The Inventory Picture

Leander currently has 601 active listings and 3.7 months of supply at the April 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 keeps Leander in seller’s market territory. Inventory remains tight relative to demand, especially at the entry-level and mid-range.

Months of Supply by Price Range

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

$500K-$750K 154 41 3.8
$750K-$1M 82 16 5.1
$1M-$1.5M 63 14 4.5
$1.5M+ 29 4 7.2

Buyer Negotiating Power

Buyers in Leander are negotiating. Closings came in at 4.5% below asking price on average in April 2026. With a list-to-close ratio of 95.5%, sellers are giving up meaningful ground from their initial ask. That pattern benefits buyers who make offers below list.
