Austin Home Appreciation 2025

Austin-Area Home Appreciation Trends: 2024 to 2025

The most recent data on home price appreciation across Central Texas cities shows a split market between gains and declines. Out of 30 tracked cities, 9 recorded year-over-year increases in average sold price while 21 saw decreases from 2024 to 2025.

Austin’s average sold price rose from $752,540 in 2024 to $770,485 in 2025, reflecting a 2.4 percent gain. Over the longer horizon, Austin has seen a 253 percent increase in average prices since 2000, translating to an annual compound growth rate of 5.2 percent. Median sold prices also ticked higher, moving from $572,400 to $580,000, a 1.3 percent increase year over year. This dual movement in both average and median prices suggests relative stability at the core of the Austin market despite regional variability.

Some surrounding cities posted stronger growth. Driftwood recorded the highest average price appreciation at 4.2 percent year over year, with average prices climbing from $1,108,378 to $1,155,029. Marble Falls led all markets in year-over-year average appreciation, rising 24.7 percent to $570,132. Median prices in Driftwood also surged 19.4 percent, the strongest increase in the region, while Marble Falls saw an 8.9 percent median rise to $389,990.

Other markets showed modest positive movement. San Marcos recorded a 3.2 percent increase in average price to $401,420 and a 3.5 percent rise in median price to $352,049. Del Valle improved by 2.9 percent on average and 2.4 percent in median terms. Cedar Park’s average prices were nearly flat, down 0.2 percent year over year, while median prices rose 2.8 percent. Liberty Hill posted a small 0.8 percent gain in average prices but a 0.6 percent median decline.

Declining markets were widespread. Burnet fell 13.7 percent in average prices to $477,913 and 17.8 percent in median prices to $340,000, ranking among the steepest drops. Manchaca saw a 23.3 percent decline in average prices and an 8.2 percent median decline, while Dale posted a 17.6 percent average decrease. Leander, one of the region’s fastest-growing areas over the long term, recorded a 6.5 percent decline in average prices and a 7.0 percent drop in median values year over year. Wimberley followed a similar trend with an 8.0 percent decline in average and 8.3 percent in median prices.

​

The overall region reflected a slight negative movement in home prices from 2024 to 2025, with the average appreciation across cities down 2.0 percent and the median down 2.1 percent. These figures highlight a cooling trend after years of rapid growth, though the presence of growth pockets such as Driftwood, Marble Falls, and San Marcos shows that demand remains uneven. For buyers and sellers, this data underscores the importance of analyzing city-level trends rather than relying solely on broader averages.
