"Number of houses for sale in Austin area reaches highest since 2022"

CultureMap Austin writes, "The number of houses for sale in the Austin metro has reached its highest level since 2022, and median home prices remained stable for the seventh month in a row, according to the October 2025 Central Texas Housing Report from Unlock MLS and the Austin Board of Realtors.

The median sale price for a home in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area came out to $439,000 last month, only 1.4 percent more than the median sale prices in October 2024. Home sales dipped 9.6 percent from last year with 2,238 residential homes sold in the metro. More than 3,600 new listings were added to the market in October, which is 7.9 percent higher than last year, bringing the total number of active listings to 13,227 homes.

"More homes will hit the market in 2026. Here's the pricing outlook."

Austin Business Journal shares, "More homes are going to hit the market in 2026 — but don’t expect home prices to drop in the near future.

A new report by the National Association of Realtors predicts existing-home sales will jump by 14% in 2026. That’s because of a combination of dropping mortgage rates and improving market stability after several years. 

But, despite the number of new homes hitting the market, prices are still projected to go up by 4% in 2026, as demand remains steady and supply remains lower than normal. 

“Next year is really the year that we will see a measurable increase in sales,” said NAR National Economist Lawrence Yun. “Home prices nationwide are in no danger of declining.”

Mortgage rates are projected to go down…

"Texas scores No. 1 city in US for homebuyers, report shows"

MYSA.com writes, "If you're looking for a new home, one Central Texas city just might have exactly what you need. Texas' capital city was recently recognized for having the strongest market in America for homebuyers, according to a new Redfin report.

The online real estate brokerage crowned Austin with the No. 1 spot on its top 10 list of the strongest buyers markets of September 2025. All but two of Redfin's best buyers markets were in Florida or Texas, with major cities like San Antonio, Houston and Dallas also in the mix.

To determine the rankings, Redfin analyzed the 50 most populous U.S. metropolitan areas using proprietary data on the typical time from a buyer’s first tour to close of purchase, MLS data on active listings and pending sales.…

"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.

The divergence across the Texas Triangle metros reveals how even neighboring markets can experience different conditions. The Texas Triangle—a megaregion formed by Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin that houses the vast majority of Texans—shows varying market dynamics despite geographic proximity. While Austin and San Antonio moved into buyer-favorable territory, Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston maintained neutral conditions…

"Austin market relies on price cuts as homes sit longer"

Housingwire writes, "The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro housing market shows a striking disconnect between aggressive price reductions and selling pace, with 53.43% of active listings taking price cuts while homes still require 84 days to sell, according to the latest market data.

This paradox positions Austin as an outlier in both Texas and national markets. Despite more than half of sellers reducing prices, the metro’s median days on market exceeds the national average of 77 days, though it moves faster than the Texas state median of 91 days.

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…

"Falling Mortgage Rates Boost Housing Market for Now—as Government Shutdown Enters Second Month, Clouding Outlook"

Realtor.com reports, "Mortgage rates just hit 6.17%—their lowest in more than a year. Also this week, the Fed cut rates again. Together, this could provide some real momentum for the housing market. 

But with an economy sending mixed signals and the government shutdown clouding the data picture, uncertainty is creeping in.  

That’s this week’s big story: Momentum meeting uncertainty. Lower rates are trying to push the housing market forward, and macro risks are pulling it back.

On one side, momentum: Since May, mortgage rates have fallen by 70 basis points, saving a typical buyer about $150 a month—that’s nearly $2,000 a year in payments. 

On the other side, uncertainty: Without the usual labor market data, Fed Chair Jerome Powell compared…

"Here's where homes are selling the fastest as the housing market evolves"

Austin Business Journal writes, "Home sales have slowed in many cities across the country — including some Covid-era hotspots — but some communities are bucking the trend and seeing houses sell more than 40% faster than they did pre-pandemic.

That's according to The Business Journals' second-quarter analysis of the nation's hottest housing markets based on quarterly listing and sales data from Intercontinental Exchange.

ZIP code 49629 in Elk Rapids, Michigan, was the fastest-selling housing market in the nation for the second quarter. Homes in Elk Rapids spent an average of 23 days on the market.

The small, waterfront community — approximately 17 miles from Michigan vacation hotspot Traverse City — provides easy access to nearby Elk Lake and…

"The 'sweet spot' for frustrated homebuyers is on the horizon"

Austin Business Journal writes, "The best time of the year to buy a home is coming up, giving frustrated house hunters an increased chance to close a desired deal.

The week of October 12-18 is what Realtor.com is calling the “sweet spot” for home shoppers. Why? A rare combination of higher inventory, lower prices and less competition makes it ideal for buyers. And even though it's not exactly a buyer's market overall, the improved buying conditions could feel like a breath of fresh air for prospective buyers.

"After years of constrained conditions, the 2025 housing market is giving buyers something they haven't had in a long time: options," said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com, in a statement. "I expect this market momentum shift…

"7 Major Cities Are Now Buyer’s Markets—but Delistings Continue To Rise"

Realtor.com writes,"Summer ended with a standoff between reluctant buyers and frustrated sellers—but this fall, house hunters can be a bit more optimistic as seven of the 50 biggest metros become buyer's markets.

The national housing market reached a balance of five months of supply—the first summer to do so since Realtor.com® began tracking this data nine years ago, according to the August 2025 Monthly Housing Market Trends report.

What does that mean in simple terms? The months of supply metric represents how many months it would take for all the for-sale homes on the market (including pending listings) to be sold at the current sales pace. 

The higher the months of supply, the slower the market—and the more negotiating power buyers have.
