What moved.
Three publishers measure this market and they do not agree with each other. Rather than pick the number that flatters a listing presentation, this page prints all of them, updated automatically — last refreshed 2026-11-02.
Where the sources disagree.
All of these are correct. They measure different populations over different windows, which is exactly why quoting any single one as “the Austin number” is misleading — and why the width of the gap is worth more than the figure at the middle of it.
How many homes are for sale
21.7% apart- 14,709Zillow Research
- 14,381Redfin Data Center
- 12,083Realtor.com
They are not even pointing the same way this month. When the publishers split on direction, no single figure is worth acting on by itself.
Each publisher draws its own boundary around the Austin metro and each counts a slightly different set of listing statuses. The direction is worth more than any single count.
How long a home sits
12.5% apart- 90 daysZillow Research
- 85 daysRedfin Data Center
- 80 daysRealtor.com
They are not even pointing the same way this month. When the publishers split on direction, no single figure is worth acting on by itself.
Zillow counts days to pending, Redfin counts to close, and Realtor.com counts days the listing stayed active. Three definitions, so three numbers — the spread is the definition gap, not a contradiction.
What a home costs
7.8% apart- $446,450Realtor.com
- $416,788Redfin Data Center
- $414,273Zillow Research
They are not even pointing the same way this month. When the publishers split on direction, no single figure is worth acting on by itself.
These are three different questions: what every home standing is modeled at, what homes actually closed for, and what sellers are asking. They are not versions of one number and should never be averaged.
3 figures moved by more than 5%.
Month over month, as published. No forecast is attached and no reason is given, because we would be inventing one — a number moving is a fact, why it moved is a story.

And what barely moved.
Under 5% month over month. Included because a page that only ever reports movement makes a flat market look like an eventful one.

When the numbers move.
No commentary, no forecast, no “now is a great time” — the same figures on this page, when they change enough to be worth an email.
Every figure is fetched on a schedule from a published, free dataset and validated before it can appear — a value that fails a sanity check stops the update rather than shipping. Nothing here is typed by hand, which is why it cannot go stale, and also why it will never contain a figure we cannot point at a source for.

None of this is an appraisal, none of it is Unlock MLS data, and none of it is advice about whether to buy or sell. Texas does not publish sale prices; where a sold figure appears above it is a publisher’s own estimate, labeled as theirs. For what a specific home is worth, the valuation page shows its working, and an agent can tell you the rest.
