March Market Update in Hays County + What to Expect in April
As we step into spring here in Hays County, the real estate market is doing what it typically does this time of year - but with a few important shifts that buyers and sellers need to understand.
If you’ve been wondering whether now is a good time to buy or sell, here’s what we saw in March -and what it means moving into April.
What Happened in March
March brought a market that feels more balanced and normalized compared to the fast-paced, competitive years we experienced before.
1. Home prices softened slightly
We’re seeing a continued trend of prices adjusting:
Median home prices in Hays County are down slightly year-over-year (around 2–2.5%)
The median listing price recently came in just under $400K
This doesn’t mean the market is crashing - it means it’s stabilizing.
2. Inventory is increasing
There are more homes on the market:
Around 1,300+ active listings in Hays County
Homes are taking longer to sell (over 70–100 days on average)
This gives buyers more options and negotiating power than we’ve seen in years.
3. Homes are selling below list price
About 70% of homes are selling under asking
Sale-to-list price ratios are slightly below 100%
This is a big shift from the multiple-offer, over-asking environment we were used to.
4. A more “normal” market is emerging
The Central Texas market overall is seeing:
More inventory
Slight price corrections
More realistic seller expectations
Even nearby markets like Austin are seeing increased listings and slight price declines as supply catches up to demand…
