According to the latest Unlock MLS report, Georgetown’s residential market showed a softening in October 2026. Median home prices across the city’s three primary ZIP codes were lower than they were in October 2025.
Price trends by ZIP code
All three ZIP codes – 78626, 78628 and 78633 – recorded a decline in median price when measured year‑over‑year. The drop was uniform, indicating that buyers are seeing less purchasing power across the entire Georgetown area.
Sales activity
Home sales followed a similar pattern. The 78628 ZIP code, which includes the historic downtown corridor, posted a decrease in total sales compared with the same month last year. The neighboring 78626 (north‑west Georgetown) and 78633 (south‑east Georgetown) ZIP codes each saw a slight uptick in sales volume, but the gains were not enough to offset the overall decline.
Days on market
Market timing also shifted. In 78626 and 78633, homes stayed on the market longer in October, suggesting that buyers are taking more time to evaluate listings. By contrast, the 78628 area experienced a reduction of almost a month in average days on market, indicating a quicker turnover for the few properties that did sell.
What this means for local families
For Georgetown families considering a move, the dip in median prices could present a modest buying opportunity, especially in neighborhoods where days on market remain high. However, the overall slowdown in sales signals that inventory is still limited, and sellers may need to price more competitively to attract buyers.
Looking ahead
Real‑estate professionals caution that the market’s direction will depend on broader economic factors, including interest‑rate trends and regional employment growth. Georgetown’s strong school districts and proximity to Austin continue to make it an attractive location for families, which could help stabilize prices in the coming months.
Home‑buyers and sellers are encouraged to stay in close contact with their agents and monitor upcoming MLS updates for the latest market signals.
