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 Spicewood at Balcones Villages a seller’s market?
This past year, yes, for the neighborhood as a whole. Recorded sales closed at 99.5% of original asking, well above the 97% line my rule uses, after a buyer’s market the year before.
Supply is thin, at 0.9 months on the twelve-month pace, and the typical sale reached a contract in 10 days. A well-prepared house here meets buyers who have little else to choose from.
What is a seller here competing against?
Mostly time and condition. With only a couple of homes listed, the competition is the last sale a buyer saw and the updates it had. Most homes here date from the late 1970s, so kitchens, baths and systems decide where a house lands. The wider 78750 picture is on How fast are 78750 homes selling around Jester and Spicewood?
