Top-Rated Real Estate Agents for Texas Buyers and Sellers

Is now a good time to sell in Travisso? How does it compare with Leander?

By Chris Watters, Broker, Watters International Realty. Last updated October 15, 2026.

Quick answer

Now is a hard time to sell most homes in Travisso, and it is hardest for a resale that a buyer can line up against a builder’s new house. Homes that sold here in the last 90 days went for a median 87.0% of their original asking price, which makes Travisso a buyer’s market and a harder one than the balanced market across the rest of Leander. That reading describes the neighborhood as a whole, and how your home’s size and age compare with what is for sale decides how much of it falls on you. I would list now if your home gives a buyer something the new houses lack and you price it against the closest resales from the first day; if you need last year’s price, I would not list just to test it.

What I analyzed

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.

Is Travisso a buyer's market or a seller's market?

Travisso is a buyer’s market for the neighborhood overall, and a home that stands apart from its closest competition can sell on better terms than that overall reading. Sellers here got 91.9% of original asking in the prior twelve months, and that fell to 88.5% in the last twelve months, which means an owner now gives up more of the first asking price to close than an owner did a year ago.

The last 90 days came in lower than the full year, as the chart shows. Most of that window fell in summer, usually the strongest selling season around Austin, so a weak summer result carries more weight with me than the same result in winter would.

Months of supply in Travisso is 6.5. I measure it as the homes for sale divided by the monthly pace of sales over the past year, and a number that high means a buyer here has plenty of homes to choose from.

How does selling in Travisso compare with the rest of Leander?

Selling in Travisso is harder than selling elsewhere in Leander on each measure I compare here. Across Leander, homes sold for 94.2% of original asking over the last twelve months, a balanced market for the town as a whole, against 88.5% in Travisso over the same twelve months.

The typical Leander home went to contract in 58 days, about half the time a Travisso home took. Months of supply across Leander is 4.6, so a buyer in the rest of town has fewer homes to weigh than a buyer in Travisso does.

The median Travisso home sold for $877,000 in the last twelve months, against $454,995 across Leander. That gap is why I price a Travisso home against Travisso sales of its size and use the town figures only to show how much harder this neighborhood is right now.

How long does it take to sell a home in Travisso?

The median home here took 115 cumulative days to contract over the last twelve months, up from 74 days in the prior twelve months, which means an owner listing today waits much longer for a buyer to commit than an owner did a year ago. The most recent summer sales took just as long, so I treat that as the pace a seller here faces now.

The longer wait came with more sales. Buyers closed on 122 homes here in the last twelve months, against 82 in the prior twelve months. I read that as buyers who are present, with enough choices in front of them that they compare carefully and negotiate before they commit.

Are home prices in Travisso going down?

Price per square foot fell from $251 in the prior twelve months to $226 in the last twelve months.

The drop is large mainly because bigger homes sold. The median home sold in the last twelve months had 3,817 square feet, against 3,562 in the prior twelve months. A lot costs about the same whether the house on it is big or modest, and when that fixed cost spreads over more square feet, the price per foot comes down even if buyers value each home the same way.

The last 90 days came in at $225, from homes close in size to the year’s typical home, so I read it alongside the full year.

I still see real pressure on price once I set size aside. Of the 66 homes for sale here now, 49 are already priced below their original asking, and I read that as buyers pushing back on price itself.

What is my Travisso home competing against?

Your buyer is mostly comparing your home with new and nearly new houses. Of the homes sold here in the last twelve months, 58 were built in 2025 or later and 55 in the ten years before that.

Most of those closings were resales, 84 of the 122. A buyer looking at your home has usually toured other owners’ near-new houses as well as the builders’.

Toll Brothers and Taylor Morrison both have homes for sale in Travisso now, and builders listed 13 of the homes on the market. When I list a resale here, the buyer touring it has often walked a builder’s model that same week. I win that buyer with a home that is move-in ready and can close on the buyer’s schedule, which a house still under construction cannot offer.

Worried your Travisso home is priced against the wrong homes?

My Home Competitor Analysis lines your home up against the homes a Travisso buyer is touring right now, resale and new. Here is what it covers:

No obligation. The report for Travisso comes first. Then I walk the home with you before we talk about price.

Your situation

If your home was built in the last few years, your closest competition is what Toll Brothers and Taylor Morrison have for sale this month. I would walk their current homes before setting a price, then price yours so a buyer sees a clear reason to take a finished, move-in ready home over picking a new one.

If your home is one of the older ones in Travisso, very few homes like it trade here: only 8 of the 122 sales in the last twelve months came from the oldest group of homes. That is a thin set of comparable sales, so I would fix anything that reads dated before listing, because the buyer’s other option is usually a brand-new house.

If you are already on the market and no offer has come, most homes for sale here have already cut their price, so a cut by itself does little to set yours apart. Before another cut, I would check which listings sit closest to yours in size and age, and compare price per square foot only against homes of a similar size.
