Does a lower Jonestown median price mean your home is worth less?

Quick answer

A lower median price does not by itself mean your Jonestown home is worth less, in my read. Price per square foot was $258 in the three months ending October 15, 2026, against $264 in the same three months a year earlier, a much smaller change than the median shows.

Do builder asking prices set what my Jonestown home is worth?

Builder asking prices do not set a Jonestown home’s value, because only one new build closed in the last three months and no builder price has been tested by a sale. Builders show up in the asking prices.

Builder listings ask a median $262 per square foot, and resale listings ask a median $306. Per house the order flips.

Both pairs are asking prices, and an asking price records what a seller hoped for. The chart below shows what a square foot of Jonestown resale sold for, $258. No builder has a sold figure to set beside it, which is why I treat the builder asking prices as untested. Bobbitt Builders, with the most listings, asks a median $750,000.

What are Jonestown homes selling for compared with a year ago?

The typical Jonestown home sold for $407,500 in the last three months, against $925,000 in the same three months a year earlier.

The price per square foot pair in the answer above is the better guide, because a median across so few sales across so few sales moves with which homes happened to sell. The typical home that sold had 1,523 square feet of living area, so a house much larger or smaller than that sits away from the median in either direction.

The full year, where the median and the price per square foot tell different stories, is on Is Jonestown tougher to sell in than Lago Vista, even with less inventory?

What do Jonestown buyers pay compared with the first asking price?

Over the twelve months, Jonestown homes sold for 93.6% of their original asking price, under the 94% line that separates a buyer’s market from a balanced one. That is the reading for the town overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in.

I use that share of original asking as the number to price against, because it records what buyers paid, where an asking price records what a seller hoped for. A seller who opens at a builder’s number and expects the same share back is working from a figure no sale has tested.

Should I price my Jonestown home to a builder’s asking price?

I would start from the closed resales and use a builder’s asking price only as a reference. The closed resales show what buyers did pay for homes like yours, and the builder’s number shows only where one seller started.

A builder’s listing matters most where a buyer would tour it beside yours, and that depends on your subdivision and price. In Jonestown Hills the record is deep and mostly resales. In my read, near The Hollows builders and resales share the same tour.

Is my appraised value what a buyer will pay?

Your appraised value is one office’s yearly figure for your parcel, and what a buyer pays is settled in the contract. I do not predict how an appraisal will come in.

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 Travis Central Appraisal District (https://traviscad.org). What WIR can tell you is what a buyer would pay.

Which Jonestown sales should I compare my home with?

Start with sales in your own subdivision. Jonestown Hills had 26 closings over the twelve months, the most of any subdivision, so a seller there can price from sales on nearby streets. The Hollows had 9.

If your subdivision has few sales, use the sales in your price range on the twelve-month basis. The reading for each range is on Should you sell your Jonestown home now, or wait while few homes are under contract?

Your situation

Your appraisal, last year’s sale down the street and a builder’s list price each point to a different number, and the buyer settles on the one in the contract. Jonestown Hills and The Hollows show how far apart those numbers can sit.
