No real surprises here, maybe NYC is a bit lower than I thought?

Median sales price tells Austin's story of "affordability".  Whenever I make the point that Austin is a relatively affordable city, I get a ton of pushback from locals.  Yes, prices have climbed a lot over the past couple of decades.  They have done so everywhere.

This stat depends heavily on how you define "city".  Austin is actually the 10th biggest city in the US.  So it makes sense it would also be among the top-10 cities with listings over $1M. 

On the other hand, the Austin metro area is only around the 30th biggest metro area in the US.  If we are a top-10 metro area in $1M listings but only top-30 in size, then that would paint a very different picture.

Yes, but this is based off of percentage, not total numbers.  Houston proper is still larger than Austin proper

I see a ton of listings in the $1M - $1.5M range sitting on the market for months now in Austin.   A lot of it is delusional sellers reaching retirement in older homes who missed their opportunity to sell during the pandemic and are still clinging to hope that they'll sell for a premium that doesn't exist anymore.  Many of these properties are sub $1M in reality.  Most buyers in that range will still be taking out a mortgage, and the prices aren't reflecting the reality of current interest rates.  If you take all of those stupidly priced listings and bring them back to reality Austin might drop out of the top ten.
