City research
Compare all eight markets.
Austin market research
Austin
- Median sale price
- $542,460
- Median days on market
- 48
Sales activity increased while the three-month median sale price remained below the prior-year level. That combination is consistent with buyers continuing to transact at adjusted prices, not with every Austin submarket moving in the same direction.
Pflugerville market research
Pflugerville
- Median sale price
- $360,284
- Median days on market
- 54
Pflugerville recorded the largest year-over-year median sale-price decline in this eight-city comparison, while May sales increased 15.9%. The market was not frozen. Buyers continued to close, but at a lower citywide median than in the comparable prior-year period.
Round Rock market research
Round Rock
- Median sale price
- $370,273
- Median days on market
- 59
May sales increased 4.8%, while the three-month median sale price declined 6.3% and median market time lengthened by six days. Buyers were still closing, but sellers generally needed to meet a more price-sensitive market.
Georgetown market research
Georgetown
- Median sale price
- $414,752
- Median days on market
- 68
The three-month median sale price declined 3.3%, while May sales increased 10.2% and median market time improved by two days to 68. Buyers were active, but the citywide pace still gave many shoppers time to compare alternatives.
Leander market research
Leander
- Median sale price
- $410,754
- Median days on market
- 67
May sales rose 14.8%, while the three-month median sale price declined 6.4% and median market time increased by 13 days. More homes changed hands, but buyers generally had more time and price sensitivity than a year earlier.
Cedar Park market research
Cedar Park
- Median sale price
- $519,689
- Median days on market
- 41
The three-month median sale price declined 2.0%, May sales increased 2.5%, and the median home sold after 41 days. The market showed relative speed without a broad year-over-year price increase.
Hutto market research
Hutto
- Median sale price
- $344,784
- Median days on market
- 98
May sales increased 4.4%, while the three-month median sale price declined 4.2%. Median market time reached 98 days, 46 days longer than the comparable prior-year period. Hutto had the longest citywide selling pace among the eight markets reviewed.
Manor market research
Manor
- Median sale price
- $342,290
- Median days on market
- 84
The three-month median sale price declined 3.1%, May sales declined 25.8%, and median market time held at 84 days. Because only 78 homes sold in May, the composition of those closings can move the citywide percentage more sharply than in a larger market.
What buyers should compare
Compare recent closed sales, active competition, property condition, total cash to close, monthly ownership cost, builder incentives, route and toll exposure, insurance, utilities, association documents, special districts, flood information, and intended use.
What sellers should compare
Compare the home with what buyers can purchase now. Review active and pending competition, pricing changes, days on market, property condition, presentation, access, and nearby builder incentives.
What landlords and investors should compare
Start with comparable signed leases and current operating costs. Model vacancy, leasing, management, taxes, insurance, maintenance, capital reserves, association obligations, and a conservative exit.

Texas has no state property tax, but local taxing units set and collect property taxes. Verify the parcel's appraisal record, taxing units, exemptions, special districts, HOA or condominium obligations, utilities, insurance, flood information, title, restrictions, survey, condition, and intended use.
