How are Onion Creek homes selling?
Steadily, and closer to asking than most of 78747. Sales over the last three months were too few to read alone, so the read here comes from the full twelve months.
Table 1. Onion Creek sales in each period, from the MLS subdivision records for Onion Creek in Southeast Austin. Each row stands on its own. A median is left out when a period has fewer than 5 sales. 9 Onion Creek homes were for sale as of October 21, 2026. Source: Unlock MLS.
| Period | Sold | Median sale price | Price per square foot (median) | Median days on market | Share of original asking price | Median living area (square feet) | Median build year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90 days ending October 20, 2026 | 9 (thin) | $540,000 | $224 | 53 days | 93.2% | 2,346 | 1981 |
| Same 90 days a year earlier (July 23, 2025 to October 20, 2025) | 12 | $622,000 | $210 | 69 days | 92.5% | 2,650 | 1992 |
| Twelve months ending October 20, 2026 | 38 | $549,000 | $224 | 47 days | 95.3% | 2,402 | 1983 |

Supply is short, under three months at the twelve-month pace. Onion Creek is an established neighborhood around the golf course, and owners there tend to stay put, so few homes come up at once.
Did Onion Creek prices fall this year?
The median did, and the value of a square foot did not. The typical home sold for $549,000 over the past twelve months, against $618,570 the year before.
The homes that sold this year were noticeably smaller, while a square foot brought $224 against $222. A median is the middle sale, so when the middle home shrinks the median drops with it, even though each foot held its value.
What is an Onion Creek home competing against?
Other Onion Creek homes, and the newer houses a few minutes south. No builder is listing inside the neighborhood, and most of what sold here was built before 2000.
That makes condition the whole story. A buyer who loves the trees and the course still compares your kitchen and your systems with the new builds in Goodnight Ranch or Cascades at Onion Creek, and an older house has to show it has been cared for.
Sell now, or wait?
With prices per foot holding, the house and its condition decide more than the calendar.
- Sell now if your home has been updated and shows as well as the best Onion Creek sales this year.
- Sell now if your lot or golf course view is one buyers rarely get a chance at.
- Wait if the house needs a roof, a water heater or HVAC work that an inspector will flag.
- Wait if your number depends on a larger home’s sale from last year.
Your asking price should be based on this year’s closed sales, not last year’s, and on homes your size. I market Onion Creek homes to my buyer network during the coming-soon stage, including 4,000 cash buyers in my black book, and every option is yours to weigh.
Your situation
Onion Creek is the older golf course neighborhood, separate from the newer Cascades at Onion Creek builder community, which has its own page. An Onion Creek home is priced on its size, its updates and its lot more than on any area figure.
