In the 90 days ending September 8, 2026, 147 homes sold in ZIP 78653 at a median sale price of $330,000, in a median 49 days on the market, at 94.6% of their initial asking price. On September 9, 2026, 367 homes were for sale in the ZIP, which is 7.5 months of inventory against 5.4 for the Austin metro. Chris’s rule for reading that last figure is that months of supply is the number to watch, and that the right company sells faster than the average listing.
In the 90 days ending September 8, 2026, 147 homes sold in 78653 at a median $330,000, in a median 49 days, at 94.6% of their initial asking price, and 367 were for sale on September 9, 2026, which is 7.5 months of inventory against 5.4 in the Austin metro. Supply is where 78653 separates from the metro; speed and the price ratio sit next to it, 49 days against 48 and 94.6% against 94.9%. What changes the reading for you is your price range, because months of inventory in the ZIP run from 4.6 between $200,000 and $249,999 to 9.6 between $400,000 and $449,999.

Read across a row and both periods are in it. Above $420,000 and on acreage the counts are too thin for a comparison of this kind, so those rows live on should you sell acreage or a higher-priced home in Manor now, or wait?

Chris’s position, WIR positions library, approved September 9, 2026.
Months of supply is the number I watch. It means: if no more homes came on the market, how long would it take to sell everything listed at the pace homes are selling now. Seven-plus months sounds bad and for the average listing it is. The right company sells a lot faster than the average listing.
For the 90 days ending September 8, 2026, 78653 measured 7.5, and the Austin metro 5.4.
