Central Austin.
Hyde Park, North Loop and the blocks around the university. Pre-war bungalows on small lots, a high share of duplex and converted-multifamily product, and the shortest bicycle commute to campus of any area we cover.

Two sources. Not one.
Refreshed weekly and dated. Where they disagree, that disagreement is the useful part — so we publish it instead of averaging it away.
Homes here are modeled at $545,809 while the ones currently listed are asking a median of $546,000 — a spread worth knowing before you write an offer.
Zillow models every home in these ZIPs; Realtor.com takes the median of the homes currently listed. Part of any gap is seller pricing and part is that active inventory is not a representative sample of the area.
