The Jonestown homes that closed in the three months ending October 15, 2026 mostly came down from their first price. A typical one took 87 days to reach a contract, and only 2 closed at or above their original asking price. In my read, a listing that opens above what those sales support is the one that gets stuck, so the comparison to make is your first price against what the closed homes did with theirs.

Last updated October 16, 2026. Sales data covers the 90 days ending October 15, 2026 and the twelve months ending the same day (Unlock MLS via MLS Grid); listing inventory as of October 16, 2026.
Jonestown homes that sold split into quick sales and slow ones. Eleven took more than 90 days to reach a contract, and 4 reached one within 30 days. Table 1 shows all four groups.

| Days on market | Homes sold |

| 31 to 60 days | 6 |
| 61 to 90 days | 4 |
| More than 90 days | 11 |
The homes now for sale are already deep into that spread: the typical one has been listed 93 days so far, which puts it past the 90-day mark. Jonestown Hills led the past twelve months in closings, so a seller there has the most nearby sales to hold a listing against.
A listing in its second month is not out of line with the record, since 6 homes reached a contract between 31 and 60 days. A listing past three months is in the group that took longest, and that is the point to review the price.
In the three months, 22 Jonestown listings failed to sell, meaning they expired or were withdrawn without a sale. Set against every listing that reached an outcome either way, that is 46.8%, and the Austin metro’s share was 39.9%.
The MLS does not record why any one listing failed, so what follows is my read from the numbers and not a record. The record for the failed listings stops at the listing, so the clearer evidence is how the closed homes behaved.
I cannot compare the failed listings with the closed ones on size, age or condition, because this page’s data carries no size, age or condition for those listings. What the numbers do show is that most buyers paid less than the first price, which makes the first price the figure to test.
Many Jonestown listings have come down from their first price. Each of those sellers has already conceded once, and a new listing is compared with them.
In my read, a cut is a seller adjusting to what the closed sales say, and the listing most at risk of getting stuck is the one that has not adjusted yet. Who else is for sale near you, and at what price, is on Do builders matter to a Jonestown seller when resales make up most closings?
In the three months, the resales that sold closed in a median 80 days at 92.2% of original asking. That is the pace and the discount a resale seller is measured against.

Check the price first, against the closed sales in your price range and your part of town, because the first price is the figure a buyer meets first.
Then look at the showings. A listing past 90 days with showings and no offers is in the group where 11 homes finally reached a contract, and the first thing to test is its price against the closed sales near you, which are deepest in Jonestown Hills.
The MLS holds none of this for a failed listing, so only you and your agent can see it. The walkthrough covers the same checks on your home.
Both can matter, and the numbers separate them only in part. Jonestown is a buyer’s market overall, and a typical sale here took longer than the metro’s 56 days.
Four homes reached a contract within 30 days in the same market, so a fast sale is possible here. What the MLS cannot say is what those four had in common, which is why the walkthrough looks at your house and not at the town. Whether to list now or hold off is on Should you sell your Jonestown home now, or wait while few homes are under contract?
A few things raise or lower the odds, and you can check most of them yourself. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.

Whether your listing is stuck depends on a comparison with the closed homes near you, and most of those are in Jonestown Hills. If your home sits near The Hollows or Lake Sandy, builder listings join that comparison.
Ask it of your own price: where did the closed homes closest to it end, relative to where they started?

Chris’s position, WIR positions library, approved September 9, 2026.
A home that does not sell has a price problem, a promotion problem, or a product problem, and usually the seller was told it was the market. Plenty of homes are marketed badly, by agents who have no system for following up and no system for responding the minute a buyer raises a hand.
The price side shows in Jonestown’s closings: most homes that sold did so below their first price.
