342,500 across 54 closed sales, marking a 10.3% drop from September and an 11.5% decline compared to October of the previous year. This suggests that listing during the transition into late autumn can result in lower final sale prices compared to the peak activity seen in November. While spring months like March and April also show robust activity, with median prices ranging between $375,000 and $405,000, the consistency of November performance stands out for sellers seeking optimal value. The seasonal decomposition indicates that waiting until November may yield better financial outcomes than listing in October, when market momentum appears to slow.
