    Austin Housing Market Forecast: When Will Prices Recover?

    Austin Housing Market Forecast: When Will Prices Recover?

    Published 06/04/2025 | Posted by Dan Price

    Austin Real Estate Market Forecast: How Long Will it Take to Recover?

    The Austin housing market has undergone a significant correction since peaking in May 2022. At that time, the median sold price reached $550,000. As of June 2025, that figure has fallen to $450,000—a decline of 18.18% over a three-year period. This drop has been driven by a sustained oversupply of listings, declining buyer absorption rates, and a shift in market sentiment following a period of rapid price escalation. With over 17,000 active listings and a New Listing to Pending Ratio well below historical norms, the market is currently defined by excess inventory and pricing pressure. The question now is: how long will it take for Austin home prices to recover to their previous highs?

    Based on a long-term analysis of Austin’s housing market performance, the 25-year compound annual appreciation rate is 4.981%. Applying this rate to the current median price of $450,000, the market would need approximately 52 months—or until August 2029—to return to the previous peak of $551,386. This projection assumes no further price declines and reflects a consistent annual growth rate compounded over time. The forecast is not speculative but based on historical pricing trends that span multiple housing cycles in the Austin area. While short-term volatility can occur due to external economic factors or changes in interest rates, the long-term trajectory of real estate values in Austin has demonstrated resilience and steady growth.

    This type of projection is useful for both buyers and sellers. Buyers can view the current period as a window of opportunity, particularly given the expanded inventory and downward price adjustments. For sellers, understanding the historical appreciation rate provides clarity on future expectations and helps set realistic timelines for potential price recovery. While no forecast is absolute, and future appreciation is never guaranteed, the historical data used here offers a grounded estimate of when market values may return to peak levels—assuming the correction phase is complete and the recovery phase is underway. Informed by Team Price Real Estate’s proprietary market tracking and appreciation models, this projection is a valuable tool for strategic decision-making in a complex market environment.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What is the long-term appreciation rate for the Austin housing market?

    The Austin housing market has a 25-year compound annual appreciation rate of 4.981%. This figure represents the average year-over-year growth in median home prices from January 2000 through June 2025, accounting for multiple real estate cycles including booms, corrections, and recoveries.

    2. How long will it take for home prices in Austin to return to their peak?

    If the current median sold price of $450,000 represents the bottom of the correction, and if appreciation resumes at the historical rate of 4.981% per year, Austin home prices are projected to reach the previous peak of $551,386 by August 2029. This estimate assumes stable market conditions and does not factor in any further declines or external shocks.

    3. When did Austin home prices reach their peak, and how much have they fallen since then?

    Home prices in Austin peaked in May 2022 with a median sold price of $550,000. As of June 2025, that figure has declined to $450,000, a drop of 18.18%. This decline has occurred over 36 months and reflects a market correction driven by inventory buildup and slowing buyer activity.

    4. Is the Austin housing market expected to recover fully?

    Based on historical data and long-term appreciation trends, the Austin housing market is expected to recover to its prior peak over the next several years. Assuming no additional downturns, and using the 25-year average appreciation rate, the recovery timeline to peak value is estimated at 52 months from June 2025.

    5. Why is historical appreciation important for forecasting real estate prices?

    Historical appreciation provides a data-driven foundation for projecting future prices. While short-term conditions may vary, long-term trends help buyers and sellers estimate how values might evolve over time. In Austin, the consistent 4.981% appreciation rate offers a reliable metric for estimating future market performance when conditions normalize.​
