Months Supply Of Inventory

Austin's single-family housing market currently stands at 4.62 months of supply. This decrease from July is likely due to a seasonal fall reduction in new listings, while buyer demand remains steady.

What’s Coming Next (60-Day Outlook)

Buyer-friendly conditions are expected to persist into the fall. Inventory remains high with 3,398 active listings as of September 9th, 2025. New listings are down -1.5% YoY, and price reductions are affecting 58% of active inventory. The median days on market is 46, signaling a slower pace than seasonal norms. Sellers should stand out with competitive pricing and strong presentation to attract buyer attention in a crowded field.

Buyers can expect more selection and opportunities for concessions, but should move quickly on well-priced homes as they still attract strong interest and in some cases, multiple offers.

Economy & Rates Snapshot from our OriginPoint Partner

Recent economic news is pointing to a cooling labor market, with weekly jobless claims and continuing claims on the rise. This has increased optimism for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts, which are widely anticipated in the coming months. In fact, the average rate for a 30-year U.S. mortgage has already fallen to 6.5%, its lowest level in 11 months.

This trend of slightly lower rates is positive for buyers as it can increase purchasing power and provide more affordable financing. However, this window of opportunity may not last forever. A drop in mortgage rates could bring more buyers into the market, increasing competition for homes. Buyers should be ready to act quickly on well-priced homes as they continue to move fast. It's a strategic time for buyers who have the budget to enter the market and leverage their position to negotiate.
