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.

Which 78756 neighborhood has its own page?
Rosedale, on What does the public record show about selling a Rosedale home? It is a public-record page, because Rosedale records fewer MLS sales than our usual floor and some of its sales never reach the MLS at all.

| Rosedale | 15 | $890,000 | Rosedale market report |
Why did the 78756 median fall while price per foot rose?
Most likely because the homes that sold were smaller. The typical sale was $759,000 this past year, against $805,000 the year before.
Price per square foot went the other way, to $475 this past year from $471 the year before. The median follows the middle sale, and a smaller middle house pulls it down even when each foot sells for a bit more.
More homes sold as well, 100 this past year against 87 the year before.

Is your 78756 price range a seller’s market?
Two ranges had enough sales to show, and each closed as a seller’s market for that range.
Table 4. 78756 homes by price range. Sales are from the twelve months ending October 20, 2026; homes for sale are as of October 21, 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%. Only price ranges with at least 10 sales in the twelve months are shown.

Does the 78756 picture match your Rosedale home?
Close, in most of the ZIP, with a few exceptions. Run your address to see the listings your buyer would weigh against yours.
- Closer fit in the $800,000s and $900,000s, where sales ran near full asking.
- Looser fit above $1M, where some sales trade privately.
- Closer fit if a builder is putting up a new home nearby, since builders hold 6 of the 32 listings.
- Looser fit if your home needs roof or systems work, because most listings have already cut and a buyer has choices.

Why is months of supply the number I check first in Rosedale?
Chris’s position, approved September 9, 2026.
Months of supply is the number I watch. It means: if no more homes came on the market, how long would it take to sell everything listed at the pace homes are selling now.
Here it is 3.8 months, the lowest in Central Austin. Even so, 20 of the 32 listings have cut, so a low supply figure does not excuse an ambitious first price.
