Northwest Austin September Market Recap and Outlook

What does a 15.6% jump in median prices mean for Northwest Austin buyers and sellers this fall? The data from September shows a market that has not only recovered but strengthened compared to last year, even as activity slowed slightly month-over-month. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the monthly rollup of 113 closed sales to summarize the current state of the market. The median sale price reached $572,000, up from $495,000 in September 2025. This represents a significant gain despite a 1.0% dip from August's figures and a 11.7% drop in the number of homes sold compared to the previous month. The market is absorbing inventory at a steady pace, with 3.05 months of supply available today. Days on market have become more volatile, jumping 130% from August but still remaining 14.8% faster than last year's September average of 54 days. Homes are selling for 94.7% of their original list price, a ratio that has improved slightly compared to the same time last year. The median home size also grew, with living area increasing 12.3% year-over-year to 2,162 square feet. While new construction sales were not recorded in this specific window, the overall volume of closed transactions remains robust relative to the prior year. With mortgage rates at 7.32%, buyers are navigating a landscape where prices are rising faster than inventory is growing. The outlook suggests continued price appreciation driven by demand outpacing the limited supply of available homes. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
