The median price of homes sold in November increased in three of four Round Rock ZIP codes, compared to November 2024, according to data by Unlock MLS.

Overview

As home prices declined, home sales were mixed in November, with two ZIP codes seeing a decrease and two experiencing an increase. Across the city, sales dropped from 169 in November 2024 to 136 last month. At the same time, inventory rose from 4 months of inventory to 5 months, and the average time homes spent on the market rose in three of the four Round Rock ZIP codes.
The decline in prices and sales follows a similar trend in the housing market across the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan statistical area, which saw a 1.1% drop in prices and a 15.9% decline in home sales.
"It is important to remember that November 2024 sales were boosted by the Fed's first cut in interest rates, and mortgage rates moved accordingly. This year's 16% drop appears steeper than it might under typical conditions,” Vaike O’Grady, market research advisor for Unlock MLS, said in a news release. “While October’s government shutdown likely impacted November 2025 closings, the 5% year-over-year increase in pending sales is encouraging and shows that motivated buyers are reentering the market.”

Brandy Wuensch, 2025 Unlock MLS and Austin Board of Realtors president, also said that buyers are entering the housing market with a more strategic mindset as inventory grows and prices remain steady.


“It’s about positioning, not panic,” Wuensch said. “Buyers finally have options, and sellers need to price their homes competitively based on current market conditions. Even though the pace is slower, Austin is still fundamentally strong.”

Williamson County sales and the median prices also dropped, compared to November 2024, by 17.1% and 3.5%, respectively. Pending sales in the county rose by 7.4%.

While pending sales rose throughout the metro, Round Rock differed with a 20.1% decrease in pending sales, or homes under contract.
