The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan area is currently experiencing cooling market conditions. The pending ratio stands at 0.36, indicating that demand absorption is not keeping pace with available inventory. While median listing prices held steady month-over-month at $475,000, they have declined by 9.5% year-over-year.
Inventory levels, as measured by active listings, have seen a modest contraction of 4.4% year-over-year, reaching 11,974 units. However, new listings have declined more significantly, down 13.3% year-over-year. The median days on market has lengthened to 56 days, representing a 21.7% increase year-over-year, suggesting properties are taking longer to find buyers. The pending ratio has observed a slight year-over-year increase of 3.3%, yet remains in a lower range.

Market Signals & Indicators
In the current cooling market, the extended median days on market and the lower pending ratio suggest that properties are not moving quickly, placing less immediate pressure on buyers to act. Negotiating leverage likely favors a measured approach, with a greater emphasis on price discipline given the year-over-year declines in median listing prices. The pace of transactions is slower, and inventory, while contracting, continues to be absorbed at a more moderate rate.
Average listing prices have fallen by 8.5% year-over-year, and median price per square foot has concurrently declined by 8.3% over the same period. This synchronized decline in average price and median price per square foot suggests a broad softening across price tiers, including the higher end of the market.
11,974 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 4,084 per month.
