Things to know

Austin real estate, answered.

Common questions from people buying or selling in the Austin, TX metro.

  • What is the median home price in Austin, TX?
    The median list price for a single-family home in the Austin, TX metro is tracked live on CurbScout from ACTRIS MLS data and typically sits in the mid-$400,000s to mid-$500,000s as of 2026, with significant variation by county. Travis County (including the City of Austin) skews higher, while Bastrop and Caldwell counties are the most affordable entry points. Use the county and city browse pages to see current median prices for any specific area.
  • What are the best neighborhoods in Austin for families?
    Austin-area neighborhoods with strong public schools and family amenities include Circle C Ranch and Mueller inside the City of Austin, Steiner Ranch and Lake Pointe around Lake Travis, Brushy Creek and Anderson Mill in Williamson County, and Belterra and Rough Hollow near Dripping Springs and Lakeway. Scout can compare any two neighborhoods on schools, price, commute, and walkability.
  • How much are property taxes in the Austin metro?
    Texas has no state income tax, but property taxes are among the highest in the country. Effective property tax rates in the Austin metro typically range from about 1.8% to 2.6% of assessed value depending on county, city, school district, and MUD (municipal utility district). Travis County rates are usually lower than Williamson or Hays County rates once you layer in MUDs, but specific neighborhood-level tax rates can vary significantly. Always check the current rate on any listing before writing an offer.
  • What is the Austin housing market like right now?
    The Austin real estate market shifted significantly from the 2020–2022 boom. Active inventory is higher, days on market are longer, and sellers are negotiating again — but demand for well-priced homes in top school districts and walkable neighborhoods remains strong. Scout pulls live stats from the ACTRIS MLS every day, so you can check current inventory, median days on market, and price trends for any Austin-area city, ZIP, or neighborhood.
  • Which school districts serve the Austin metro?

CurbScout lets you search homes by school district directly.
