The average market value of homes in Williamson County declined about 3.8% in the last year, according to the Williamson Central Appraisal District. This slight decrease in value reflects continued market stabilization, Deputy Chief Appraiser Chris Connelly said.

By the numbers: Across Williamson County as a whole, the average market value for a home dropped from $473,876 in 2025 to $455,812 in 2026, as of Jan. 1. The market value is the amount a property would sell for in the current housing market.

Homes in the city of Hutto saw the largest decrease, falling 6.08% to an average of $338,519. The city of Leander saw the smallest decline in home values, dropping 2.85% to an average of $465,503.

Something to note: Despite the decrease in average market value for individual homes, Williamson County as a whole saw an increase in its total market value, rising 2.28%. This is because the county’s total market value includes residential, commercial, multifamily and land properties, as well as their improvements, Connelly said.

Some Texas families began learning April 22 if they were accepted to the state’s education savings account program for the 2026-27 school year, officials said.

The big picture: Over 42,600 students will receive funding notices through April 24, the state comptroller’s office announced April 22. The first awardees include low- and middle-income students with disabilities and their eligible siblings.

Families accepted to the Texas Education Freedom Accounts program will receive state funds to send their children to private school or homeschool them.

The details: The first round of awardees is set to receive about $400 million of the $1 billion allocated for the program. Up to 100,000 students are expected to qualify for the program's first year.

The comptroller's office will run a lottery the week of April 27 to determine which low-income students will be accepted based on a prioritization system.

Stay tuned: Families that do not qualify for funding will also be notified through April 24. Additional students will receive funding awards in the coming weeks, a program spokesperson said.
