What It Means for Buyers

If you’re targeting these hot spots, get pre-approved and be ready to act. Competition is softer than spring, but desirable homes still move quickly.

What It Means for Sellers

In these neighborhoods, presentation and pricing remain key. While the broader market is balanced, well-located homes in sought-after areas can still sell fast.

Even as Austin cools, some neighborhoods remain strong performers. Buyers should move quickly in these areas, while sellers can take advantage of steady demand.
