What's moving the Austin market right now.
The most recent data indicate a decelerating market. While active listings have remained relatively stable with a 0.3% year-over-year increase, and new listings saw a marginal 1.2% year-over-year rise, the pending ratio of 0.28 suggests a limited appetite for available inventory. Median days on market have edged up slightly by 1.4% year-over-year, reaching 73 days, further reflecting the moderated pace. The median $/sqft also decreased by 8.1% over the past year.
Texas capital with a still-cooling tech-fueled market and renewed buyer leverage.

Market Signals & Indicators
Current market dynamics suggest that demand pressure is diminished, allowing for more extended marketing periods for properties. With the pending ratio at 0.28, inventory is not being absorbed rapidly, which generally affords greater flexibility to prospective buyers regarding pace and price negotiations. Price discipline for sellers remains critical in this environment.
The average listing price of $704,101, significantly higher than the median listing price of $450,000, suggests some stratification. However, without additional data on top-tier specific $/sqft or direct luxury inventory metrics, a definitive signal of luxury-segment softness cannot be established solely from these figures. The overall declining average prices also affect this segment.
12,517 active listings represent the current floor, with new supply arriving at roughly 2,932 per month.
