Is it a good time to buy a house in Austin?

For many buyers, yes. There's about 5.4 months of inventory metro-wide, sellers are negotiating, and homes that have been sitting often sell well under their original price. Your timing still depends on your budget, payment and plans.

Are Austin home prices dropping?

Not across the board. The metro median rose 1.4% year over year and the city of Austin rose 4.2%, while Williamson County dipped 2.5%. The bigger change is that overpriced homes are selling for much less than their original list price.

How long are homes taking to sell in Austin?

It depends on the area and price. In my last-30-day MLS search, the median South Austin home took 62 days to sell, while in North Central Austin it was closer to 28 days.
