78641 closed 395 homes at a median $470,000 in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 and held 663 for sale on September 21, 2026, which is 5.0 months of inventory. Inside the ZIP, the MLS city of Leander closed 385 at a median $464,990 with 643 for sale. Each carries a seller’s-market label under WIR’s rule, a label for that geography overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in.
Leander measured 5.0 months of inventory against 5.6 for the Austin metro in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, a seller’s-market label for the town overall under WIR’s rule while the metro reads balanced. Of the 643 homes for sale on September 21, 2026, 403 already ask under their original price (62.7%). The pace and the pricing answer different questions, and the band table below is where a homeowner finds their own row.

The wider Leander story is on the Leander, 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.
Leander closed 385 homes in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 and had 643 listed on September 21, 2026. Divide the listings by a month of that sales pace and the answer is 5.0 months of inventory, against 5.6 for the Austin metro. These tables are refreshed monthly from the same MLS store. The WIR labels Table 1 prints are for the town and for the metro overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in.

The right-hand column of Table 1 says which page argues each row. Speed: a median 46 days to contract here against 50 across the metro, with 145 of the closings inside 30 days and 98 past 90, pulled apart on the why-homes-are-not-selling page.
Discipline on price: 95.6% of original asking against the metro’s 94.8%, and 67 closings (17.4%) at or above the first number, read on the worth page. Supply in motion: 543 new listings in the period, 54 active under contract and 87 pending on September 21, 2026, which is what the sell-now-or-wait page leans on.
One row argues with the others. 403 of the 643 homes for sale (62.7%) ask under their original price, against 57.3% across the metro, at a median asking of $519,995 after a median 61 days listed. Who set those asking prices is on the competition page.
78641 is wider than the city. The ZIP counts 395 closings and 663 homes for sale where MLS Leander counts 385 and 643, because addresses carrying another city name sit inside the same boundary. At 5.0 months it holds the same seller’s-market label, which belongs to the ZIP as a whole, and a price point changes which market a home is in.

Through the middle of the market it holds, and higher up it stops. Each band’s label covers that band alone, a price point changes which market a home is in, and where a band closed fewer than ten homes in the period Table 5 reads that row on the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 instead and marks it thin.
Table 5. Leander by price band, Residential; closings by sale price (90 days ending September 20, 2026), actives by asking price (as of September 21, 2026). 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.

Each figure here describes a group, and Leander’s groups have little in common. A Larkspur resale at a median build year of 2020 and a $375,000 median over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 sits inside the same 5.0 months as a Travisso house at an $810,000 median with 31 more listed behind it. Your address is one of the 643, in one band, with a builder either two streets away or nowhere near it. How many of those 643 would a buyer at your price actually walk through?

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.
Leander measured 5.0 months for the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 and the Austin metro 5.6; 78641 measured 5.0 on the same basis and 4.8 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. Each of those is the figure for the average listing in that geography, and a price point changes which market a home is in.
