    Frequently Asked Questions

    Answers to the questions we hear most often about buying and selling homes in Austin and Central Texas.

    Buying a Home

    How do I start searching for homes in Central Texas?

    Browse current listings at canadyrealty.com, save your favorites, and set up saved searches so you are notified when new homes match what you want. When you are ready to tour a home, contact a Canady Realty agent and we will schedule it for you.

    How current are the listings on your website?

    Our listings come directly from the ACTRIS MLS through MLS Grid and are refreshed throughout the day, so what you see reflects current market availability rather than outdated data.

    What does it cost to work with a Canady Realty agent as a buyer?

    Buyer representation terms, including any fees, are agreed in writing before you begin touring homes. We will walk you through exactly how it works and answer your questions first, so there are no surprises.

    Selling a Home

    How do I find out what my home is worth?

    You can request a free, no-obligation home valuation on our Home Valuation page. For a more detailed estimate, a Canady Realty agent can prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA) using recent local sales.

    How does Canady Realty market a home for sale?

    Listings are placed in the ACTRIS MLS and syndicated to major real estate websites for broad exposure, supported by professional photography and online marketing. Your agent will review the full marketing plan with you before listing.

    How are real estate commissions handled?

    Real estate commissions are negotiable and are agreed in writing before your home is listed. Your agent will explain the terms clearly so you understand the costs involved.

    Austin Market

    How many homes are for sale in Central Texas right now?

    Canady Realty tracks more than 20,000 active residential listings across Central Texas at any given time through a direct connection to the ACTRIS MLS. This includes single-family homes, condominiums, and townhouses in Austin and surrounding cities such as Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander, Pflugerville, Kyle, Buda, and Dripping Springs.

    What is the median home price in Austin, TX?

    Austin-area home prices vary significantly by location. Central and West Austin neighborhoods typically see median prices of $700,000 and above, while suburban communities like Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, and Pflugerville generally range from $380,000 to $550,000. Cities further out — Kyle, Buda, and Elgin — often offer entry points below $380,000. Canady Realty pulls current pricing directly from ACTRIS MLS data, so the numbers you see on our site reflect real market conditions.

    Is Austin, TX still a seller's market or buyer's market?

    Market conditions in Central Texas shift by area, price point, and season. Canady Realty agents monitor live ACTRIS data daily — including days on market, list-to-sale price ratios, and inventory levels — and can tell you exactly what conditions look like for your specific neighborhood and budget when you are ready to buy or sell.

    How long does it take to buy a home in Austin, TX?

    From accepted offer to closing, a typical Austin-area transaction takes 30 to 45 days, depending on the financing type and any inspections or negotiation. Your total timeline from first search to closing depends on how quickly you find the right property and secure loan approval. Having a pre-approval letter ready before you begin searching significantly speeds up the process.

    What Central Texas cities are growing fastest?

    Georgetown, Liberty Hill, Kyle, and Leander have consistently ranked among the fastest-growing cities in Central Texas over the past decade. Strong job growth in the Austin metro, proximity to major employers, and relatively lower land costs continue to drive construction and demand in these corridors. Canady Realty serves buyers and sellers across all of these markets.
