🏡 What This Means for Sellers
For those thinking of selling, inventory levels are the highest they’ve been in recent memory, giving buyers more options and creating a more competitive landscape for sellers. Homes are sitting longer on the market—averaging 76 days in the broader Austin-Round Rock area and 74 in Williamson County—so pricing your home correctly and ensuring it shows well is more important than ever.
As Ashley Jackson, 2024 ABoR President, explained in the April report from Unlock MLS:
“The influx of inventory means buyers have more choices—and that’s good for everyone, because it leads to a healthier, more balanced market.”
While median prices are holding relatively steady month-over-month, they’ve dropped slightly year-over-year in the metro area, meaning sellers may not see the same appreciation as in past years, but the market is still strong and active—especially in Leander and Liberty Hill where demand remains high for well-priced homes.
🔑 What This Means for Buyers
Buyers have more power than they’ve had in several years. With a 19.7% increase in active listings in the metro area and nearly 27% more in Williamson County, there’s greater opportunity to find a home that meets your needs—without the bidding wars we saw during the peak of the pandemic-era market.
Another bit of good news? Even though homes are taking longer to sell, median prices in Leander-area neighborhoods are stable—so buyers have room to negotiate without feeling pressure to overpay. And while interest rates are still fluctuating, the market conditions right now present a window of opportunity.
Unlock MLS CEO Brandy Guthrie summed it up well:
“We’re seeing a normalization that allows both sides of the transaction to breathe a bit. It’s not a buyer’s market or a seller’s market—it’s a balanced market.”
🎯 Local Perspective: Leander & Liberty Hill
In Leander, new developments and strong community infrastructure continue to attract buyers, and we’re still seeing significant interest from families looking to plant roots in top-rated school districts. Homes here are moving more slowly than last year, but that means well-prepared buyers and motivated sellers are finding success.
“We believe that the best outcomes happen when we partner with our clients and focus on what matters most—their lifestyle and long‑term goals, not just the transaction,” say Paul Cummings & Rebekah Cummings of The Cummings Team®.
