Top-Rated Real Estate Agents for Texas Buyers and Sellers

Can a Cedar Creek resale hold its price beside a builder’s finished home?

Quick answer

In the three months ending October 15, 2026, a typical Cedar Creek resale closed at $192 a square foot and a typical new build at $167.

In my read, a move-in ready resale can hold its price when it opens where recent resale closings sit, because your appraised value and recent sold comps show where the market was yesterday, and a buyer prices your home against what is for sale now.

Does a new build down the street lower my Cedar Creek home’s value?

A finished house nearby, such as one in Riverbend at Double Eagle, hands a buyer a yardstick. In the last three months the typical Cedar Creek resale closed at $441,000 and the typical new build at $349,990. Per square foot adjusts for house size, so the $192 and $167 in the answer above are the numbers to hold onto.

Resale sellers kept more of their first price: 95.2% of original asking, against 91.6% for new builds.

In my read, compare like with like: sold against sold, and asking against asking. On both, resales sit above builders per square foot, which is why a resale seller can defend a higher figure than the builder next door, provided the home shows no inspection surprises.

What are builders asking in Cedar Creek right now?

Asking prices tell a different story from sales: the median builder listing asks $393,995, while the median resale listing asks $475,000.

A builder’s asking range runs from $190,000 to $849,900, so one median cannot stand for every house. Most builder listings have already come down from their first price, and a buyer weighing yours will check the builder’s current number.

Is my Cedar Creek home worth less than it was a year ago?

Across the whole town, Cedar Creek prices sit lower than they did a year ago. The median sale price was $369,995 over the past twelve months, against $412,054 over the twelve months before.

Buyers paid 90.4% of original asking over those twelve months.

If your expectations come from a neighbor’s sale last year, they come from a higher market than buyers are paying now. The timing side of that is on Few Cedar Creek homes are under contract right now. Should you list now or wait?

Does my price range change what buyers pay?

Buyers pay different shares of the first asking price in different ranges, and and because a price point changes which market a home is in, each reading describes that range overall, with your street and your home’s condition still able to shift it.

What should I do with these numbers before I price?

Start from what has closed in your own community and your own price range, since a town-wide figure blends very different houses. Then adjust for the house: a roof, a floor plan or a yard can move a buyer’s number either way, and none of them shows up in a median.

In my read, the builder’s current asking price is a reference a buyer will test you against, and not a price you must match. The walkthrough is where the adjustments get priced.

Is my appraised value what a buyer will pay?

Your appraisal district sets a value once a year for tax purposes, and the price a buyer pays is settled in the contract. WIR does not forecast how any appraisal will come out.

Watters International Realty is a real estate brokerage and not a tax or legal adviser. Questions about your own appraised value, your homestead cap, whether to protest, a PID or MUD assessment on your lot, or what a bond election would do to your own tax bill belong with a tax professional, and the record for your specific parcel is held by the Bastrop Central Appraisal District (https://www.bastropcad.org). What WIR can tell you is what a buyer would pay.

Will your home hold its value next to a new build?

Condition and price range settle most of it. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.
