Market figures by town

In Southeast Austin, the breakdown between cash and financed buyers remains unreported for September 2026. The data shows 78 closed sales with a median price of $369,995, but the specific count or percentage of all-cash transactions is missing from the current dataset. ALEX Intelligence typically analyzes financing types to determine if cash buyers are dominating the market or if traditional mortgage financing remains the primary driver. Without this figure, we cannot calculate the share-of-sales trend for cash versus financed purchases for this month. The sample size of 78 closed sales is sufficient for other metrics, but the financing field was not populated in the source data for this period. Consequently, no comparison can be made against prior months or last year regarding the mix of payment methods. Buyers relying on mortgages and those paying cash are both present, but their relative proportions cannot be quantified from the available records. This gap prevents a full assessment of how financing availability is influencing buyer behavior in this specific area during September 2026. For context, the median days on market was 65 days, and the median price per square foot was $206. While these figures provide insight into pricing and speed, the absence of financing data leaves a key piece of the affordability puzzle incomplete for this month's analysis. Want to see this home?
