Selling above $1M? Part of this market never goes online
The figures on this page describe the public side of this market, the sales that were listed in the MLS. Above $1M in the Austin area, a large share of sales are never listed there and never appear online.
Those sales trade on a broker-to-broker private network, and I am a participating broker. Only the agents and brokers who do most of the business at this price point use it, and a surprising number of agents do not know it exists because they do not sell in this range. It covers homes, lots, ranches and condos priced over $1M, and much of it is waterfront or in the Austin core, West Austin, Westlake and Rollingwood, where prices run past $1.5M.
Sellers and their brokers use it for privacy: no public photos or floor plans, and no showings to buyers who have not been qualified.

How Buda as a whole is doing is on the Buda, TX market report, and the town and ZIP code tables are on the 78610 housing market report.

Why did the Porter Country median rise while price per foot fell?
Because larger homes sold. With just 8 sales in the last three months, the quarter is too thin to stand alone, and the twelve-month figures carry this page. Over that year the typical sale rose to $349,999, and the typical home that sold was a good deal bigger than the year before.
A median is the middle sale. When the middle home grows, its price grows too, even if each foot is worth less, and here each foot is worth less.

How much do Porter Country sellers give up from their first price?
More than in most of Buda. Over the past twelve months homes closed at 93.7% of original asking, a buyer’s market for the neighborhood as a whole by our rule; your price point can read differently.
Almost every home listed now has cut (81.8%), and supply is short at 3.4 months on the twelve-month pace. Short supply with cuts this common points to listings starting high and coming down, and few of them fail outright. The typical sale reached a contract in 33 days.
Who builds in Porter Country?
Milestone Community Builders held the homes listed here on our last pull, and new builds were 97.4% of the past year’s sales.

Do Porter Country price ranges differ?
Yes. The low $300,000s were balanced over the past year, while the $350,000s were a buyer’s market for that range.

Sell now, or wait?
- Sell now if your asking price is based on this year’s closed sales, not last year’s, and on closed prices, not the builder’s list.
- Sell now if your home is in the low $300,000s, the balanced part of the neighborhood.
- Wait if your plan needs the per-foot prices of a year ago.
- Wait if Milestone is listing your plan nearby for less than you need.
We bring the home to our own buyers during the coming-soon stage, including the 4,000 cash buyers in my black book, not counting buyers using traditional financing, and every option comes back to you.
Your situation

What happens after a price cut?
Chris’s position, recorded September 27, 2026. A prior position, not written for this page.
After price reductions, homes sell close to the reduced price. Sellers lose the money in the time spent at the first price.
In Porter Country most listings have already cut, so the closed prices, not the first asking prices, are the ones to start from.
