Merry Christmas to you and your family. According to the November 2025 Central Texas Housing Report released by Unlock MLS, pending sales in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA rose 4.5% to 2,269 pending sales, and inventory reached 6.3 months, the highest level recorded in over a year. While prices remained stable—dipping 1.1% year over year to $430,000—closed sales fell 15.9% to 1,895 transactions.

"It is important to remember that November 2024 sales were boosted by the Fed's first cut in interest rates, and mortgage rates moved accordingly. This year's 16% drop appears steeper than it might under typical conditions,” Vaike O'Grady, market research advisor for Unlock MLS, said. “While October’s government shutdown likely impacted November 2025 closings, the 5% year-over-year increase in pending sales is encouraging and shows that motivated buyers are reentering the market.” ***For buyer's and seller's, inventory is up and rates are going down slowly.
