Southeast Austin: The Best Month to List in the Last Two Years

Why does listing timing matter in Southeast Austin? A seasonal decomposition of 24 months of closed sales reveals a distinct pattern where late-year activity often outperforms the start of the year. While October saw 52 closed sales with a median price of $362,490, historical data indicates that December frequently delivers higher volume. ALEX Intelligence analyzed monthly trends from November 2024 through October 2026 to identify the optimal listing window. The data shows that December consistently generates strong activity, with 85 sales recorded in December 2025 and 85 in December 2026. In contrast, January typically sees a drop, with only 60 sales in January 2026. The seasonal cycle suggests that while October prices dipped 2% from September, the market often rebounds heading into the holidays. Sellers listing in December may benefit from the higher volume seen in previous years, even as median prices fluctuate. The data confirms that timing your listing to align with these historical peaks can maximize exposure and potential offers. This analysis relies on a rolling two-year window of closed sales to smooth out anomalies and highlight the recurring seasonal rhythm specific to Southeast Austin neighborhoods like Easton Park.
