CultureMap Austin reports, "If you’re shopping for a home in the Austin area, this might be a great time to make a purchase.

A new report from residential real estate platform Redfin ranks Austin as the second-best buyer’s market among the country’s 50 largest metro areas. In a buyer’s market, prospective homeowners wield an advantage over sellers, strengthening their ability to score a bargain.

San Antonio pulled just ahead of Austin to claim the top spot on the list.

The report shows that in October, there were 117 percent more sellers than buyers in the San Antonio area — the highest percentage across the 50 biggest markets. In second place: the Austin metro area, where there were 115 percent more sellers than buyers. Across the country,…

Realtor.com writes, "Located some 900 miles apart, Austin, TX, and Nashville, TN, have emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic era as thriving boomtowns with strong job growth, rapid in-migration, and high quality of life—so it comes as no surprise that both metros now rank among the nation's top luxury housing markets. 

Each city attracts throngs of wealthy buyers looking to snap up trophy properties in amenity-rich communities. However, according to the latest research from Realtor.com®, Nashville and Austin's price trends and inventory shifts tell two different stories. 

The main difference between the two popular Southern luxury markets lies in their stages of maturity, explains Realtor.com senior economist Anthony Smith: Nashville's high-end…

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.

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…

ATX Today reports, "130%. That’s the percent by which home sellers outnumber buyers in Austin, which was ranked the top buyer’s market in the country earlier this week.

The Capital City had more than twice as many sellers (17,403) as it did buyers (7,568) in September, according to a study from Redfin. That’s a pretty big swing for Austin, as sellers outnumbered buyers by 81% in September 2024.

Additionally, Texas tied with Florida for the most-represented state in the top 10, with San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston also appearing.

Mortgage rates just hit their lowest point in 2025, so if you’re looking for housing in Austin, here are a few stats about Travis County from the Austin Board of Realtors.

  • The median sales price is $485,000,…

CultureMap Austin writes, "After an August declaration that Austin was becoming a buyer's market, the latest Central Texas Housing Report studied September data and found the metro's highest growth in closed home sales all year.

The new report from from Unlock MLS and the Austin Board of Realtors (ABoR) revealed that closed sales rose 6.7 percent year-over-year in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan statistical area (MSA). Median home prices in the metro dipped nearly two percent year-over-year to $420,000.

Unlock MLS research advisor Vaike O'Grady said the September data indicates buyers are showing a "renewed confidence" as the market stabilizes. September's housing trends are also following ABoR's expectations for the season as the…

Austin Business Journal writes, "Off a quiet road in South Austin, a homebuilder is trying something new to bring more and less expensive housing to the city. 

Ash Creek Homes is using the city's Home Options for Mobility and Equity ordinance — known as the HOME ordinance — to build 28 detached homes on a 2.4-acre property with 10 residential lots. The location is on Drew Lane near the intersection of Slaughter Lane and Menchaca Road. 

The goal of the project is to see if building a mid-sized housing development under Austin’s HOME ordinance will result in more homes at cheaper prices, said Jenna Edge, president of Ash Creek Homes. She said the company bought the property before the HOME ordinance was approved, with the hope of using the…

Austin Business Journal writes, "Look, in the air — it's a bird, it's a plane ... actually it's a big pool rising higher than a pool has gone in the history of Texas.

It's also our photo of the week. The penthouse pool at Waterline in downtown Austin has been set. MC Aquatic Construction in Georgetown gets much of the credit. The company is used to installing pools at apartment complexes and even a high-rise or two, but this project was at a completely other level.

The stainless steel pool was manufactured by Bradford Products LLC, and a crew from DPR Construction got it up there in a single bound under the supervision of developers Kairoi Residential and Lincoln Property Co.

Waterline is the tallest tower in all of Texas, with unmatched…

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…
