Median home price helps us see the distribution of homes sold and does not really give us an indication of the increase or decrease in a particular home’s market value. To analyze market value, we’d have to take an in depth look at a neighborhood. If you’re looking for something like that, please check out our Austin Home Values Report.
2% Increase in the Number of Homes on the Luxury Market
In February 2019, there were 680 luxury homes for sale in the Austin area, compared to 665 in February 2018, marking a 2% (15 home) increase in year over year numbers.

In February 2019 there were 34 luxury homes taken off the market compared to 31 in February 2018, showing a 10% (3 home) increase in year over year numbers. Though we saw an increase in year over year numbers, we saw a significant decrease in homes taken off the market since winter, which is what we would expect as we head into the busier spring market.
