January 2026 brought notable shifts to the Austin Metro real estate market. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply staying informed, there’s a lot to watch.
In the resale market, sold prices saw a slight dip, with the average at $545,356 (down 3.0%) and the median at $414,699 (down 2.7%). The encouraging news: average days on market dropped 12% to just 93 days — a sign that serious buyers are active and homes are moving with the right strategy.
Across the broader market, we’re seeing balance take shape. The average sold price ticked up slightly to $539,487 (+0.8%), inventory is holding at 5.0 months, and while new listings eased a bit, we remain in a healthy, steady environment.
2026 is already proving to be dynamic and opportunity-filled. Whether you’re preparing to list, planning a purchase, or simply tracking trends, understanding the data gives you an edge.
