Who is your competition in University Heights? 24 homes for sale, 20 of them builders

Twenty of the 24 homes for sale in University Heights on September 23, 2026 are builder listings, and Scott Felder Homes holds 12 of them on its own. Set against the 30 homes that closed in this Round Rock subdivision in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, that is 9.6 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis, where Round Rock as a whole carried 4.2 months.

That gap between what is for sale and what sells is the thing to plan around. University Heights closings took a median 122 cumulative days on the market to contract over those twelve months, which is the count of days from listing to a signed contract including earlier listings of the same house, and they finished at a median 87.6% of original asking.

Quick answer

The median University Heights home sold for $510,000 in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, across 30 closings, at 2,543 square feet and $197 per square foot, and it took a median 122 days to contract before closing at 87.6% of original asking. Twenty-four homes are for sale as of September 23, 2026, which is 9.6 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis against 4.2 months for Round Rock as a whole, and WIR labels that a buyer’s market; the label describes the subdivision overall on that measure, and your price point decides which market your own house is in, because University Heights closings ran from 5 between $400,000 and $449,999 up to 1 between $650,000 and $699,999.

What have University Heights homes actually sold for?

The median University Heights sale closed at $510,000 in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, across 30 closings. That house measured 2,543 square feet, worked out to $197 per square foot, and carried a median year built of 2025, so the typical sale in this subdivision was a house finished inside the last year or two.

The price level did not move against the year before. The median sale price was $510,000 in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 and $510,000 in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025, and the median price per square foot was $197 against $198 across those same two periods. The median house was slightly smaller, 2,543 square feet against 2,593 square feet. Two twelve-month periods landing on the same median price says the argument in University Heights is not about the price level. It is about how long a sale takes and how far the closing number lands from the first asking price.

The most recent stretch cannot carry an argument. University Heights closed 5 homes in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, a thin sample, at a median of $565,000 and a median 3,113 square feet, or $183 per square foot, with a median year built of 2026. Five closings in a subdivision that recorded 30 over the year describe five houses.

Why are 24 homes for sale in University Heights when 30 sold in a year?

Because the builders are still delivering here. Of the 24 homes for sale in University Heights on September 23, 2026, 20 are builder listings. Scott Felder Homes holds 12 of them. Chesmar reaches the MLS under two spellings, Chesmar with 4 listings and Chesmar Homes with 4 listings, which is worth knowing before anyone counts the competition by hand.

That supply is what separates this subdivision from the town around it. University Heights carried 9.6 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, where Round Rock as a whole carried 4.2 months across 1,853 closings and 647 homes for sale. WIR labels 9.6 months a buyer’s market, and that label is for the subdivision overall on that measure; a price point changes which market a home is actually in, and University Heights closings spread across bands from 5 between $400,000 and $449,999 up to 1 between $650,000 and $699,999.

The listings themselves show what that supply does. The 24 homes for sale carry a median asking price of $510,990, which sits just above the $510,000 median of the 30 closings behind them, and they have been listed a median 44.0 days so far. Thirteen of the 24 are already asking below their original price. An owner reading that should treat it as the standing condition here rather than as news.

Why did University Heights homes take a median 122 days to contract?

Because a buyer here has a choice of houses and the builders set the pace on price. University Heights closings took a median 122 days to contract in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against a median 148 days in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025, and they closed at a median 87.6% of original asking against 86.7% across those same two periods. Both years describe the same shape: a long run to a contract and a closing number well under the first asking price.

Figure 2. Bar chart of the median days to contract on University Heights closings: 122 days in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, 148 days in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025, and 33.0 days in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, which rests on 5 closings and is a thin sample.

The 90 day view is too small to lean on. The 5 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 are a thin sample, and they took a median 33.0 days to contract at 85.8% of original asking. Five houses are five houses, and the planning numbers on this page come from the year of record instead.

A median close at 87.6% of original asking means the last price on most of these sales was lower than the first one, and in a subdivision where 29 of 30 sales were new builds, that first price was usually a builder’s. The distance between a first asking price and a closing price is the number to work on before a listing goes live, and in University Heights it was wide in both of the last two twelve-month periods, 87.6% and 86.7% of original asking.

Who am I competing against in University Heights right now?

Twenty-four homes, as of September 23, 2026, and your band decides how crowded your position is.

Figure 1. Bar chart of University Heights closings by price band in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026: 5 closings from $400,000 to $449,999, 9 closings from $450,000 to $499,999, 11 closings from $500,000 to $549,999, 4 closings from $550,000 to $599,999, and 1 closing from $650,000 to $699,999.

Of the 30 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, 11 were between $500,000 and $549,999 with a band median of $530,000, and 9 were between $450,000 and $499,999 with a band median of $475,000. Those two groups carried most of the year, and the homes for sale today sit in the same place: 9 are between $500,000 and $549,999 and 10 are between $450,000 and $499,999.

Read those two lines together. Each of those bands holds about as many homes for sale today as it produced closings in a whole year, so an owner priced into either one is not looking at a thin shelf of competitors, and much of what is on that shelf is builder inventory carrying a builder’s asking price rather than a homeowner’s.

The edges read differently. The $400,000 to $449,999 band produced 5 closings with a band median of $414,000 and holds 1 listing today. The $550,000 to $599,999 band produced 4 closings and holds 4 listings, and no band median is published for it. The $650,000 to $699,999 band produced 1 closing, holds nothing today, and no band median is published for it either. If your house belongs in the $400,000 to $449,999 band, almost nothing is listed against it inside the subdivision at this moment, which is the one place on this page where a University Heights seller has room.

How often does a University Heights listing come off the market unsold?

Less often than in Round Rock generally. In the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, 4 University Heights listings ended without a sale, a non-sale share of 11.8%, counting listings that expired or were withdrawn by their off-market date, as a share of every listing that reached an outcome either way. Round Rock as a whole had 663 listings end without a sale over the same twelve months, a share of 26.4%.

So the risk an owner carries in this subdivision is not that a listing never finds a buyer. It is the two numbers that come first: a median 122 days to contract and a median close at 87.6% of original asking. Someone who budgets a carrying cost for a quick contract and instead gets the University Heights median is paying for a decision that was made on the day the price was set.

What changes if I am selling a resale instead of a new build?

You are close to alone. Of the 30 University Heights homes that closed in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, 29 were new builds and 1 was a resale. The build years say the same thing another way: none of the 30 was built before 2000, none between 2000 and 2014, 2 were built between 2015 and 2024, and 28 were built in 2025 or later.

Build eraClosings
Before 20000
2000 to 20140
2015 to 20242
2025 or later28

That one resale is the entire resale record for the subdivision over a year. There is no run of older homes here setting a separate price level, and the median closing carried a year built of 2025. Almost every comparable sale a buyer or an agent pulls inside University Heights is new construction, listed by a builder that can move its own asking price without having to move out of a house.

The size figures sharpen the comparison. The median closing measured 2,543 square feet at $197 per square foot in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, against 2,593 square feet at $198 per square foot in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025. A resale here is read against houses of roughly its own age and often of a different size, which is a reason to price a specific plan and lot instead of leaning on the subdivision median.

Why does my Round Rock address show Georgetown ISD, and why are there two MLS spellings?

Both are MLS geography fields, and both change what a buyer finds. University Heights listings carry Williams and Georgetown ISD in the school fields, while the MLS city field reads Round Rock on all 30 of the closings. A Round Rock address on a Georgetown ISD listing is geography only; attendance is set by the district and by the specific address, so confirm your own address with the district rather than reading the subdivision as the answer.

The name is the other field. University Heights appears in the MLS under 2 spellings, University Heights and University Heights Ph 2. Every figure on this page counts both as one subdivision, which is how the closing count here reaches 30 and the count of homes for sale reaches 24.

It matters in both directions. A pricing exercise that matches only one of the two strings returns a fraction of the record, and in a subdivision where 11 of the year’s closings sat between $500,000 and $549,999 and 9 sat between $450,000 and $499,999, a missing phase is enough to move a price conversation by a band. The same holds for the builder names: reading Chesmar and Chesmar Homes as two different sellers understates who is holding inventory here.

Worried a builder can undercut your price before your house sells?

Twenty of the 24 homes for sale in University Heights are builder listings, and 29 of the last 30 sales here were new builds. A walkthrough at your address deals with that head on:

Your situation

If you own the resale side of University Heights, you are in a group of 1 for the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, when 29 of the 30 closings were new builds and only 2 of the 30 homes were built between 2015 and 2024. The work is showing why your lot, plan and condition are worth the ask when the house a buyer compares yours against was built in 2025 or later.

If your price lands in the $450,000 to $499,999 or the $500,000 to $549,999 band, you are in the busiest part of the subdivision on both sides: 9 closings and 10 homes for sale in the $450,000 to $499,999 band, and 11 closings and 9 homes for sale in the $500,000 to $549,999 band. Pricing there is a question of what a buyer sees beside your house on the same afternoon.

If you need to be out by a set date, work from the University Heights record rather than from the town’s. The last 30 closings took a median 122 days to contract and closed at a median 87.6% of original asking, and the 24 homes on the market now have been listed a median 44.0 days so far. A contract date is not a closing date.
