How does North Austin compare to its broader region and county neighbors in October? The data shows a distinct divergence where local prices dropped faster than the wider area while sales volume contracted significantly. In October 2026, North Austin recorded 47 closed sales with a median price of $360,000. This represents a 9.2% decrease compared to the same month last year and a 7.0% drop from September. The median price per square foot fell 12.7% year-over-year to $206.82. In contrast, the broader Unlock MLS region saw a median price of $398,237, while Travis County averaged $500,000 for the same period. North Austin homes sold at a median close-to-original list ratio of 0.929, slightly lower than the regional average of 0.94 and the county average of 0.944. Market speed also tells a different story. Homes in North Austin spent a median of 44 days on market, which is 47.6% faster than the same time last year when the median was 84 days. This compares to 65 days for the region and 58 days for Travis County. While 83% of North Austin sales closed below original list prices, this share is identical to the regional average but lower than the county's 82.7%. New construction activity in North Austin remained low with only 4 closed sales, compared to 351 regionally and 112 county-wide. The supply gap remains visible with 103 new listings added against 47 closings, though inventory levels remain tighter than the regional average of 6.04 months of supply. ALEX Intelligence analyzed these comparative figures to highlight how North Austin's pricing dynamics are currently decoupling from the broader county trends, offering a distinct value proposition relative to neighboring areas.
