Leander closed 128 homes in March 2026 at a $457,490 median sale price.

Before diving into what it means, lets look at the full picture.

March 2026 by the Numbers

128 homes closed in Leander last month. Here’s the snapshot:

  • Median Sale Price: $457,490 (-6.6% year-over-year)
  • Average Sale Price: $541,386 (-3.0% YoY)
  • Price Per Square Foot: $198 (-10.0% YoY)

Reading the Leander Numbers

Leander draws buyers with master-planned communities and Red Line commuter rail access. New construction is the dominant supply story.

The Inventory Picture

Leander currently has 535 active listings and 4.5 months of supply at the March 2026 sales pace. Six months of supply is the generally accepted benchmark for a balanced market. Below that is a seller’s market; above it favors buyers.

That puts Leander in balanced territory leaning toward sellers. Well-priced homes are still moving with limited concessions.

Months of Supply by Price Range

Not every price range moves the same way. Here’s how supply breaks down across the market:

Price Range Active Monthly Sales Months of Supply
Under $300K 16 4 4.0
$300K-$500K 235 62 3.8
$500K-$750K 123 38 3.2
$750K-$1M 82 12 6.8
$1M-$1.5M 56 3 18.7
$1.5M+ 21 1 21.0

How Fast Homes Are Selling

The median days on market in Leander was 52 days for closed sales. Correctly priced homes in desirable areas (78641) are still moving in under 30 days; overpriced listings sit longer.

The average days on market was 85 days, which gives a sense of how the slower-moving inventory is performing.

Buyer Negotiating Power

Buyers in Leander are negotiating. Closings came in at 5.3% below asking price on average in March 2026. With a list-to-close ratio of 94.7%, sellers are giving up meaningful ground from their initial ask. That pattern benefits buyers who make offers below list.

The Bigger Picture: Leander Pricing Over Time

The 2024 full-year median was $510,000. The 2025 full-year median was $470,000. The 2026 year-to-date median is $458,745.

Leander has been on a steady price-correction path since 2024. The pace has slowed, but the trend is still down. March 2026 represents another data point in that pattern.
