Central Texas housing market posts largest gain in closed sales in 2025
Renewed buyer confidence and steady prices mark a healthy, seasonal market
Closed sales in Austin, TX rose 6.7% year over year to 2,416 sales in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA, ending the third quarter with its strongest sales growth of 2025. Coupled with a 1.8% decrease in the median sales price to $420,000, the data reflects sustained activity through late summer and early fall, pointing to renewed buyer confidence and continued market balance as prices follow typical seasonality.
Vaike O’Grady, research advisor at Unlock MLS, “The numbers we’re seeing in September match the trends we expected to see this time of year. As we wrap up the third quarter, the market is mirroring typical seasonality trends, pointing to a sign of continued adjustment and balance. Buyer enthusiasm has picked up slightly as we saw the first interest rate cut in nine months, and steady pricing from sellers continues to support that confidence. What we’re seeing in the market now is a healthy level of stability. Homes may be taking a bit longer to sell, but they’re still selling, and buyers are meeting sellers where they are. This consistency shows that the market is functioning as it should—steady, sustainable and well-positioned heading into the end of the year.”
Brandy Wuensch, 2025 Unlock MLS and ABoR president, “Homeownership involves a range of costs—from property taxes and insurance to ongoing maintenance—and REALTORS® help buyers understand that complete picture. Our role is to guide people toward decisions that support their long-term homeownership goals by giving them the knowledge and resources they need to navigate the process with confidence.”
