It's tough to say which neighborhoods are "best" without knowing more about what your family needs. The data we have focuses on the overall market trends for the entire Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos area, not specific neighborhoods. Looking at the bigger picture, the median listing price in the area is $473,500. This is actually a slight dip of 0.3% from the month before and a larger drop of 9.8% compared to last year. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, staying on the market for a median of 63 days. That's about 9% longer than this time last year. You're also seeing a good number of homes with price reductions, with about 27.6% of listings currently marked down. There are 12,456 homes actively for sale right now, which is a bit fewer than last year. However, new homes coming onto the market have stayed pretty steady, with 3,926 new listings over the latest period. For families looking to buy in the Austin area, these trends suggest that prices have cooled off slightly. This could mean more opportunities to find a home that fits your budget, especially if you're prepared to see homes sit on the market for a little longer.
