What is the Austin housing market doing in July 2026?

The median Austin home is selling at $601,496, or $297 per square foot. At 4.8 months of supply, the market still leans toward sellers, since anything under six months of inventory does. But the margin is thin: homes priced to current comps move, and homes priced to 2022 peaks sit.

Austin home prices and days on market

A median of 37 days on market means a well-priced home goes under contract in about five weeks. Buyers have room to negotiate where a listing has sat past that mark.

The Austin luxury market ($2M+) in July 2026

The top of the market moves on its own clock. Per the Keenan Luxury Market Index, homes closing above $2M run a median of $672 per square foot, up 1.1% year over year, at a median sale price of $2,730,000. They take about 53 days to sell, at 15.3 months of supply. That inventory sits in Westlake Hills, Tarrytown, Barton Creek, Rollingwood, Pemberton Heights, and on Lake Austin. At 15.3 months of supply the luxury market favors buyers, and sellers who price to current comps are still closing at about 91.9% of list.

What it means if you are buying or selling

For sellers: price to what is closing now, not to a 2022 record, and the data says you still sell. Keenan Group's own listings go under contract in a median of 13 days, faster than the market, because we set the price and the marketing to current demand.

For buyers: you have selection and negotiating room, most of all above $2M and on any home listed past the median days on market. Move on the ones priced to today.
