September’s numbers are in, and Austin’s real estate market continues to show us one thing: real estate is local, and strategy matters more than ever.
With a median sales price of $424K, up 4% from last year, Austin is holding steady. But what we find most interesting is what’s happening neighborhood by neighborhood. Homes in areas like 78731, 78703, and Lake Travis are moving faster, while other parts of the city are giving buyers more time and negotiating power.
And we see opportunity on both sides! Buyers have more choices and room to be strategic, while sellers who understand their competition, price thoughtfully, and prepare their homes well are still seeing success.
The biggest takeaway? You can’t make real estate decisions based on citywide averages alone. The right strategy starts with understanding your specific neighborhood, price point, and goals. That’s where having an experienced agent who knows the Austin market makes all the difference.
