Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in MLK is relatively high, with 94 active listings in this rolling three-month view and a months-of-supply figure of 7. Buyer activity has strengthened, as homes sold are up about 19 percent year over year and pending sales are up nearly 30 percent. New listings also increased roughly 18 percent from a year ago, suggesting more owners are testing the market even as options for buyers remain plentiful.
Prices are adjusting slowly in response to these conditions. The typical home value of about $550,000 is down a little under 2 percent compared with the same period last year, and the median list price is also slightly lower year over year. Sellers are conceding somewhat on pricing, with the average sale-to-list ratio around 97 percent and only about 5 percent of homes selling above asking.
Homes in MLK are taking longer to go under contract, with the median days on market rising to 77, up modestly from a year ago and noticeably slower than some prior periods. Compared with the broader Austin market, MLK’s home values are slightly higher while inventory is just a bit looser than the city’s roughly six months of supply. These shifts point to more negotiation room for buyers and a need for sharper pricing strategies for sellers, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands these trends.

“I am so incredibly grateful to have had you by my side throughout my first home-buying experience! Buying my first home was such a big milestone for me, and you made the entire process feel so much easier, smoother, and less stressful than I ever imagined. Your patience, guidance, communication, and genuine care meant more to me than you know. I always felt supported, informed, and confident knowing I had you in my corner. Thank you for going above and beyond and for helping make such a special dream come true for me and my family. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to walk me through this journey, and I will always be thankful for the part you played in this exciting new chapter of our lives. You are truly appreciated!”

“Mr. Bell was exceptional through this entire home buying process. I can’t thank him enough for everything that he did. He always reassured me and stayed positive when I was feeling anxious about anything. He was patient and attentive to my needs. Would definitely recommend!”

“We worked with Adrianne Craft and Tiffany Novak on her team twice - in 2021 to purchase our home and in 2026 to sell it. Obviously I was very happy with them when we bought (they showed us multiple properties in several towns, gave us lots of pros and cons info, and guided us through the purchase) which is why I contacted them when we wanted to sell. Due to market conditions, it was far easier to buy in 2021 than to sell in 2026, but they were up front about the reality of what we’d be able to get for our house and the timeline to sell and kept working until the 3rd offer was the charm! They have reliable contacts they can share - for movers, painting, fencing, cleaners, etc. - that are reasonably priced and already vetted. I’d highly recommend working with them!”

“Matt helped me buy my first home in Austin. He answered every first-time-buyer question clearly, and was honest with me about pricing. He also connected me with a great lender, inspector, and insurance broker, and negotiated a price reduction after the inspection. Responsive, patient, and genuinely on my side throughout. Highly recommended.”
Spyglass Realty
“Mike Kelly made the home buying process an easy and enjoyable one. Smart, personable and efficient, he used his knowledge and experience to help us find and purchase the right home for us. He really listened to us, asked relevant questions to pinpoint what we needed and made himself available to answer our questions and address our concerns in a timely manner. In the relatively short time we’ve known him, he’s proven himself to be a truly good, honest and reliable individual. We wholeheartedly recommend him if you’re looking for a realtor who will expend every effort to ensure you’re happy with your results and who will give you the truth but do it with grace and gentle good humor.”
Jorgenson Real Estate
“We absolutely loved working with Jesper and Renee! They made the home-buying process feel relaxed and comfortable from start to finish. They were so easy to work with and genuinely felt like family. We always felt like we had their full attention and that Jesper and Renee truly understood what we were looking for. They were also fantastic negotiators and did an incredible job advocating for us throughout the process. We always felt like they had our best interests in mind and were looking out for us every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Jesper and Renee to anyone looking to buy a home. We’re so grateful to have had them in our corner!”

Shivraj took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and guided me through every step of the process. His responsiveness, attention to detail, and dedication made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I’m extremely grateful for his hard work and support in helping me find a place I’m truly happy to call home. I highly recommend Shivraj Grewal to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and dedicated real estate agent. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients!

“Our second home with Daryl caring for the sale. We have great comfort that he cared for our needs and managed the tough parts of the transaction on our behalf. He allowed us to focus on our move here from out of state. Highly recommend him!”
Advantage Austin Properties Inc
“I can't recommend Reneta enough. As a single first-time homebuyer, I was going through this process completely on my own, so having someone I could trust made all the difference. I knew buying a home would be both exciting and potentially overwhelming, but from day one I felt like Reneta "got me" and she was on my team. She never pushed me to settle or made me feel rushed. She is incredibly honest, flexible with her schedule, and made herself available whenever I wanted to see a house or had questions. She's a great negotiator, and I always felt like she had my best interests in mind. We closed on my home today and I couldn't be more ecstatic. Looking back, I'm so glad we stayed patient and kept searching until we found the right fit. She provided (and continues to provide) a lot of knowledge and resources that are invaluable and she's made me feel like a more intelligent and confident homeowner. I could not have asked for a better realtor, and I'll always be grateful for everything Reneta did to help me through my biggest milestone yet. ”

“Stefan was very thorough and knowledgeable. He communicated very well. He always did price comparisons, made sure to check things I wouldn’t think of on my own. If you’re looking to buy a house this is your guy!”
Spyglass Realty
“The clearest compliment I can give Aubrey is that she made us better buyers, and made a potentially stressful process genuinely enjoyable. She quickly understood not only what we wanted in a home, but how we made decisions. She was patient when we needed time, candid when our assumptions needed challenging, and consistently warm and good-humored through all the inevitable back-and-forth. When we found the right home, her judgment became even more valuable. She explained the contract tradeoffs in plain English, knew when to hold firm and when a counteroffer was fair, moved the inspections forward quickly, and turned a long report into a practical negotiation. She also helped untangle a survey issue, coordinated with our lender and title company, arranged access for kitchen measurements, and remained engaged through the final handover. Aubrey combines professional precision with genuine warmth. We always knew what mattered and what came next, but we never felt pushed. We felt understood, represented, and genuinely cared for. We would choose her again in a heartbeat.”
Douglas Elliman Real Estate
“My spouse and I bought a house with the help of Serina. We knew from the beginning that we wanted Serina as our agent because of the enthusiasm and effort she previously put into helping us find a suitable rental while we were out of state - all without the promise of a large commission. We knew that if Serina was willing to do that for us then she was the right realtor to have on side. Serina proved herself as our buyer’s agent by coordinating 10+ showings in one day, handling communication, giving us recommendations, and always putting our best interests first. We ended up buying a home that we had not planned on touring but Serina was able to get us same-day access so that we could tour the property. Serina always made us a priority on her calendar and she consistently put effort into the little details of our home buying process. I was right to choose Serina as our agent. Serina was always a step ahead and was genuinely excited for us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her to a friend. She deserves her growing list of five-star reviews.”

“Finding Asad in the pool of agents was an absolute miracle. When others relied purely on numbers and algorithms Asad's team was able to set a goal and execute every obstacle that stood in our way. 25 days later I closed on my new house! Asad not only knows the business but is an advocate for his client whether selling or buying.”

“I recently worked with Rick on the sale of my rental property, and he made the entire process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. The completion of the final property closing paperwork was handled efficiently and accurately. Rick’s support navigating the complex repair amendments and non-realty item agreements was exceptional — he clearly explained everything and helped resolve all details without unnecessary delays. His initial handling of the property listing files, title commitments, and comparative market assessments was thorough and professional, giving me complete confidence in the process. Rick demonstrated outstanding professionalism throughout — always responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome. I highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the Austin area. Thank you, Rick!”

“Buying and selling a home can be a stressful, complex process, but with Brendan’s team it felt easy and comfortable. We were recommended and connected with Brendan from a friend who is a realtor in Dallas. From our first meeting, Brendan came to the table with a robust knowledge of the real estate industry, and that immediately put our minds at ease. He patiently educated us at every turn, guiding us step-by-step until we found and purchased a home we truly love. On top of that, his marketing strategy and outreach got our house sold very quickly after listing it on the market. Brendan and his team were simply awesome to work with, maintaining frequent communication and keeping us updated at every milestone. A huge shoutout to Yasmine for property walkthroughs and Devin for running everything behind the scenes! A bonus with working with their team are the many connections they have for home issues, repairs and updating. They are not a “one and done” realty team; they stay in touch and we know we can reach out to them for anything regarding our new home. We highly recommend Brendan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and highly professional realtor!”

“Buying a home from out of town felt overwhelming at first, but Beau made the whole process so much easier. He was always quick to respond, kept me updated, and went above and beyond to help with everything from virtual tours to inspections and local recommendations. I always felt like he had my best interests in mind. I'm so grateful for all of his help and would absolutely recommend Beau to anyone looking to buy a home in Austin!”
