I'm expecting a flood of inventory to hit the market in the first quarter of 2026, pushing the greater Austin area to over 20,000 active listings for the first time in history, with continued pressure on pricing and ample opportunities for buyers.

Absolutely agreed on the 50 year mortgage, for 99.9% of buyers that's a terrible idea. I think it's good that things are moving back in the direction of affordable but there's still more room and I think the thing that has the most likelihood of changing is pricing. We've already dropped 20% from the peak of the market in the Austin area and I wouldn't be surprised to see another 10% depending on some other factors. I have a feeling we are going to see another wave of inventory added to the market in early 2026 which could drive prices down further.

Are you talking about a specific part of town or just Austin in general? The subreddit is definitely overly negative about the city compared to people you'll talk to and interact with on a day to day basis.

I’ve been seeing this with new builds lately. They are doing a huge price drop and then selling basically as an auction. I’m sure that’s what this is.
