What are the experts saying?
“We’ve reached a point in the year where housing market conditions are leveling off, but it’s never been clearer than before that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to buying or selling a home in Central Texas. Whether it’s helping sellers position their homes competitively or advising buyers on affordability and timing, real estate agents are at the center of the market’s return to balance.” – Brandy Wuensch, 2025 Unlock MLS and Austin Board of Realtors president, July 15, 2025.
“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. 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.” – Vaike O’Grady, Unlock MLS research advisor, July 15, 2025.
Unlock MLS, Realtor.com and Zillow all release new housing market data each month. The charts in this story will be updated as new data becomes available.
