What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 1,641 closed sales in Austin over the last six months, with a median closing price of $525,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. The large tracked sample provides substantial market-level evidence. Across the 1,629 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $242 and $435 per square foot.

From market read to offer price
A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.
And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale, so it cannot be revised once the sale price is known. Grading it is a different matter in Texas: because sale prices are not public record here, a confirmed closing price reaches us for only a small share of Texas homes, and most Texas estimates stay frozen and ungraded. The accuracy scoreboard is therefore a national record rather than a Texas one. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Austin address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
