Posted by Grossman & Jones Group on November 6th, 2025

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.
