Jeff Joseph,

 

Are you wondering what’s happening in the Central Texas real estate market? I’m Jeff Joseph, a Texas REALTOR® brokered with ERA Experts, and I’m here with your June 2025 Market Update. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, these insights will help you make informed decisions.

Inventory Tightens Across Travis, Hays, and Williamson Counties

This month, we saw a noticeable drop in new listings across all three major counties:

  • Travis County: 494 new homes (down 7%)
  • Hays County: 163 new listings (down 8%)
  • Williamson County: 341 new homes (down 11%)

This tightening inventory means more competition for buyers and fewer options on the market.

Closings and Contracts Signal a Cooling Market

Closings also dipped:

  • Travis County: 315 homes sold (down 2%)
  • Hays County: 155 closings (down 7%)
  • Williamson County: 262 closings (down 19%)

Homes under contract and pending sales followed the same trend, with significant drops in Hays and Williamson counties. Many buyers are taking a “wait and see” approach, likely due to current interest rates.

Price Reductions and Expired Listings: What’s Changing?

Price reductions remain common, but the rate of decrease is slowing:

  • Travis County: 995 price drops (down 3%)
  • Hays County: 295 (down 10%)
  • Williamson County: down 14%

Sellers are adjusting expectations and pricing homes more realistically. Expired and withdrawn listings are up in some areas, especially Williamson County, where expired listings jumped 54%. This suggests some sellers are struggling to find buyers at their desired price points and are choosing to wait for better market conditions.

What Does This Mean for You?

For Buyers:
A slowdown in new listings and more price reductions could present opportunities, but less inventory means more competition for well-priced homes.

For Sellers:
It’s crucial to price your home competitively and be prepared for a potentially longer time on the market. Realistic pricing and flexibility are key in today’s shifting market.
