Southeast Austin: How List Prices Compare to Sells in September

In Southeast Austin, homes sold for an average of 93.6% of their original asking price last month. This figure, known as the list-to-sale price ratio, reflects how closely final sale prices align with initial listing prices. Across 77 closed sales in September 2026, the median close price was $369,990, down slightly from $373,500 in August but up 2.9% compared to September 2025. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between original list prices and final sale prices to determine this ratio. The data shows that 89.6% of homes sold below their original list price, a slight increase from 87.8% in August. This suggests that while buyers still negotiate down, the gap between asking and selling prices remains relatively stable compared to last year, when 91.9% of sales were below list. The median price per square foot rose to $206, up 0.5% from the prior month but down 5.1% year-over-year. Homes spent a median of 65 days on market, a 9.7% decrease from August and a 7.1% drop compared to the same time last year. These metrics indicate that while prices have softened slightly in dollar terms, the efficiency of transactions has improved, with homes selling closer to their list values than they did a year ago. The analysis is based on 77 closed sales in September 2026, providing a robust view of current market dynamics for buyers and sellers in this area. Want a closer look?
