Round Rock October Market Pulse: Prices Dip as Sales Slow

Round Rock home prices dipped 3.7% in October compared to September, settling at a median of $390,000 across 123 closed sales. While the median price per square foot rose slightly to $195, the total number of homes sold dropped 13.4% from the prior month and fell 19.6% compared to October 2025. This cooling in volume coincides with a slight increase in the time it takes for properties to sell, though median days on market remained steady at 42 days. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the transaction data to track how buyer demand is shifting relative to supply. The share of homes selling below their original list price rose to 86.2%, up from 83.1% in September and 82.4% a year ago, indicating that buyers are negotiating more effectively than they did previously. Despite the lower sales volume, new listings increased to 163, helping to stabilize inventory levels. The median home size sold in October was 2,009 square feet, down 3.8% from September and 7.1% compared to last year. This suggests a trend toward smaller homes or different property types entering the market. With 631 active listings currently on the market, the area shows signs of a balanced environment where buyers have more choices but face slightly higher competition for specific price points. Current mortgage rates stand at 7.18% based on the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week of November 5, 2026. This rate environment continues to influence buyer purchasing power and the pace of transactions in the local market. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
