      Austin Real Estate Market Update – May 13, 2025

      Austin’s housing market update for May 13, 2025, shows continued inventory growth and softening buyer engagement. The MLS reports 16,558 active residential listings, up 21.1% from the same time last year and just 58 listings below the record set one day earlier. Within Austin city limits, active listings total 5,270, reflecting a 24.2% year-over-year increase.

      Despite the rise in supply, buyer activity remains limited. The Activity Index has dropped to 23.4%, down 13.6% compared to May 2024. The New Listing to Pending Ratio remains at 0.49, meaning only one in every two new listings is going under contract. This supply-demand imbalance is contributing to a rise in Months of Inventory, now at 5.90 across the region—up 24.3% from last year—and 6.11 in the City of Austin.

      New listings so far this year are tracking 18% above average, while pending contracts are 8.2% below their seasonal norms. The median sold price for May is $485,000, a 6.6% increase from May 2024’s $454,995. However, sold transactions per capita are still 33.7% below average, indicating that while prices remain stable, most of the strength is concentrated in select price segments and well-positioned homes.
