High-End vs Low-End Home Prices: Austin Market Trends

Discover how Austin’s high-end and low-end home prices stack up in our latest report, covering cities and zip codes. Green dots in the PDF below highlight where pricier homes keep or grow their value better than cheaper ones. This analysis shows a market split—low-end homes often face bigger sales drops—helping you make smart choices for buying, selling, or investing in Austin.

Green Dot Disclosure: A green dot next to Price shows that pricier homes (top 25%) had a better year-over-year price change—higher gains or smaller losses—than cheaper homes (bottom 25%). A green dot next to $/SqFt means the same for price per square foot. These dots make it easy to see when high-end homes hold or grow value better. Cities or zips with fewer than 5 sales may show volatile changes.

Austin’s housing market often splits into two stories, called a bifurcated market, and understanding this is key to making smart moves. Even as home sales drop and more homes sit on the market, overall prices can rise because pricier homes—like a $600,000 house in a strong zip code—tend to sell more and hold their value. Cheaper homes, however, often see softer prices and fewer sales, dragging down their segment. The green dots in our PDF reveal this divide, helping you spot where high-end homes (75th percentile) are outperforming lower end homes (25th percentile). Use this resource to uncover Austin’s divided housing market, where high-end homes often hold stronger value than low-end ones, guiding your buying, selling, or investing decisions.
