Key Findings

1. median sold price: unavailable — A reliable neighborhood median sold price cannot be established from the analyzed sample because recent closed-transaction data are extremely limited; this limits precision when using transactional values as the primary market indicator and suggests caution when benchmarking pricing for appraisals or offers.

2. median listing price: $362,500 — Asking prices are centered at this level, while the market shows pronounced selling time pressure with median days on market: 183, which together suggests pricing friction and slower sales velocity rather than rapid turnover.

3. market temperature: cold and price year-over-year trend: down — These combined signals, along with interest rate pressure: elevated, indicate a cooling sales market; additionally, property rate comparison: Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Austin TX 78754 are 6.3% compared to 6.0% for typical loans originated earlier in 2026 underscores higher financing costs that may further depress buyer demand and price recovery down.

4. median market rent: $2,095 and rent year-over-year trend: down — Rents are softening while the sales sample shows elevated inventory relative to sales activity, which may reduce near-term investor demand; monitor rental absorption closely before underwriting buy-and-hold strategies.
