Now, let’s take a look at what happened in the Austin metro real estate market in June 2025.

Key Takeaways from June 2025

• Total closed sales increased by 5% Year-Over-Year — the strongest we've seen all year.

• Under contract and pending sales were flat Year-Over-Year, a shift from recent spring increases.

• Active listings jumped 15.9%, continuing a trend we’ve seen all year.

• Months of Inventory (MOI) increased to 5.4, up 23% Year-Over-Year.

• Prices remained stable, with average sold price up 2%, while median $/sq ft declined 4.7%.

Average and Median Pricing Remains Stable

Prices have now been stable for nearly 24 months, with very little movement in either direction. Average sold prices rose just 2% Year-Over-Year, while the median sold price per square foot dipped slightly. The chart shows a relatively flat pricing trend from June 2024 through June 2025.

Pending Units Follow Predictable Seasonal Curve

As is typical for Austin, pending units peaked in April/May and are now trending downward into the slower summer and fall seasons. The 2025 pending curve nearly mirrors 2024 and the historical average, indicating predictable seasonal behavior.

New Listings Begin to Normalize

After a surge of new listings this spring, we’re now seeing that trend slow. This is also seasonal — sellers often wait until after summer vacation and the school year starts again to list properties. That said, Year-Over-Year active listings are still up nearly 16%, contributing to higher inventory levels.

Total Sales Volume & Market Activity Remains Consistent

While pending activity is flat and MOI is rising, sales are still up 5% Year-Over-Year, keeping volume strong. This is a good sign for sellers, especially considering the higher inventory environment.

Mortgage Rates Begin to Tick Down

Rates have gently declined from just over 7% to around 6.8%, which could help nudge hesitant buyers off the fence. While this isn’t a huge drop, any softening in rates helps both demand and affordability.

Stock Market Confidence Remains High

The Fear and Greed Index has moved into “Extreme Greed”, showing continued bullish investor sentiment. This confidence often correlates with increased spending, including on real estate.

Job Market Shows Signs of Life

For the first time in over 2 years, job postings are up Year-Over-Year, increasing 5% from June 2024.

While this is just one data point, it’s a promising sign after a long period of sluggish job creation in Austin. A stronger job market brings more relocations and move-up buyers — two key drivers of demand.

If You’re a Buyer

This market offers you options — and that’s powerful. With inventory rising and prices stable, you have the flexibility to take your time and find the right fit. If rates continue to ease, it will further improve your purchasing power. It’s a good time to buy if you’re planning to stay put for at least 3–5 years.

If You’re a Seller

You can absolutely sell in this market, but pricing is critical. Buyers have choices, so make sure your home shows well, is priced competitively, and is marketed properly. Seasonality suggests we’ll see a further slowdown heading into fall, so timing your listing soon might be wise.
