The Q2 2026 real estate data is in, and it tells a fascinating story of a market in transition. Luxury is cooling while more affordable neighborhoods are heating up. In Northwest Hills, the median sales price dipped slightly to $1,050,625, and appreciation turned negative at -1.56%. Meanwhile, homes are sitting a bit longer than last year, with days on market rising from 10.5 to 15. But inventory is tightening, dropping from 4.7 to 3.0 months, which suggests sellers who price right can still find buyers quickly. Over in Cat Mountain, the median price took a notable $325,000 hit, falling to $1.025 million, and appreciation dropped over 13%. Yet homes are selling in just over two weeks, and the gap between asking and sales price narrowed significantly, indicating that well-priced homes move fast even in a softening luxury segment.

On the flip side, more budget-friendly areas are thriving. Brentwood saw its median price rise to $668,800, with days on market shrinking and inventory tightening. Harris Branch posted a similar story: prices inched up, days on market dropped from 66 to 44, and the spread between original and sales price improved. Cimarron Hills and Oaks at San Gabriel also showed strong momentum, with days on market plummeting and prices rising. This divergence suggests buyers are prioritizing value and affordability, perhaps due to higher interest rates or economic uncertainty. The days of across-the-board appreciation are gone; now it's about micro-markets and smart positioning.

No matter where you're looking to buy or sell, understanding these local shifts is critical to making the right move. I'd love to show you how these trends apply to your specific situation.

It’s fascinating to see how the Austin metro area is shifting under our feet. I’ve just finished reviewing the latest May 2026 data for several key zip codes, and a couple of major trends stand out. First, we’re seeing broad price softening across many neighborhoods. Zip codes like 78628, 78634, 78725, 78754, 78750, and 78756 all posted lower median sales prices compared to a year ago, with appreciation dipping into negative territory. For example, 78750 saw its median drop from $748K to $570K, and appreciation fell a dramatic 8%. Even in areas where the median rose—like 78731 (now $1.35M) and 78759 ($732K)—the appreciation figures are mixed. 78731 actually saw positive appreciation (2.94%), but 78759’s appreciation slipped to -4.11%, despite the higher price point. That tells me buyers are still active in premium pockets, but overall market momentum is cooling.

Second, note the changing negotiation dynamics. In many zip codes, the gap between original asking price and final sales price has widened, meaning sellers are having to reduce expectations more than they did last year. For instance, 78725 shows an original-to-asking discount of -7.94% (compared to -1.23% last year), and 78730’s discount jumped to -5.81% from -1.65%. Meanwhile, expired listings—a sign of listings that didn’t sell—have mostly dropped, which could mean sellers are adjusting pricing earlier or buyers are still engaged, just more selectively. This is a nuanced market: not a crash, but a clear recalibration. Buyers now have more leverage, while sellers need to price strategically from day one.

If you own a home in any of these zip codes—or are thinking about buying or selling—this is the moment to lean on real, localized data. One-size-fits-all advice won’t cut it. The next step matters more than ever, whether you’re looking to list, upgrade, or find a deal in a shifting landscape. I’d love to prepare a tailored market report for your specific neighborhood and goals.
