How does the Southeast Austin market compare to its broader neighbors? In September 2026, median home prices in this area settled at $369,995 across 78 closed sales. This figure represents a 2.9% increase compared to the same month last year, though it is slightly lower than the regional benchmark of $405,000 for the broader Unlock MLS region. While prices remain competitive, the pace of sales tells a different story. Homes in Southeast Austin spent an average of 65 days on the market before closing. This is notably slower than the regional average of 56 days and the Travis County average of 52 days. The data indicates that buyers in this specific area are taking longer to finalize deals, with 89.7% of sales closing below the original list price. Price per square foot also shows a distinct local trend. At $206 per square foot, Southeast Austin is slightly higher than the regional average of $204 but significantly lower than Travis County's $251. This suggests that while homes are selling for a solid value relative to their size, the overall price point remains more accessible than the wider county averages. The supply gap also appears tighter here. With 372 active listings and 78 closings in September, the market holds approximately 4.6 months of inventory. This places the area in a balanced position, though the slower turnover compared to neighboring regions suggests buyers have more time to negotiate than they might elsewhere in the region. ALEX Intelligence analyzed these comparative figures against regional benchmarks to highlight where Southeast Austin stands relative to its peers. The data reflects a market that is stable but distinct in its velocity and pricing structure compared to the broader Austin area. Want to see this home?
