Williamson County October Market Recap and Outlook

Williamson County saw its median home price drop to $375,000 in October, down 9.4% from the same month last year across 723 closed sales. This marks a continued cooling trend as total sales volume fell 11.6% compared to October 2025 and 14.6% from September. The market is absorbing inventory at a slower pace, with active listings reaching 4,080 homes and months of inventory rising to 4.25. New construction activity remains a significant driver, accounting for 247 of the 723 closings in October. Despite the price decline, the median home size shrank slightly to 2,112 square feet, down 3.9% from last year. Homes are spending an average of 54 days on market, a slight improvement over the 56 days seen in September but still higher than the 55-day average from October 2025. Buyers are finding more negotiating power, with 83.3% of homes selling below their original list price. The median close-to-original list ratio stands at 93.8%, down slightly from last year. With mortgage rates holding at 7.24% according to the latest Freddie Mac data, affordability remains a key factor for buyers entering this cooler market phase. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the full dataset of 723 transactions to summarize these shifts in supply and demand. The data reflects a transition where inventory is building faster than sales are closing, creating a more balanced environment for both buyers and sellers compared to the tighter conditions seen earlier in the year.
