A $2.9 million Mediterranean-style estate at 716 North Commons Ford Road topped Austin's luxury trades in the week of October 26, 2026, after selling following 161 days on the market and a $100,000 price cut. Nine single-family homes listed for $2 million or more went under contract that week.
Why it matters
The week's figures show high-end Austin sales continuing despite a notable pause in condo trades. The results offer a snapshot of how upper-tier single-family listings are moving in the city's luxury market.
The estate's 3,500 square feet with four bedrooms and four bathrooms was built in 2000 and sits on more than an acre. The nine-home group totaled $22 million in volume, but the report does not break down buyer financing.
The players

Michael Reisor is a leader of the Reisor Team, a Compass-affiliated group that compiles weekly luxury real estate reports for Austin.
MODUS Real Estate
MODUS Real Estate is a Austin brokerage whose agents Gavin and Hayden Graham held the listing for the topping estate.
The details
The Reisor Team counts homes in Austin and West Lake Hills listed on the MLS for $2 million or more that went under contract during the week. No condos traded that week, the first such week since the team began compiling the report in late September, which Michael Reisor attributes to higher interest rates and rising HOA fees.

Market Pulse
The Reisor Team's weekly luxury series, which began in late September 2026, is the first week-over-week record of this segment and now shows a week with no condo trades. That break in the series points to condo ownership cooling faster than single-family luxury sales in Austin.
For buyers shopping the upper end of the Austin market, the week shows that $2 million-plus single-family homes are still selling even as condo options thin out. Those tracking condo prices should note the absence of trades that week, which could affect negotiating leverage.
The takeaway
Watch whether the lack of condo trades persists in the Reisor Team's coming weekly reports. A continued gap would suggest rate and HOA pressures are reshaping demand toward single-family homes at the top of Austin's market.
