What’s Really Happening to Austin Home Prices in 2025?
Lately, we’ve had a lot of conversations with clients asking about Austin home prices—what’s happening right now and where things might be headed as we move into 2026. Let’s break it down.
Where Prices Stand in 2025
Looking at the Austin MLS, which covers Travis, Hays, Williamson, and Bastrop counties, the data shows:
Year-over-year, home values are down 6–8% (depending on the area).
Some neighborhoods have held steady.
A few select neighborhoods have actually seen slight increases.
But in most areas, prices are trending downward.
So while the headline is a decline, the reality is neighborhood-specific.
What Could Happen in 2026?
Based on current trends, we’ll likely see another 5–8% decrease in home values next year. Of course, that could shift if major factors change—like inventory levels or mortgage interest rates.
Now, I don’t have a crystal ball. This isn’t about predicting the future—it’s about interpreting the data we have and keeping a close eye on market conditions.
So, Should You Buy or Sell Now?
This is the question everyone’s asking. But here’s how I like to look at it:
It’s not about whether it’s a good time or bad time.
It’s about whether it’s the right time for you based on your goals.
For some, holding off makes sense. For others, this could be the perfect time to make a move. The key is aligning the decision with what you want to accomplish.
That’s where we come in—helping you put together a clear plan that makes sense for your situation.
Final Thoughts
Austin’s market is adjusting, and while values have dipped, opportunity still exists depending on your goals.
