At Holley Homes Realty, we keep a close eye on the Austin, Texas real estate market every single day.

Let’s take a look at what’s moving the market this month.

Inventory Is Up, But So Is Buyer Activity

After a tight couple of years, inventory in the Austin housing market is finally starting to catch up.

• Listings are up year-over-year across Travis, Hays, and Williamson Counties.
• New construction is helping ease pressure, especially in places like Georgetown, Leander, and east of I-35.
• Price reductions are happening in some neighborhoods, but well-priced homes are still moving.

The key takeaway? Buyers have more choices—but competition hasn’t disappeared.

Mortgage Rates: Still the Biggest Wild Card

Interest rates remain the most talked-about factor in the market.

• Rates have hovered between 6.5% and 7% this month.
• Some lenders are offering temporary rate buydowns or builder incentives to keep monthly payments manageable.
• Buyers with strong credit scores can still secure great loan terms.

As always, Holley Homes Realty connects buyers with trusted local lenders who understand the Austin, Texas market and can help you explore creative options.

• Buda: $399,000
• Kyle: $375,000
• Liberty Hill: $460,000
