Is the North Austin market cooling or simply stabilizing? The latest data from October 2026 reveals a distinct shift in buyer and seller dynamics across this part of the city. ALEX Intelligence calculated a Market Heat Score of 58 out of 100 for North Austin, based on a composite index weighing days on market, sale-to-list ratios, inventory levels, and price reduction frequency. This score reflects a transition from a strong seller's environment to a more balanced landscape. The median closed price settled at $360,000 across 47 sales, down 9.2% from the same month last year. While prices softened, homes are moving faster than they were a year ago; the median days on market dropped to 44 days, a 47.6% improvement over October 2025 when properties sat for 84 days. Inventory remains a key factor, with 6.14 months of supply currently available. This level suggests a balanced market where neither buyers nor sellers hold a decisive advantage. The median close-to-original list ratio stood at 92.9%, indicating that while fewer homes are selling below list price compared to last year, negotiation room still exists for the majority of transactions. The heat score integrates these competing signals: faster sales velocity is offset by lower prices and elevated inventory. For buyers, this means more time to evaluate options without the intense competition seen in previous years. For sellers, pricing accurately from the start remains critical, as 83% of homes sold below their original list price during the month. Current mortgage rates stand at 7.18%, according to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week ending November 5, 2026. This rate environment continues to influence buyer purchasing power and payment structures across the region. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
