Eleven Oaks Realty is proud to present their August 2025 Austin Real Estate Price Report measuring activity in the single family home market.
Austin is Has Dipped Back In To Seller’s Market Territory
Though we typically see fewer sales and activity in August, it seems this year is a little different. For the past few months the Austin real estate market has been a balanced market and in August we saw it dip down into seller’s market territory. Though at the upper end of the spectrum, still a seller’s market nonetheless. In August 2025, there was 5.15 months of inventory on the market, down 8.69% in month over month comparisons. The average sold to list price was 96.5%, down 0.18% in month over month comparisons. The median time to sell a single family home in Austin in August 2025 was 49 days, up 48.48% in month over month comparisons. The median sold price was $624, 271, up 1.51% in month over month comparisons.
What the Numbers Mean for Buyers
For buyers, the August 2025 data presents a mixed picture:
- More inventory, more options: With 3,513 active listings (a 9.1% YoY increase), buyers have more choices than they did last year. Even though inventory dipped slightly from July, conditions are still less competitive than the hyper-seller markets of 2021–2022.
- Slight price growth, but slower pace: The median sold price rose 2% year-over-year to $624,271, which is a modest increase compared to previous double-digit gains. That suggests the market is stabilizing.
- More time to decide: Median days on market jumped to 49, up 14% YoY and nearly 50% MoM. This means buyers don’t have to rush into offers as quickly, giving them more leverage to negotiate.
- Price per square foot is softening: The $295 median price per sqft marks a 3.6% decline from last year, offering buyers slightly better value.
Buyer Action Items
- Negotiate strategically: With homes taking longer to sell and sellers averaging 96.5% of list price, buyers should push for concessions (closing costs, repairs, rate buydowns).
- Focus on value: Target homes with longer days on market or price reductions—these sellers may be more motivated.
- Get financing locked in: Even small rate drops can save thousands. Work with a broker who can shop multiple lenders.
- Move quickly on quality homes: While many listings are sitting, the best-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods still sell fast.
What the Numbers Mean for Sellers
For sellers, the market is still in your favor—but only if you price and present strategically:
- Median price still climbing: At $624,271, values are holding up, showing resilience despite higher inventory.
- Slower pace to close: With median time to sell up to 49 days, sellers should expect longer timelines.
- Buyers are choosier: The 8% drop in median active list price indicates sellers who overprice are being forced to adjust.
- Still a seller’s market (barely): At 5.15 months of inventory, Austin remains in seller’s market territory, though at the upper edge of balance.
Seller Action Items
- Price realistically: Ignore 2021–2022 numbers. Today’s buyers have more choices and are resisting inflated prices.
- Invest in presentation: Staging, fresh paint, and professional photography can set your listing apart when buyers are picky.
- Be prepared to negotiate: Buyers expect concessions. Budget for them upfront.
- Leverage demand in hot pockets: Well-located, move-in-ready homes still sell quickly—price competitively to drive multiple offers.

Time to Buy? Sell?
As we always say, the best time to buy or sell a home is when you need to. If you have a house to buy, entering the market in a seller’s market may feel challenging, but remember you’ll also benefit on the selling side. If you’re a first-time buyer, the only way to know we’ve “hit bottom” is when it’s already in the rear-view mirror. The key is working with professionals who can help you align your financial goals and lifestyle needs with today’s conditions.
For Buyers
In August 2025, buyers gained more leverage than they’ve had in years. Inventory rose 9% compared to last year, and homes are sitting on the market longer—49 days on average, up nearly 50% from July. Sellers are closing at 96.5% of their list price, meaning buyers have room to negotiate. Median sold prices are up just 2% year-over-year, and price per square foot has dipped 3.6%, signaling a slowdown in appreciation.
If you’re looking to buy, now is an opportune time to secure a home with less competition and more choices. Get with a knowledgeable mortgage broker who can help you minimize your monthly payment, and partner with a Realtor who understands which sellers are most motivated. While some listings linger, the best homes still move quickly—so be ready to act when the right one comes along. For more info about buying a home, visit Buy a Home in Austin.
For Sellers
Though the market has tilted slightly toward buyers, Austin remains in seller’s market territory with 5.15 months of inventory. Median prices are holding strong at $624,271, up 2% from last year, and sales volume has climbed 2.2%. But buyers are choosier, and the median active list price dropped 8% compared to last year. Homes that are priced right and presented well are still selling, while overpriced listings are sitting and seeing reductions.
If you need to sell, focus on preparation and pricing. Stage your home, take care of repairs, and work with a Realtor who knows how to position your property against the competition. Price for today’s reality—not 2022’s market—and you’ll be rewarded with a faster sale and stronger offers.
