Austin Real Estate Trends 2025

What Are the Real Estate Trends for 2025 in Austin, Texas?

Wondering how the Austin housing market is shaping up for 2025? You’re not alone. Buyers, sellers, and investors are watching closely as the market shifts across South Austin, Buda, Kyle, and Bastrop. At Holley Homes Realty, we’re here to break down the data, trends, and local insights so you can make informed decisions—whether you’re buying your first home, selling a longtime property, or relocating to Central Texas.

Why Austin, Buda, and Kyle Remain Hot Markets

According to the Austin Board of Realtors (ABoR), the median home price in Travis County dipped slightly in 2024, down 4.3% year-over-year. But in suburban areas like Buda (78610) and Kyle (78640), prices are stabilizing thanks to population growth, job creation, and new construction inventory.

What’s fueling activity in these areas?

• Affordability shift:
  • Buyers priced out of Austin proper are looking south.
• Inventory increase:
  • Builders like Lennar, Pacesetter, and Perry are adding new homes in Sunfield, Anthem, and 6 Creeks.
• Work-from-home flexibility:
  • More buyers seek larger homes with offices, patios, and outdoor space.
• Proximity to Tesla and SH 130:
  • Eastern suburbs and Buda-Kyle offer short commutes to tech hubs.

Neighborhoods to Watch in 2025 

Here are a few zip codes and community standouts:

• 78748 (South Austin): 
  • Homes in Texas Oaks, Onion Creek, and Buckingham Estates are seeing quicker days on market and competitive pricing.
• 78610 (Buda):
  • Sunfield and Garlic Creek remain popular for their schools, trails, and builder incentives.
• 78640 (Kyle):
  • Crosswinds, Anthem, and 6 Creeks are attracting first-time buyers and move-up families alike.
• 78602 (Bastrop):
  • Pecan Park and The Colony are experiencing rapid growth, thanks to lower prices and their natural beauty.

"We’re seeing a smarter, more value-focused buyer in 2025. It’s not about bidding wars anymore—it’s about smart timing, location, and the right strategy." Brandon Holley, Austin, Texas, Broker:​
