The big news as of October 18, 2026: Cedar Park is moving against the national trend. Realtor.com reported that for-sale listings across the U.S. were up nearly 7% year over year in mid-October. Here in Cedar Park, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 280 homes for sale in ZIP 78613 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 18.4% from a year before. Sellers here face less competition than sellers almost anywhere else in the country right now.

What tight supply means for you

The Real Estate Data Aggregator measured 3.6 months of supply in ZIP 78613 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 1.2 months from the same period a year ago. A lower supply number means fewer choices for buyers. It also means sellers have a smaller crowd to compete against.

That said, not every home sold fast. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median days on market at 49 days for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is 5 days shorter than a year before, which is progress. Still, about half of homes took longer than 49 days. Pricing well matters.

Prices edged up, and homes are getting closer to asking

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in ZIP 78613 at $497,450 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 3.2% from the same three months in 2025. Prices did not leap, but they did not slip either.

Homes sold for an average of 97.7% of their list price, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is up 0.4 points from a year before. Just 11.3% of homes sold above list price, up 1.3 points from last year. Most homes are selling close to, but not over, asking.

The national picture adds context

Freddie Mac reported that the 30-year fixed mortgage averaged 7.40% as of October 15, 2026. The 15-year fixed averaged 6.71% the same day. Rates at that level slow buyers down everywhere.

The National Association of Realtors reported that existing-home sales across the U.S. reached 3.99 million units in September 2026. National prices were up just 1.3% that month, according to the same source. Cedar Park's 3.2% price gain, measured by the Real Estate Data Aggregator, is running ahead of that national figure.

Nearly 27% of Cedar Park homes went under contract within two weeks of listing, the Real Estate Data Aggregator found. That is up 0.7 points from a year before. So while most homes do take some time, a well-priced home can move quickly.

One more thing worth knowing: one street can read very differently from the whole ZIP code. The numbers above cover all of 78613. Your block, your floor plan and your price range may tell a different story. Reach out and we can look at what is happening closest to you.
