Market Report for June 2025 According to the June and Mid-Year 2025 Central Texas Housing Report released by Unlock MLS, closed sales in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA rose 2.8% to 2,823 sales compared to June 2024, while the median sales price remained flat at $449,900. Year-to-date, closed sales dipped 5.3% to 14,643 sales, a decline that was anticipated following early-year economic uncertainty. As inventory rises and market activity gradually levels out, the Central Texas housing market continues to demonstrate signs of stability heading into the second half of the year. Vaike O’Grady, research advisor at Unlock MLS, said the data reflects a market that’s steadily finding its footing. “The Central Texas housing market is continuing a gradual adjustment following a subdued start to the year, with current indicators signaling movement toward a more balanced environment. Although year-to-date sales remain below 2024 levels, the rate of decline has moderated, and rising inventory is expanding buyer choice.” She added, “At the same time, the median sales price has held steady, underscoring ongoing demand and reinforcing long-term confidence in the Austin market. Mortgage rates are expected to stay relatively stable, meaning sellers will need to remain flexible on pricing to maintain progress, particularly as affordability remains a significant hurdle for many first-time buyers. With close to 15,000 homes sold year to date, the market is potentially positioned to close the gap with last year’s pace if these trends continue.” Read the full article at: Kuperrealty.blog

Market Report for May 2025 In May, new listings in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA rose 8.9% to 5,716 listings, increasing housing inventory to 5.0 months, 1.0 month more than May 2024, according to the latest Central Texas Housing Report released by Unlock MLS. At the same time, home sales dipped 3.8% to 3,021 sales, while the median sales price edged down 1.6% to $449,900. Despite modest declines in sales and prices, the market is showing signs of resilience as pending sales climbed 16.1% to 4,515—the strongest month of the year so far. Clare Knapp, Ph.D., housing economist for Unlock MLS and the Austin Board of REALTORS®, shared that the data reflects healthy market adjustments that could ultimately lead to more balanced conditions for buyers and sellers. “At some point, a slowing market can motivate sellers to adjust prices to better align with what buyers can afford. We’re seeing that dynamic begin to unfold in Central Texas. It’s not that demand has disappeared—buyers still want homes here, but affordability remains a key factor. Many are waiting for the right opportunity or more favorable pricing. The notable increase in pending sales in May signals that buyer activity has picked up after a challenging first quarter. While higher mortgage rates continue to impact buyer confidence, these trends point to cautious optimism as we move into the summer.” Read the full article at: Kuperrealty.blog

Market Report for April 2025 In April, new listings in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA rose 11.5% to 5,710 listings, increasing housing inventory to 5.6 months, 1.8 months more than April 2024, according to the latest Central Texas Housing Report released by Unlock MLS. At the same time, home sales fell 13.8% to 2,484 listings while the median sales price dipped 3.2% to $450,000. The data mirrors national trends of declining home sales amid higher mortgage rates and wavering consumer confidence. Clare Knapp, Ph.D., housing economist for Unlock MLS and the Austin Board of REALTORS®, noted that the significant increase in housing inventory across the MSA has helped make homeownership more affordable for the standard household. “Central Texas’s move toward more balanced market conditions mirrors housing market corrections nationwide, underscoring that what is happening in our market isn’t an anomaly. What’s unique to the Central Texas housing market is its supply of affordably priced inventory. Austin was one of the most affordability-constrained markets emerging from the pandemic. Many parts of the country are still supply-constrained, but in April, the Austin area posted the highest inventory level affordable to the standard household since 2012.” “While this signals progress, especially for first-time homebuyers, significant work remains to improve long-term housing affordability across the region, especially as higher mortgage rates and economic turbulence impact buyer confidence,” Knapp continued.
