Austin real estate news from Doreen for March is here. In February, median home prices dropped 12.2% to $439,419 year over year, according to the Austin Board of REALTORS® latest Central Texas Housing Report. Despite the price decrease, monthly housing inventory stayed relatively flat at 2.6 months of inventory from 2.7 in January 2023, demonstrating that this market is still in need of more housing as the industry standard is that six months of available inventory is considered a balanced market between buyers and sellers.
