Top-Rated Real Estate Agents for Texas Buyers and Sellers

Is a builder or your neighbor your Bastrop home’s real competition?

Quick answer

It depends on your price. Builders hold 102 of the 336 homes for sale in Bastrop, and they list heavily in some price ranges and hardly at all in others. Where builders are scarce, the neighbor’s resale is the home a buyer tours next.

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.

D.R. Horton has the most builder listings in Bastrop, with 17, and Perry Homes comes next with 11. D.R. Horton asks at the low end of the town’s builder range and Perry Homes at the high end, so a buyer comparing the two is shopping in different price ranges.

Where are Bastrop buyers closing?

The Colony closed 132 homes over the past twelve months, more than any other subdivision, and it still has the most homes for sale of any community in the table. Its typical home was built in 2025.

Tahitian Village appears in the MLS under two spellings, and between them they hold the next largest group of closings. Valverde follows, where the typical home sold for $299,092 and was built in 2026.

The older neighborhoods close fewer homes. Lake Bastrop Acres, where the typical home was built in 1996, and Circle D, where it was built in 2013, closed far fewer, and the table has the counts and medians.

Is a builder competing at my price?

Builders are a small part of the supply in the lower ranges and most of it in the $450,000s, and the table shows where. It lists the new builds for sale in each range that had at least 10 sales in the last three months.

Table 3. Bastrop homes by price range. Sales are from the 90 days ending October 15, 2026; homes for sale are as of October 16, 2026. A range is a seller’s market when homes sell for at least 97% of their original asking price, balanced from 94% to 97%, and a buyer’s market below 94%. Each reading is for that price range only; a different price point changes which market a home is in. Only price ranges with at least 10 sales in the last 90 days are shown. Source: Unlock MLS.

In the $250,000s builders hold a small share of the homes for sale, so a buyer there is mostly choosing among resales. By the $450,000s they hold most of them.

Where builders hold most of the supply, they set the ceiling for the range, because a buyer can see a finished new house at that price on the same tour. Where they hold little, the ceiling is set by the resales around you, and those sellers are adjusting their prices too.

Above $500,000 the ranges have too few recent sales for the table, but their listings are exact counts. Builders list in most ranges from there to $899,999.

The one gap is the $600,000 to $649,999 range, where no builder has a listing and the competition is all resales.

How are the resales next to mine priced?

Bastrop’s resale listings ask a median $390,200, and more than half have already come down from their first price, 135 in all.

That makes the neighbor’s resale a moving target. When the house next on a buyer’s list has dropped its price, your first price has to hold up beside the new number. Whether that changes your timing is on Should you sell your Bastrop home now, or wait with builders listing nearby?

What does a resale have that a builder’s home does not?

In my read, a resale earns its place on the tour by being in good repair and opening at a first price that matches recent closings in its own range. The builder’s house is finished and new, so the resale has to answer that with its condition and its number.

Your situation

A Bastrop buyer scrolls a long list, and the homes that matter are the ones within reach of your price. In some ranges that list is mostly builders’ new houses, and in others it is your neighbors’ resales.

At the price you have in mind, which house would a buyer see just before yours, and what does yours offer that it does not?

Which house will a Bastrop buyer tour after yours?

Chris’s position, WIR positions library, approved September 9, 2026.

Know the exact house your buyer will tour the same afternoon as yours, by community and by price. Most sellers price against the neighbor’s resale.

In Bastrop the answer changes with the price range. Of the ranges with enough sales, only $450,000 to $499,999 is mostly builders, so the neighbor’s resale is still the competition in most of the town.
