Round Rock carried a seller’s market label for the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, at 4.5 months of inventory against 5.6 months for the Austin metro. On September 21, 2026, 393 of the 646 Round Rock homes for sale were priced below what they first asked. The label is the town’s overall, a price point changes which market a home is in, and both numbers describe the same market.
Round Rock’s 4.5 months of inventory for the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 is tighter than the Austin metro’s 5.6 months, and the 434 homes that sold went under contract in a median 33 days at 95.7% of their original asking price. That label is the town’s overall and a price point changes which market a home is in: the $300,000 to $349,999 band ran 5.4 months and a seller’s market label, while the $450,000 to $499,999 band ran 5.5 months and a balanced one. What decides your own answer is the price your house would list at, which of the three ZIP codes it sits in, and whether a builder is selling at that price nearby.

It is tighter than the Austin metro on supply and already discounted on price. Round Rock sold 434 homes in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 at a median $400,523, and the 646 homes for sale on September 21 are 4.5 months of inventory: if no more homes came on the market, how long it would take to sell everything listed at the current pace. The Austin metro stood at 5.6 months with a balanced label for the metro overall, and a label of that kind is where a reading starts, because a price point changes which market a home is in.
The three ZIP codes do not share one number. 78681 is the tightest at 4.0 months on 136 closings, 78664 sits at 4.6 months on 125, and 78665 at 4.7 months on 173, and each of those labels belongs to the whole ZIP and not to one house at one price.
What the supply figure leaves out is what sellers have already done to their asking prices. 393 of the 646 homes for sale on September 21, 2026 were below their original asking price, 60.8% of what is listed, against 57.3% across the Austin metro.
Price changes most, and speed moves with it. 78681 closed 136 homes at a median $484,329 in a median 23 days, at 96.6% of original asking, and 124 of its 182 listings were below original asking on September 21. 78664 closed 125 at a median $350,000 in a median 33 days, with 112 of 192 listings below original asking. 78665 closed 173 at a median $389,000 in a median 44 days, and its 273 listings carry 58 builder listings, the heaviest builder presence of the three.
Those ZIP numbers are really subdivision numbers. Avery Centre closed 74 homes at a median $361,995 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 and Salerno 58 at $399,894, both on a median build year of 2025. In 78681, Sauls Ranch East closed 17 at $899,999 and has 14 still for sale.
106 of the 646 listings on September 21, 2026, or 16.4%, under 24 builder names. They ask a median $461,598 and $220 per square foot, while the 540 resale listings ask a median $418,500 and $193. Scott Felder Homes holds 12 of the builder listings, D.R. Horton 10 at $295,000 to $331,190, Coventry Homes 9, David Weekley Homes 8 and Pinehurst Homes 7. Builders hold a larger share of what is for sale than of what sold: 38 of the 434 closings were new builds, 8.8%. Which builder house a buyer at your price would tour the same afternoon is on what is your Round Rock home competing against right now?
NAHB’s August 2026 survey of builders nationally found 35% cutting prices and 63% using incentives, a separate computation from these MLS counts. The one Round Rock community on WIR’s New Construction Inventory sheet, read September 18, 2026, is KB Home’s Classic Collection at Salerno in 78665, published at $324,995 to $477,998 with at least 2 move-in-ready specs and no advertised rate.
Lower on every comparison the records support. Over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 the median sale price was $399,990 against $420,000 in the prior twelve months, down 4.8%. On the 90-day basis the median was $400,523 against $419,350 in the same 90 days of 2025, down 4.5%.
Each of those lines is one period measured beside another, and WIR does not forecast where the next one lands. What a lower town median means for one house is the question on what is your Round Rock home worth next to a brand-new house?
This is WIR’s read, in the order the figures support it. Pricing to last year’s number comes first: 393 of the 646 listings on September 21, 2026 had already come down from what they first asked, and the homes that did sell closed at 95.7% of original asking, with 97 of the 434 at or above it. Counting on the median pace comes second: 207 of the 434 sales went under contract in 30 days or less and 86 took more than 90 days. Why a listing lands in that second group is on why aren’t homes selling in Round Rock?
Third is competing with a finished builder house without knowing which one it is. In the $450,000 to $499,999 band, 23 of the 86 listings are new builds and the band ran 5.5 months and a balanced label, a label for that band only. Fourth is the age of the house, since 148 of the 434 homes that sold were built before 2000 and now stand next to a 2025 build.
The decision, once you know roughly what your house would list for. Should you sell your Round Rock home now, or wait? weighs the label, the pipeline and the cuts; 75 listings were active under contract and 84 pending on September 21, 2026. The tables behind every figure above are on Round Rock housing market by ZIP code: 78664, 78665 and 78681.
The case for now is the pace and the pipeline, and it is stronger in some bands than in others. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.
The case for waiting is narrower. It holds if your likely price is between $600,000 and $649,999, where 32 homes were for sale on September 21, 2026 against 16 closings in the 90 days, 6.0 months and a balanced label for that band only, and 25 of the 32 had already cut. As a bet on a better number later it holds nothing, because the twelve-month median was $399,990 against $420,000 in the prior twelve months. The long version is on should you sell your Round Rock home now, or wait?
A market report describes a town of three ZIP codes and 646 listings. You are selling one house, at one price, to the buyers shopping that price in the weeks you are listed, and some of them can walk a 2025 build in Avery Centre the same afternoon. So: at the price your home would list for today, who else is standing in front of that buyer, and what does your house have that a builder’s does not?
Every figure above belongs to the town or to a ZIP, and whether Round Rock’s 4.5 months and its 393 cut listings help you or cost you comes down to your street, your price and the condition of the house.

No obligation. The report for your part of Round Rock arrives within a minute; the pricing analysis comes after we walk the home. Nothing here promises a price, a timeline, or an outcome. 35 homes sold by Watters International Realty in Round Rock since August 2024 (Unlock MLS).
Chris Watters’s position, stated September 9, 2026. WIR does not forecast prices; the figures on this page are one period’s measurements.
There is pent-up demand in the market. Tons of buyers on the sidelines not purchasing. This is because there is a lack of alignment between the sellers’ personal wants and what a buyer can afford. Affordability has been severely impacted because of interest rates. Interest rates and home prices move in opposite directions in most instances. However, unlike Wall Street, the market is not that fluid. But in reality, it should be.
In Round Rock that alignment gap shows up as 393 of the 646 homes for sale on September 21, 2026 already priced below what they first asked, in a town that still carried a seller’s market label at 4.5 months for the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, a label for the town overall.
Watters International Realty is a Texas real estate brokerage based in Austin, with Chris Watters as broker of record. This page is written from ACTRIS data pulled through MLS Grid and analyzed by WIR on September 21, 2026, and from the WIR New Construction Inventory sheet read September 18, 2026. 35 homes sold by Watters International Realty in Round Rock since August 2024 (Unlock MLS), 6 of them in the trailing twelve months, with 5 listed now. What is not on file is stated too: the inventory sheet carries one Round Rock community, so no published range or incentive appears for the other builder names on the MLS; no Round Rock subdivision has a page of its own yet; and the $800,000 to $849,999 band closed 4 homes in the 90 days, under the publishing floor, so it is read on the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 wherever it appears in this cluster.
You get the competition in your part of Round Rock, the builder inventory a buyer at your price can tour, and a sell now or wait read for your timeline.
