A Sold Score of 55 in Austin means it's a balanced market between buyers and sellers right now. Neither side has a strong advantage, making it a fair playing field for property deals. Prices are a bit lower than last year. The median listing price is $475,000, which is down 9.5% compared to the previous year. The average listing price is also down 8.5% year-over-year, to $737,300. Although prices are lower, homes are taking a little longer to sell. The typical home stays on the market for 56 days, which is 21.7% longer than it did last year. This gives buyers more time to consider their options. There are also fewer new homes popping up. New listings are down 13.3% from last year, with 4,084 added in the most recent month. However, there are 11,974 active listings overall, which is only slightly fewer (4.4%) than last year. For anyone looking to buy or sell, this is a market where careful consideration and negotiation are key. The balance means both buyers and sellers have opportunities, but shouldn't expect significant advantages.
