What does it cost to buy a home in Brentwood right now?

The median Brentwood home sold for $664,000 over the 12 months ending September 2026, across 113 residential sales in the ACTRIS MLS. That is down 0.2% from $665,000 the year before. The median home for sale today is listed at $675,000. Because Brentwood mixes original houses with new construction, the right number for a specific home comes from recent sales of the same age and size nearby.

Over the last 12 months, Brentwood single-family houses sold for a median of $662,500 across 97 sales, and condos sold for a median of $670,000 across 15 sales. The condo figure is close to the house figure, and in central Austin the condo label often covers newer detached or duplex-style homes, so check what each listing actually is. Compare a listing against sales of the same type, age and size, and read the condo declaration before you buy one.

Brentwood is in a balanced market, with about 3.5 months of supply as of September 2026. 42% of homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 96.0% of its original list price. Price cuts are less common than a year ago, when half of sold homes had one, and homes priced to the market move within the 38-day median. Negotiating room depends on how the specific home was priced, not on the neighborhood as a whole.

Measured the same way over the same 12 months, Brentwood had a median sale of $664,000 across 113 sales, compared with $1,056,000 across 134 sales in Rosedale and $925,000 across 121 sales in Allandale. Crestview, to the north, had a median of $627,000. Each median is pulled by its own mix of older houses and new builds, so compare the same home type and size before drawing conclusions.

Set up a saved search inside the Brentwood boundary so new listings reach you the day they list, since the median home goes under contract in 38 days. Decide early if you want an original house or a new build: newer houses sold for more than twice as much. About half the houses that sold were built before 1960, so budget for foundation, sewer line, electrical and tree inspections.

Launching above the recent sales. Over the last year, 42% of Brentwood homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 96.0% of its original list price. The homes that sold fastest launched in line with comparable sales nearby, of the same type and size. For an older house, pricing off the new builds on the same street is the most common version of this mistake. A home that sits and cuts usually ends up below the price a well-set launch would have brought.

The northern part. Brentwood straddles two ZIP codes, and over the last 12 months the 70 sales in 78757 had a median of $740,750, while the 41 sales in 78756 had a median of $550,000. Housing age matters even more: the 52 houses built before 1960 had a median of $547,500, and the 34 built in 2010 or later had a median of $1,212,500. Price a home from the sales of its own type nearby.

The median Brentwood home took 38 days to go under contract over the last 12 months, counted on cumulative days on market so relisted homes are not reset. That is faster than the year before, when the median was 42 days. Add roughly 30 to 45 days from contract to closing. A home priced in line with recent sales on launch day usually beats the median; one that needs a price cut usually takes several months longer.

Brentwood borders Crestview to the north, Allandale to the west across Burnet Road, and Rosedale to the southwest. Measured the same way over the last 12 months, Crestview had a median sale of $627,000, Allandale $925,000 and Rosedale $1,056,000, against $664,000 in Brentwood.

Request a home value from us and we will price it against the Brentwood sales that actually match it: same home type, similar size, age and condition, and nearby streets, from the last 12 months of ACTRIS MLS closings. For context, the neighborhood median was $664,000 across 113 sales, and the typical home closed at 96.0% of its original list price. An online estimate cannot see whether a house is original, remodeled or new, which drives most of the spread here.
