Zooming out
The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan statistical area shows signs of market stability moving into 2025, according to a news release from Unlock MLS. Closed sales dipped 3.2% in 2025, but price points normalized and inventory settled, according to the release.
“Early in the year, we saw the effects of rate sensitivity, price hesitations and a flood of new listings that pushed inventory higher,” Unlock MLS research advisor Vaike O’Grady said in the release. “As the year went on, sellers recalibrated, buyers reengaged and the pace of the market continued to normalize. December 2025 numbers confirmed that shift.”
With mortgage rates slated to stay around 6%, O’Grady expects the market to remain steady.
