Why the Brushy Creek median rose in Round Rock while price per square foot fell

Brushy Creek in Round Rock closed 35 homes at a median sale price of $380,000 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, up from $355,000 on 25 closings the twelve months before. The median rose because bigger homes sold, a median 1,736 square feet against 1,572. Price per square foot went the other way, from $247 to $223.

Brushy Creek is an established resale neighborhood. All 35 closings were resales, 29 of them built before 2000, and none of the 8 homes for sale on September 23, 2026 is a builder listing. Homes went under contract in a median 45 days and sold at 95.3% of their original asking price.

Quick answer

The Brushy Creek median sale price rose to $380,000 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, from $355,000 the year before, because the homes that sold were larger: a median 1,736 square feet against 1,572. Price per square foot fell from $247 to $223. Homes took a median 45 days to reach a contract, up from 22, and sold at 95.3% of original asking, against 96.6% the year before. On September 23, 2026, 8 homes were for sale and 6 of them had cut their price. At 2.7 months of inventory on the twelve month basis, the subdivision carries a seller’s market label. That label describes the subdivision, and your price point can put your home in a different market.

Why did the Brushy Creek median rise?

Because bigger homes sold. A median is the middle sale, so when the middle home grows from 1,572 square feet to 1,736, the median price rises with it. Price per square foot, which adjusts for size, fell from $247 to $223 over the same two periods.

So the higher median doesn’t mean a given Brushy Creek house is worth more than it was a year ago. If yours is smaller than the 1,736 square foot median, the $380,000 figure overstates it. Price from the closings nearest your size and what they brought per square foot.

The 8 homes for sale ask a median $344,500. A median of 8 listings mostly reflects which houses happen to be on the market, so compare yours with the listings closest to it in size and condition.

How far below asking are Brushy Creek homes selling?

A little further than a year ago. Homes that closed over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 sold at 95.3% of their original asking price, against 96.6% the year before. On September 23, 2026, 6 of the 8 homes for sale had already cut their price.

In our experience, once the price comes down to where buyers are, homes here sell close to that reduced price. Sellers lose the money in the weeks spent at a first price buyers have passed on, which is why the first price matters most.

How long does it take to get a Brushy Creek home under contract?

The median was 45 days to contract over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, up from 22 the year before. The 8 homes for sale on September 23, 2026 had been listed a median of 58 days. Those homes have no outcome yet, so compare that figure with your own listing’s time on the market.

In a neighborhood this age, condition decides a lot. Fixing deferred maintenance and anything an inspector would flag usually returns more than cosmetic upgrades, which pay only when a house is badly dated against the others for sale.

How many Brushy Creek listings ended without a sale?

12 listings ended without a sale over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, a non-sale share of 25.5%. The measure counts listings that expired or were withdrawn, as a share of every listing that reached an outcome. About one listing in four ended without a buyer, so a plan for price and presentation matters here.

Why does Brushy Creek show up under 10 different names?

The neighborhood was built in sections and listings were entered under 10 different subdivision names. This page counts them as one neighborhood. A comparable search keyed to one name returns only part of the 35 closings, so ask which names an estimate for your address used.

Brushy Creek listings show Round Rock ISD as the district and Brushy Creek as the elementary school, and all 35 closings carry Round Rock as the MLS city. The district sets attendance for each address, so confirm both before your listing goes live.

Worried the 8 listings on the Brushy Creek board are setting your price for you?

A WIR analyst walks Brushy Creek with you, looks at the 8 listings on the board, the 6 asking under their original price and the closings in your range, and shows you what a buyer sees before your sign goes up:

No obligation. The report for Brushy Creek arrives within a minute; the pricing analysis comes after we walk the home. Nothing here promises a price, a timeline, or an outcome.

Your situation

If your home is smaller than the 1,736 square foot median, the $380,000 median overstates it. Use the closings nearest your size and the $223 median price per square foot as your starting point.

If your house is older and hasn’t been updated, fix what an inspector would flag before you list. In a resale neighborhood your competition is the other houses on the street, and buyers compare condition closely.

If your Brushy Creek home is already listed, compare your days on market with the 45 day median to contract. Past that point, look hard at price, because 6 of the 8 homes for sale have already cut theirs.
