Executive Summary
Round Rock's single-family housing market remained balanced in July 2026, although conditions became more favorable to buyers compared with June. Active inventory increased 9.6%, while pending listings declined 24.6% and under-contract activity fell 14.0%. Closed sales increased slightly, but they did not keep pace with the expansion in available inventory.
Months of inventory rose from 3.9 months to 4.2 months, while the absorption rate declined from 25.5% to 23.7%. Both measures remained within the defined balanced-market range.
Closed-sale pricing strengthened modestly. The closed median price increased 2.6% to $420,500, and the closed average price rose 3.5% to approximately $483,895. However, active and pending prices declined, market times increased, and seller-paid buyer closing costs rose. These mixed signals suggest that pricing remained resilient among completed sales while negotiating conditions continued to improve for buyers.

Forecasting Prediction
What next month likely looks like
Based on July's data, Round Rock is likely to remain a Balanced Market in August, with continued drift toward buyer-friendlier conditions unless contract activity rebounds.
- Active inventory rose 9.6% while pending fell 24.6% and under contract fell 14.0%.
- Months of inventory increased to 4.2 and absorption eased to 23.7%.
- Withdrawn listings rose 66.7%, signaling more sellers testing the market unsuccessfully.
- Closed pricing still improved, which should keep values from softening sharply.
- Market classification likely remains Balanced.
- Closed volume may flatten or ease given the smaller pending pipeline.
- Days on market and seller-paid concessions may continue to trend higher.
- Accurately priced, well-prepared homes should still sell; buyers hold slightly more leverage than in June.
