CultureMap Austin writes, "The latest Central Texas Housing Market Report from Unlock MLS has revealed Austin's housing market showed "clear signs" of stability at the end of 2025, and the "recalibration" of the market will make real estate trends easier to predict in 2026.

In 2025, a total 29,383 homes were sold in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan statistical area (MSA), which is down 3.2 percent from 2024's total home sales.

The median price for residential homes in the MSA was $435,000 in 2025, or 2.4 percent less than median housing prices in 2024. The total dollar volume of…

The National Housing Market Tilts Sharply Toward Buyers in Late 2025

The World Property Journal writes, "The U.S. housing market swung decisively into buyer-friendly territory at the end of last year, as a widening mismatch between supply and demand reached levels unseen in more than a decade.

In December 2025, there were an estimated 47.1% more home sellers than buyers nationwide--roughly 631,500 additional sellers--marking the largest imbalance since records began in 2013. The gap widened rapidly, increasing 7.1 percentage points from November, the biggest one-month jump since September 2022, and surged 22.2 percentage points from a year earlier.

By standard industry definitions, the market has been firmly tilted in buyers' favor since May…

Austin Business Journal shares, "The Austin metro’s home sales and prices should remain flat this year, which experts say is a welcomed sign as the market normalizes.

Home sales slowed last year in the metro, according to Unlock MLS's year-end market report. In 2025, 29,383 home sales were recorded, marking a 3.2% decrease from the year before, the data shows. Those decreases suggest a move toward predictability in the local housing market, Unlock MLS Research Advisor Vaike O’Grady said in a statement.

“2025 wasn’t a year defined by urgency,” O’Grady said. “It was defined by adjustment.”

Despite retaining the title of Austin’s highest-selling community, the Liberty Hill neighborhood Santa Rita Ranch saw sales slow in 2025. A recent John Burns…

Austin Business Journal reports, "Sales momentum is strong at the recently delivered The Modern Austin Residences, and Austin-based condo developer Urbanspace Development has secured a recapitalized construction loan for the new tower.

Moreover, it's likely that it will be the last condo project to be delivered in Austin this decade, said Burns, as many projects are put on hold due to market conditions or are in the early planning stages.

Urbanspace also recently secured financing to recapitalize its construction loan for the 56-story building, which is in the Rainey Street Historic District,…

The speedy closing, which follows the required regulatory review period, came much earlier than the latter half of 2026 as executives had initially predicted.

Compass also operates Christie’s, and will now take control of Anywhere's subsidiary brands, including Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Corcoran, Century 21, ERA, Sotheby’s, and Coldwell Banker.
