"Comparing Texas housing markets: Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio trends"

Housingwire writes, "Austin’s housing market showed the sharpest shift toward buyers among Texas’ major metros, with 53.4% of active listings taking price cuts as of Nov. 1, 2025. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro’s median list price dropped to $499,000 from $525,231 a year earlier, marking a $26,231 decline.

Inventory builds as buyer conditions strengthen

Austin’s housing inventory reached 11,429 active single-family homes as of Nov. 1, 2025, representing 3.67 months of supply. The market absorbed 780…

Realtor.com shares, "mortgage rates climbed from 6.44% last week to 6.54% for a 30-year fixed home loan for the week ending Oct. 24, according to Freddie Mac.

“The continued strength in the economy drove mortgage rates higher once again this week,” Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in a statement. “Over the last few years, there has been a tension between downbeat economic narrative and incoming economic data stronger than that narrative.
