February data shows rise in Pflugerville home sales, decline in Hutto

The Pflugerville housing market saw a year-over-year increase in home sales in February, while Hutto home sales dropped, according to data by Unlock MLS.

The overview: In Pflugerville, 85 homes were sold in February compared to the 67 homes sold in February 2025. The median price of the homes sold were also lower than last year, dropping from a little over $409,000 to close to $395,000 in February.

In Hutto, home sales dropped slightly from 84 to 79 in February, when the median price also rose slightly. Prices rose from around $335,000 to just under $340,000.

The median number of days homes spent on the market increased in both cities. However, similar to the trend seen throughout the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area, the number of pending sales, or homes under contract, rose in both cities—from 174 to 213.

CI Texas
Applications for new Texas education savings accounts close Tuesday, March 17

Families have until 11:59 p.m. March 17 to apply for the first year of Texas’ education savings account program, according to the state comptroller’s office.

The big picture: Under the $1 billion program, participating students will receive state funds for private education or homeschooling during the 2026-27 school year. It is unlikely that all applicants will be accepted, as application data shows more students have applied than the program can fund.

The program offers $2,000 to homeschooled students; $10,474 for private school tuition and related expenses; and up to $30,000 for students with disabilities. With demand set to exceed available funding, applications will be prioritized based on need and household income.

How we got here: State lawmakers created the Texas Education Freedom Accounts program in 2025, with proponents saying it will expand options for families who don't want to send their children to public schools. Critics of the program have said it will unfairly benefit students already in private schools and divert funding from public schools.
