Over the twelve months ending October 15, 2026, the typical Rough Hollow sale in Lakeway rose to $1,284,610 from $932,000, while the price of a square foot moved far less, as the first table shows, and more than half of the homes that closed were new builds. The homes closed well under their original asking prices, which reads as a buyer’s market for Rough Hollow overall on the twelve-month basis, and a price point changes which market a home is in. In my read, the size of a Rough Hollow sale price says more about which homes sold than about what a square foot brings.

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.

The typical Rough Hollow home sold for $1,284,610 over the past twelve months, against $932,000 over the twelve months before that.
A square foot moved far less. It sold for $273 over the past twelve months against $265 before that, and price per square foot is the measure I read first for direction.
New builds made up 56.5% of the closings over the past twelve months and 57.1% of the closings in the latest three months, by the MLS proxy for new construction. In my read, the median sale price followed the kind of home that sold, and the price of a square foot is the better guide to what your own home would bring.

On the twelve-month basis Rough Hollow reads as a buyer’s market, with homes closing at 92.8% of their original asking price. The reading is for Rough Hollow overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in.
I use twelve months because only a few homes sold in the latest three months. Those sales closed at 90.0% of original asking, and none closed at or above its first price. Seven sales is too few to read a trend from.
Sales did pick up against the same three months a year earlier, 7 closings against 3.
Supply reads differently, with 3.4 months of inventory in Rough Hollow against 6.0 for the Austin metro. In my read, that figure swings on a single home when so few are for sale, so I treat it as support and let the sale price against original asking decide.
