The Austin market is steady as we ease into fall - no major swings, just a healthy rhythm that feels familiar. Even with recent rate cuts, many buyers are still hanging back, watching the market and waiting for the right opportunity. The ones who are jumping in are focused on finding real value, which means sellers have to really shine to capture attention. Well-prepped, well-priced homes are still moving, but it’s clear that presentation and pricing strategy matter more than ever. Overall, it’s a market that rewards intention - smart sellers, patient buyers, and steady confidence as we wrap up the year. And as always, if you’re thinking about your next move, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Design Feature: Reimagining an Austin Landmark
Step inside one of Austin’s oldest homes, reimagined by @hsuoffice into a stunning fusion of heritage and modern design. Set on a rare 1.25-acre lot in Travis Heights, this 1851 gem tells a story nearly two centuries in the making. Hsu preserved the home’s original brick foundation and Victorian charm while adding glass-walled living spaces, a sculptural staircase, and even a rooftop widow’s walk with city views. Every corner reveals layers of history, from charred beams repurposed into a spa-like bathroom to fossils and artifacts discovered during restoration. Outside, native landscaping and a green-roof cabana create a serene, tucked-away retreat just steps from South Congress. It’s a breathtaking balance of preservation and progress - a living timeline of Austin itself.

August 2025 Market Stats are in!
Pending sales jumped 8.2% in August — the fourth straight month of year-over-year growth — showing that buyer activity is on the rise as we head into fall. The median home price held steady at $444,490, keeping the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos market healthy and balanced for both buyers and sellers. Active listings are up 13% compared to last year, though inventory is trending slightly lower month-over-month, signaling steady demand.
We’re already seeing buyer activity pick up since news of potential mortgage rate reductions earlier this month, and we expect that momentum to continue into the fall season. Our team has some exciting new listings lined up and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Design Feature: East Austin’s Canyon-Inspired Modern Home
Step inside the Haskell Residence, a modern masterpiece by Minguell-McQuary Architects & Builders. This three-story home bends and flows like a natural formation, with curves, layers, and level changes that mimic canyon walls. Thoughtful design elements — from elevated patios that capture park views to netted indoor hammocks and a rooftop terrace — make every corner a discovery. It’s a home where light, landscape, and architecture come together in perfect harmony.
