Is Austin Still a Seller’s Market?
A Real Look at Austin Real Estate in 2025
Austin’s skyline may still be climbing, but what about home values?
Whether you're thinking of selling or just curious about your home's position in the current market, here’s what’s really happening across Central Texas—and what it means for you.
The Shift: From Frenzy to Strategy
2021 was wild. 2022 was still hot. 2023 cooled. Now, in mid-2025, we’re seeing something more sustainable: a return to balance. But in a city like Austin—where tech campuses, cultural capital, and Hill Country lifestyle converge—"balance" doesn’t mean boring.
While interest rates remain steady and inventory has slightly increased, the right homes are still selling fast, especially when they’re priced and marketed strategically.
Location Still Reigns
Hot now: Lock-and-leave luxury condos in Zilker, Clarksville, and Downtown
Family homes in Eanes, Lake Travis, and Round Rock ISD
Move-in ready homes under $850K in Southeast Austin and Leander
Lagging: Oversized or outdated homes, and listings that "test the market" with inflated pricing.
Seller Tip: It’s Not Just What You Sell, But How
Today’s buyers are savvy. They want value, lifestyle, and move-in confidence.
That’s why we guide our sellers with:
Strategic pricing (not wishful pricing)
High-quality storytelling—photos, video, and social media that spark emotion
Smart timing aligned with buyer behavior—not just your calendar
Austin Still Has the Edge
Despite whispers of market correction, Austin remains one of the strongest real estate ecosystems in the country. Why?
Continued job growth (Apple, Tesla, Google expansions)
National and international relocation demand
Year-round lifestyle appeal: lakes, festivals, trails, and tacos
So—is Austin still a seller’s market? Yes… but only for sellers who are realistic, ready, and represented by someone who knows how to win in this market.
