Regional context
In the broader Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area, closed sales fell 3.2% in 2025, but inventory stabilized and prices normalized. Unlock MLS research advisor Vaike O’Grady noted that after early-year uncertainty due to interest rate sensitivity and high listing volume, the market recalibrated, with buyers returning and sales activity normalizing by December.
With mortgage rates expected to remain around 6%, the local real estate market is projected to stay steady moving forward.
