Market figures by town

What does a 7% drop in median price mean for North Austin buyers and sellers? In October, the median sale price for single-family homes fell to $360,000, down from $387,125 in September. This decline occurred alongside a 16.1% drop in sales volume, with only 47 homes closing compared to 56 the previous month. The market is showing signs of cooling as prices retreat toward earlier levels. The median price per square foot dropped 9.5% to $206.82, while the share of homes selling below original list price rose to 83%. Homes spent an average of 44 days on the market, matching September but improving significantly compared to the same time last year when properties lingered for 84 days. Inventory remains tight with 443 active listings, creating a 6.1-month supply. This balance suggests a neutral market where neither buyers nor sellers hold a distinct advantage. The median home size also shrank slightly to 1,670 square feet, reflecting the current mix of available properties. ALEX Intelligence analyzed these figures to highlight how price adjustments are becoming more common as sellers compete for attention in a slower month. With mortgage rates at 7.11%, affordability remains a key factor for local buyers navigating this shifting landscape. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
