On pace to record, sales start The Austin area housing market is cooling a bit, some local real estate agents say. But the region is still on track to set another record for sales this year, the Austin Board of Realtors said Tuesday.

Homes sales and prices were both up in Central Texas last month compared to the prior September, the Austin Board of Realtors said.
The board said 2,576 single-family homes changed hands in September, 1.3 percent more than in September 2015. The median sales price was $275,250, up 7.5 percent year-over-year.
Year-to-date through September, the Austin area logged 22,839 sales, a 3.5 percent increase over the same nine months last year, the board said.
Last year closed with 29,068 single-family home sales, the fifth year in a row of record sales.
