Three Rim Rock homes in Dripping Springs are active under contract as of October 16, 2026, so buyers are still signing, though price per square foot was $289 over the twelve months against $323 the year before. In my read, the twelve months are the fair basis because only five homes closed in the latest three months, and they read balanced for Rim Rock overall. A price point changes which market a home is in.

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.

Last updated October 16, 2026. Sales data covers the 90 days ending October 15, 2026 and the twelve months ending the same day (Unlock MLS via MLS Grid); listing inventory as of October 16, 2026.
Rim Rock has five homes for sale as of October 16, 2026, and three more are active under contract, with none pending. The MLS counts those as separate statuses, so the three are homes a buyer has already chosen and are not part of the five.
That is a short list for a buyer to choose from, and 7 new listings came on in the last three months. Two of the five homes for sale are priced below where they started.
None of the five is a builder listing. A buyer weighing your home is weighing it against another resale.
Price per square foot was $289 over the twelve months ending October 15, 2026, against $323 in the twelve months before.
The median sale price was $940,000 over the past twelve months and $1,111,500 in the twelve months before. The past twelve months closed 23 homes and the twelve before closed 20.
The latest three months point the other way. The typical home closed at $341 a square foot, against $323 in the same three months last year, but five homes closed in each of those periods, and in my read five sales cannot overturn a twelve-month reading.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Over the past twelve months Rim Rock homes closed at 94.5% of original asking, which reads balanced for Rim Rock overall. A price point changes which market a home is in, and the three-month sample is too small to read.
Months of inventory, which is how long it would take to sell every home for sale if no new ones came on, is 2.6 on the twelve-month basis. That is tighter than a balanced reading usually carries, because only a handful of homes are listed at once.
None of the five homes that closed in the last three months closed at or above its original asking, so no recent sale held its first price. How days to contract separate quick sales from slow ones is on Why does a Dripping Springs listing sit? Check it against the homes around it.
