Buyers in Highland Village, Georgetown price a resale against the brand-new homes around it, because new construction made up 60 of the closings here over the last twelve months, against 18 resales. I read the builder homes for sale as the ceiling on what your house can bring, since a buyer who can buy a new house nearby for similar money rarely pays more for one that has been lived in. On the last three months of sales this is a buyer’s market for the neighborhood as a whole. I would list at a first price set from what buyers here have actually paid and sell the house on the work you have already finished.
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.

248 Georgetown homeowners have trusted my real estate team to sell their home in the MLS, and that count does not include a single buyer my team has represented. Everything on this page comes from the same MLS record I use to price those homes.
Highland Village is a buyer’s market on the last three months of sales, when homes sold for 92.1% of their original asking price. That reading covers the neighborhood as a whole.
Over the past year the neighborhood moved toward sellers on that same measure. Buyers paid 89.9% of original asking in the prior twelve months and 93.3% in the last twelve months, which means an owner here gives up less from the first price than a year ago.
The last three months fell mostly in summer, usually the strongest selling season, yet in Highland Village they read a little weaker than the full year on price against asking and on price per square foot. I give the twelve-month figures more weight for that reason.
Georgetown as a whole sold at 94.0% of original asking over the last twelve months, at the bottom edge of a balanced market. Highland Village sits just below the town on that measure, and I keep that in mind when a buyer has been touring homes across Georgetown.
Your home is competing mostly against brand-new houses. Coventry Homes has 3 homes for sale in Highland Village right now and GFO Home has 2.
Chesmar Homes has 1 more on the market. A buyer who tours your house can tour all six builder listings the same afternoon.
Of the homes that sold here over the last twelve months, 63 were built in 2025 or later, and none was built before 2015. A resale in Highland Village is a young house that a buyer still treats as the older one on the tour, and I show that buyer what you have already finished that a builder’s house still needs.
Price per square foot rose from $177 in the prior twelve months to $183 in the last twelve months, while the typical home that closed got smaller. Because smaller homes carry a higher price per square foot, I read part of that rise as size.
It fell from $183 over the last twelve months to $177 in the last three months, mainly because larger homes sold. The lot is a fixed cost, and on a bigger house that cost is spread over more square feet, which pulls the price per foot down.
To see past size, I look at how many sellers have had to cut. Of the 23 homes for sale today, 15 have already come down from their original asking price, and I read that as buyers still negotiating hard.
Across Georgetown, homes sold for $203 per square foot over the last twelve months, against $183 here. A buyer who shops the whole town sees more house for the money in Highland Village, and I put that in front of every buyer who tours.
Homes here took a median of 96 cumulative days to contract over the last twelve months, down from 160 days in the prior twelve months. That counts every day a home was listed until a buyer signed, and an owner selling today waits a good deal less than one who sold a year ago.
Sales rose from 56 in the prior twelve months to 78 in the last twelve months. I read more closings and a shorter wait together with buyers paying closer to asking, and they point the same way, toward a buyer’s market that has improved for sellers over the past year.
Months of supply here is 3.5, against 4.7 for Georgetown as a whole. Measured against how fast homes sell, I see less supply here than in the town, even though buyers here still push back on price.
I would list now if your first price starts where buyers here have been paying. Over the past year buyers paid closer to asking, homes went under contract faster and more of them sold, while the last three months read a little weaker than the full year on price against asking and on price per square foot, as the charts above show. I read both together: the year has improved for sellers, and the weaker recent months are the reason I price from closed sales instead of asking prices.
The median asking price of homes for sale now is $449,910, and homes that closed in the last three months had a median sale price of $444,000. A first price copied from the asking prices around you starts above where buyers here have been closing.
Six of the homes for sale are builders’ listings, and a buyer tours those alongside yours. I would rather you meet them with a correct first price than with one that needs a cut later, since most sellers here have already had to make one.
I would wait if your home needs work a buyer will notice on the walkthrough. Next to a builder’s house that work stands out, and I would have you finish it before the home goes on the market.
My team builds a Home Competitor Analysis for your address that lines your home up against the builder homes and resales a buyer will tour alongside it. Here is what you get:
No obligation. The report for Highland Village comes first. Then I walk the home with you before we talk about price.
If your home was built in 2025 or later, you are selling nearly the same house the builders are, and buyers compare the two side by side. I price these against what buyers paid here over the last twelve months and make sure the home is move-in ready, with everything a new build still needs already done.
If your home was built before 2025, you own one of the older homes here, and only 15 sales in the last twelve months came from homes that age. Your argument is what a new build lacks, such as an established yard, and I would spend on repairs a buyer notices on the walkthrough before I touch the price.
If you need to sell within the next few months, set your first price where recent buyers paid, below the asking prices on the homes around you. With 15 of the 23 homes for sale here already cut, I would rather your home never join that list.
The Home Competitor Analysis shows the homes you would have to beat, what they are asking, how long they have been on the market, which have cut their price, and how your home may compare.
