Austin Market Report>August 2026

Austin Market Report · In Progress

City of Austin — August 2026, month-to-date.

Figures below reflect closings on file through Aug 1 – Aug 27, 2026 — the month is not finished, and MLS closings file on a rolling basis, so these numbers will move (mostly upward) as the rest of August reports in. For a settled, complete-month read, see the July 2026 report.

Median price and sales-count YoY compare Aug 1 – Aug 27, 2026, 2026 to the same Aug 1–27 window in 2025 — an apples-to-apples partial-month comparison. Active listings and months of inventory are a live snapshot (Aug 27, 2026); year-over-year for those two starts next August. Active listings ÷ trailing 3-month average of monthly closed sales (May–Jul 2026: 1,125 / 1,113 / 1,032, avg 1,090).

*August bar is partial — through the 27th only.

August is running behind July's completed pace, but the month is only 27 days in — 680 Austin homes, condos, and townhomes had closed by Aug 1 – Aug 27, 2026 at a median price of $560,000, compared to 787 sales at $584,990 over the same window a year ago. Both comparisons will narrow as the remaining days of the month file into the MLS.

Days on market continues to compress meaningfully — down from 48 a year ago to 36.5 so far this month. With 4,544 active listings against a trailing three-month closing pace of roughly 1,090 per month, current supply sits at about 4.2 months.
