Round Rock housing market by ZIP: 78681 sells fastest and cuts most

By Chris Watters, Broker and CEO, Watters International Realty

Round Rock’s three ZIP codes each carried a seller’s-market label in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026: 4.6 months of inventory in 78664, 4.7 in 78665 and 4.0 in 78681. Each label is for that ZIP overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in. The town itself closed 434 homes at a median $400,523 in those 90 days and had 646 for sale on September 21, 2026.

Quick answer

Round Rock measured 4.5 months of inventory against 5.6 for the Austin metro in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, which is a seller’s-market label for the town overall under WIR’s rule. 78681 is the tightest of the three ZIP codes at 4.0 months and 78665 the loosest at 4.7. At the same time 393 of the 646 homes for sale (60.8%) are priced below their original asking price, so the pace and the pricing on this page say two different things to a seller.

The wider Round Rock story is on the Round Rock, TX real estate market report.

Last updated September 21, 2026. Sales data covers the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 and the twelve months ending the same day (Unlock MLS via MLS Grid); listing inventory as of September 21, 2026.

What do Round Rock’s numbers look like next to the Austin metro?

Round Rock closed 434 homes in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 at a median $400,523, and 646 were for sale on September 21, 2026. Those two counts make one measure, 4.5 months of inventory against 5.6 for the Austin metro, which is homes for sale divided by one month of the current sales pace. Under 5.5 months reads seller’s market under WIR’s rule; that label is for the town overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in.

Table 1 sets each measure beside the metro’s and names the page that reads it. The median 33 days to contract sits under the metro’s 50, and 207 of the 434 closings went under contract in 30 days or less while 86 took more than 90; which side a listing lands on is on why aren’t homes selling in Round Rock?

Buyers paid 95.7% of original asking against the metro’s 94.8%, and 97 of the 434 (22.4%) closed at or above the first asking price, which is the ground under what is your Round Rock home worth next to a brand-new house? The pipeline on September 21, 2026 was 75 active under contract and 84 pending, contracts not yet closed, and it is what the case for listing now leans on at should you sell your Round Rock home now, or wait? A further 230 listings ended in those 90 days without a sale, a count read on the why-homes-are-not-selling page.

The last row argues with the first ones: 393 of the 646 homes for sale (60.8%) are below their original asking price, against 57.3% across the metro, at an active median asking of $424,945, and 642 new listings arrived in the same 90 days. Homes go under contract quickly here and most of what is listed has already come off its first number, which the three ZIP codes carry differently.

The twelve months ending September 20, 2026 closed 1,813 homes at a median $399,990, against 1,883 at $420,000 in the prior twelve months (down 4.8%), and $195 per square foot against $207 (down 6.1%).

A seller carrying last year’s number into this one is the subject of what is your Round Rock home worth next to a brand-new house?

How does Round Rock compare with the towns next to it?

Round Rock’s 4.5 months of inventory comes in under Georgetown’s 4.6, Hutto’s 4.9 and Pflugerville’s 5.0 and above Cedar Park’s 3.4 on the 90 days ending September 20, 2026; each label is for that town overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in.

Does the town’s label hold at the price your home would list for?

In most bands it does. Months of inventory ran from 1.7 under $250,000 to 6.0 between $600,000 and $649,999 on the 90 days ending September 20, 2026; each label is for that band only, and a price point changes which market a home is in.

WIR label rule: under 5.5 months seller’s, 5.5 to 6.5 balanced, over 6.5 buyer’s. A band’s label is for that band only, and a price point changes which market a home is in; the 90-day label is published only where the band had at least 10 closings, the twelve-month basis is used and named where it had fewer, and no median is published under 5.

The busiest bands are the tightest. $350,000 to $399,999 closed 81 homes at 3.5 months and $400,000 to $449,999 closed 54 at 3.9, both seller’s market for those bands only, while $450,000 to $499,999 at 5.5 months, $550,000 to $599,999 at 5.7 and $600,000 to $649,999 at 6.0 read balanced. Three bands above $700,000 closed fewer than ten homes in the period, so Table 5 gives those rows on the twelve-month basis and says so.

Builder listings are 106 of the 646 homes for sale (16.4%), from 24 builder names, at a median asking $461,598 against $418,500 across the 540 resale listings. Where they sit band by band is on what is your Round Rock home competing against right now?

The town row describes your home if / it does not if

Which row describes your address depends on the ZIP and the price it would list at, and the two do not always agree. If you want the answer for one home instead of a town average, run your address.

The decision itself belongs to should you sell your Round Rock home now, or wait?

Your situation

Every row on this page is a group: a town, a ZIP, a band, a period. The town row holds an Eggers resale with a median build year of 1977 and a $390,000 twelve-month median, and a Sauls Ranch East house at $899,999, inside the same 4.5 months. So the question for your address is narrower than any row here: at the price your home would carry, how many of the 646 make a buyer’s short list, and how many of those have a builder behind them?

What do these numbers mean for your home?

Reading the town row and assuming it describes your address is how a seller ends up priced against the wrong set of homes. Give us your address and we run the process behind this page against your actual property. You get:

Chris’s position on the scoreboard

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. The right company sells a lot faster than the average listing.

Round Rock’s figure is 4.5 months on the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, and 4.0 to 4.7 across the three ZIP codes. Each is the figure for the average listing in that geography, and a price point changes which market a home is in.
