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 parts of Santa Rita Ranch does this page cover?
All of it. The MLS splits Santa Rita Ranch into the original sections, Santa Rita Ranch South and North, Saddleback, Homestead, and Eldorado with its Sierra, Maravilla and Tesoro collections. Agents spell several of those more than one way, so I count every one of them as a single community, the way a buyer tours it.
The original sections carry well over half the sales. Saddleback, South, Homestead and Eldorado each add a smaller share.

| Period | Sold | Median sale price | Price per square foot (median) | Median days on market | Share of original asking price | Median living area (square feet) | Median build year |

What is a square foot worth in Santa Rita Ranch now?
About the same as last summer. Homes that sold over the last three months went for a median $201 a square foot, close to the same months of 2025.
Over the full twelve months it was a little lower than the year before. The median sale price edged up only because the homes that sold were a bit bigger.
Is Santa Rita Ranch a buyer’s market right now?
Yes, for the community as a whole, judged by what homes sold for against their original asking price, and it has been all year. Your price point can read differently, which the price range table shows.
The pressure comes from the builders. About three in four homes for sale have already cut, and close to one in four listings that reached an outcome over the year failed to sell.
Buyers did move faster this summer than last. The typical home took 93 days to go under contract, against 122 in the same months a year earlier.
Which builders are selling in Santa Rita Ranch?
Eleven. Perry Homes has the most listings, followed by Pulte Homes, Highland Homes and Chesmar, with Coventry Homes, Scott Felder Homes, Toll Brothers and others behind them.

Most of the community’s sales over the last three months were new builds. A buyer looking at your home in South or Saddleback has often toured model homes in Eldorado or Homestead that week, and can compare finishes and price per foot on the spot.
Where do Santa Rita Ranch sales land by price?
The $700,000 to $799,999 range carried the most sales over the year. The two lowest ranges ran balanced, and every range above them ran as a buyer’s market for that range.

How does Santa Rita Ranch compare with Liberty Hill as a whole?
It is a big share of the town’s market. Over the last three months more than a third of Liberty Hill’s sales were in Santa Rita Ranch.
Prices run a little above the town’s, and homes take longer to go under contract. Supply is about level with Liberty Hill’s, so what happens in Santa Rita Ranch largely sets the tone for the whole town.
Sell now, or wait?
Sell now if your home is priced from what similar homes closed for this year, not what builders are asking. The homes under $400,000 and the resales with something new homes lack, like a finished backyard or a larger lot, have held up best.
Waiting may suit you if you can carry the home through more builder releases. Supply has stayed high all year, so waiting has not given resale sellers here a better market.
Your situation
In Santa Rita Ranch your buyer can choose from eleven builders and dozens of resales without leaving the community. They will compare your home with the nearest model on the same weekend.
So the useful question is which homes sit closest to yours on size, section and price, and where each one stands after its cuts.

Why do months of supply matter in Santa Rita Ranch?
Chris’s position, approved September 9, 2026. A prior position, not written for this page.
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. Seven-plus months sounds bad and for the average listing it is. The right company sells a lot faster than the average listing.
Santa Rita Ranch sat at 5.1 months of supply over the last three months, high enough that a well-priced, well-shown resale is the one that gets the offer.
