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…

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…

Realtor.com writes, mortgage rates dipped yet again. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed rate fell to 6.19%, its lowest level in more than a year. That’s a meaningful drop, and it comes as markets fully price in another possible Federal Reserve rate cut after it meets next week.

While this gives buyers some breathing room, it’s worth noting that further declines may be limited. That’s because there’s still uncertainty around a potential December policy move, and inflation expectations remain sticky.

After delays from the government shutdown, we finally got the report everyone’s been waiting for. The consumer price index, or CPI, showed inflation running at 3% year over year, a slight increase compared with 2.9% the previous month.

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. This has led to higher-than-normal volatility in mortgage rates, despite a strengthening economy.”

Unfortunately for would-be homebuyers—and sellers—this uptick marks the fourth week in a row that mortgage rates have risen.

“This rapid run-up in mortgage rates has sapped some of the burgeoning…

Realtor.com shares, "Mortgage rates rose from 6.32% last week to 6.44% for a 30-year fixed home loan for the week ending Oct. 17, according to Freddie Mac.

“The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased for the third consecutive week, moving closer to 6.5%,” Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in a statement. “In general, higher rates reflect the strength in the economy that is supportive of the housing market. But notably, as compared to a year ago, rates are more than one percentage point lower and potential homebuyers can stand to benefit, especially by shopping around for the best quote as rates can vary widely between mortgage lenders.”

This wasn’t exactly the news homebuyers were hoping for.

“While we expect the long-run trend…
