Key Findings

1. median sold price is unavailable in the provided metrics, which likely reflects a very small or incomplete transaction sample for recent sales; because recent sold-price data is not present, rely on listed-price signals and trend indicators to interpret current market value. unavailable

2. median listing price is $530,000, while market indicators show prices are down year‑over‑year, suggesting that asking prices may be adjusting downward to meet weaker transaction levels and create more buyer opportunities.

3. median days on market is 114, which combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity appears consistent with slower sales velocity and increased negotiation time for sellers; pricing friction is likely present rather than rapid liquidity.

4. median price per square foot is $215 and median market rent is $2,050, with rent trends also down year‑over‑year, indicating softer rental comps and limited support from the leasing market for near‑term price strength.

5. market temperature is cold and interest rate pressure is elevated (current average 30‑year fixed ~6.3%), which together with elevated inventory relative to sales activity suggests buyers have negotiating leverage and sellers should consider price or terms concessions to accelerate offers. cold

Key Findings

1. median sold price is not provided in the supplied metrics, so transaction-based market valuation cannot be established from this dataset alone; obtain recent closed sale data (MLS or county records) to ground price-level recommendations.

2. median listing price: $357,450 contrasts with absent sold-price data and, combined with a median days on market: 111, suggests pricing friction and slower sales velocity that may indicate excess seller expectations relative to transacted values.

3. market temperature: cold and the price year-over-year trend being down together indicate weaker demand dynamics; actionable response is to price competitively and expect slower transaction volume and elevated inventory relative to sales activity.

4. median market rent: $1,850 and rent year-over-year trend being down, alongside interest rate pressure being elevated, suggest limited near-term rental upside; note financing context: Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Round Rock, TX, are averaging 6.3%, which is 0.3% lower than the 6.6% average observed earlier in 2026, and this may modestly influence buyer affordability and timing.
