Sell Your Home in Austin
You don't need a complicated process. You need the right agent, the right price, and a plan that gets your home sold. Lets make it happen.
How to Sell a Home in Austin in 2026
Selling a home in Austin right now is not the same game it was two years ago. Inventory across the metro is up roughly 20% year over year, mortgage rates are hovering in the mid-6s, and buyers have more choices than they have had since before the pandemic. That does not mean it is a bad time to sell. It means the strategy matters more than ever.
I have been selling real estate in Austin since 2007. Over that time I have helped more than 2,000 buyers and sellers close on properties worth over $250 million combined. I have seen the market peak in 2021, watched it correct through 2023, and now I am helping sellers navigate this transitional period where pricing strategy is the difference between selling in 30 days and sitting for 90.
The Austin market is not one market. Selling a home in Bee Cave is different from selling in Round Rock. A custom home on acreage in Dripping Springs needs a completely different approach than a starter home in Pflugerville. Septic systems, well water, MUD and PID tax districts, deed restrictions, Hill Country terrain considerations: these are all things a good listing agent needs to understand and price around. I know these nuances because I live here and I sell here every day.
Whether you are trying to decide if now is the right time, need to understand what selling will actually cost you, or are ready to get a free home valuation today, this page has everything you need to make a smart decision. And when you are ready to talk, I am right here.

Why 2026 Is a Good Time to Sell
Inventory is up about 20% from last year, which sounds scary until you realize what that means: buyers are back. More people are shopping, mortgage rates are stabilizing, and homes that are priced right and marketed well are still moving.
The days of slapping a sign in the yard and getting 12 offers are over. But for sellers who prepare their home and work with an agent who knows how to position it, this market has real opportunity.

Common Questions From Sellers
How long does it take to sell a home in Austin right now?
Average days on market in the Austin metro is around 60-80 days as of early 2026. But that number varies a lot by price point and location. Homes under $500K in good condition are moving faster. Custom homes in the Hill Country can take longer. Pricing it right from day one is the single biggest factor.
What does it cost to sell a home in Texas?
Plan for roughly 7-9% of the sale price in total costs. That includes agent commissions, title insurance, closing fees, and any repairs or concessions. Texas has no state income tax, so you won't owe state capital gains. I'll walk you through the numbers before you commit to anything.
Should I make repairs before listing?
Some, yes. Focus on things buyers will see first: curb appeal, paint, flooring, and anything that looks like deferred maintenance. But don't over-improve. A $50K kitchen remodel rarely returns $50K. I'll tell you exactly what's worth fixing and what isn't.
Do I need to stage my home?
Staging helps, but it doesn't have to be expensive. Sometimes it's just decluttering, rearranging furniture, and improving lighting. For vacant homes, professional staging makes a real difference in photos and showings. We'll figure out the right approach for your situation.
What happens if my home doesn't sell?
If a home sits on the market, the price is usually the issue. I'll monitor showing feedback, online interest, and comp activity weekly. If we need to adjust, I'll tell you early, not after 90 days of silence. The goal is to get ahead of problems, not react to them.
