From prices and inventory to new construction permits and site plans — the complete picture of Central Texas's housing landscape.
12-month median list price trajectory
At $475K median and $241/sqft, Austin remains one of Texas's most dynamic markets. Prices have cooled 9.5% from last year.
Supply and sales speed
A 51-day average DOM indicates a more balanced market for buyers and sellers.
New supply coming to market
The median listing price shown above reflects the midpoint of homes currently for sale across the Austin metro, sourced from Realtor.com data published through FRED. It rose sharply through the pandemic boom and has since moderated; watch it alongside active listings and days on market to gauge direction.
No single number tells the story — read three signals together. Rising active listings and longer days on market point to a cooler, more buyer-friendly market; falling inventory with faster sales points to a hotter one. The price, listings, and days-on-market trends above update monthly so you can see which way the market is moving.
The active-listings count above tracks the number of homes on the market across the metro. It collapsed during the 2021 boom and has since rebuilt, which is a key reason price growth has cooled. New-listings and pending-sales counts add context on supply and demand.
Home prices, listings, and days on market come from Realtor.com via FRED. Building activity combines residential permits and City of Austin Open Data site plans, plus commercial construction project filings from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).
