February market stats are in for the Austin metro area, and they give us a helpful snapshot of where things stand as we head into the spring season. 📊🏡 The numbers show a balanced market with inventory sitting around 5–6 months, which means buyers and sellers both have opportunities right now. It’s a very different environment than the ultra-competitive years we saw earlier in the decade.
Home prices have adjusted slightly, with the average sold price around $566K in the resale market and $537K across the broader metro, while median prices are just under $430K and $408K respectively. 📉 This kind of modest adjustment isn’t necessarily a negative—it’s often what helps keep the market healthy and sustainable over time. For buyers, it can create more room to negotiate, and for sellers it means pricing strategy matters more than ever.
We’re also seeing more new listings hitting the market (over 3,300 resale and 4,000+ metro-wide), which is great for buyers who have been waiting for more choices. 🏘️ At the same time, days on market have increased to around 107–111 days, meaning homes are generally taking a little longer to sell than they did during the peak frenzy years. This makes preparation, marketing, and strong representation even more important.
Overall, the Austin market continues to move toward balance and stability, which can be a really healthy place for long-term growth. 📈 Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, investing, or just staying informed about the market, it’s always a good time to understand your options and plan ahead.
