Find the latest Austin, Texas real estate news here. In April, the median home price reached $440,000—1.9% less than April of 2025 Central Texas Housing Report. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA showed a notable shift in buyer confidence this spring as consumers actively re-entered the market during a brief window of lower mortgage rates earlier this year.

In the report, Vaike O’Grady, market research advisor at Unlock MLS, said said April’s housing activity suggests buyers responded quickly when borrowing conditions became more favorable earlier this spring.

“What stands out in April’s data is the shift in buyer psychology and overall market momentum. Many buyers who had been delaying their home search took advantage of the temporary dip in mortgage rates we saw earlier this year and moved quickly once conditions became more manageable. That activity is now showing up in both pending and closed sales data. Buyers are stepping back into the market with more urgency, especially when homes are priced correctly, and pending sales continue to be one of the clearest indicators of where the market is heading. April’s numbers show that confidence is building despite higher borrowing costs and ongoing economic uncertainty.”
