Part 2 of the September snapshot: the closings.

1,815 Austin-area homes closed in September at a $439,000 median price — and the headline for sellers is this: they kept 98.1% of their final asking price.

The catch? That compares to the *final* ask. 5,043 listings took a price cut during September. Homes that sold moved in 53 days; the ones that did not are why the listing-side average sits at 80.

Translation: buyers have leverage, but they are not stealing homes. Sellers who price to the market get paid. Sellers who price to 2022 sit.

Same story nationally: NAR reports 4.8 months of inventory and says buyers now have "improved negotiating power."

Ask $446K, sell $439K — that is the market doing its job.

September Austin market numbers are in 📊

Median list price: $446,450 — down 9.8% from last September
Days on market: 80
Share of listings with a price cut: 27.3%

Buyers hold the leverage right now: more choice, more room to negotiate.

Sellers, the playbook is simple — price it right from day one. Well-priced homes are still closing at 98% of list.

UNDER CONTRACT!

7621 Menler Drive
Austin, TX 78735

Excited to share that my buyers are officially under contract on this beautiful home in the highly sought-after Lantana community of Southwest Austin!

This transaction is especially meaningful because my clients are relocating from Houston and were looking for a home that offered plenty of space, great amenities, and an ideal location to enjoy everything Austin has to offer. From the soaring ceilings and spacious floor plan to the media room and backyard pool retreat, this home checked all the boxes.

Relocating to a new city can be both exciting and overwhelming, and I'm honored they trusted me to help guide them through the process and find the perfect place to call home.

Congratulations to my buyers! We're one step closer to making Austin home.

CLOSED & FUNDED!

10713 Sun Tree Cv
Austin, TX 78730

What a special closing day!

I'm thrilled to announce that 10713 Sun Tree Cove is officially closed and funded. This incredible River Place property featured 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, multiple living spaces, and breathtaking Hill Country views that stretched across the canyon to Steiner Ranch and beyond.

What makes this sale even more meaningful is that the buyers are longtime friends of ours. Having the opportunity to help friends find a home they'll enjoy for years to come is one of the most rewarding parts of being a Realtor. Watching them fall in love with this property and helping them navigate the journey to the closing table made this transaction especially memorable.

Congratulations on your beautiful new home and thank you for trusting me to be part of such an important milestone. Wishing you many years of happiness, memories, and sunsets overlooking the canyon.
