Why is the typical Cat Hollow listing asking $429,000 when the median sale was $456,500?

If you are selling in Cat Hollow in Round Rock, the 13 homes for sale here carry a median asking price of $429,000, while the 52 Cat Hollow homes that closed in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 came in at a median sale price of $456,500. That gap is not a markdown on your house: 9 of those 13 listings are already asking less than they first asked, and the typical closing reached a contract at a median cumulative days on the market to contract of 20.0.

Cat Hollow is an all resale market with an old core. All 52 of those closings were resale and none was a new build, 27 of the 52 were built before 2000 and 25 were built between 2000 and 2014, and not one closing came from a house built in 2015 or later. None of the 13 active listings is a builder listing, so the house that sets your price is a neighbor’s, and the median closing here was built in 1999.

Quick answer

Cat Hollow closed 52 homes in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 at a median sale price of $456,500, a median 20.0 days to contract and 97.4% of the original asking price, on a median living area of 2,400 square feet and $203 per square foot. There are 13 active listings at a median asking price of $429,000, 9 of them asking less than their original asking price, and 3.0 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis, which carries a seller’s market label for the subdivision overall; that label is for Cat Hollow as a whole, and a price point changes which market a home is in, so your band tells you more than the label does. All 52 closings were resale, none of the 13 active listings is a builder listing, and the median closing was built in 1999.

Why is the asking price on the board lower than what Cat Hollow homes sold for?

Because the board is small and most of it has already corrected. Cat Hollow has 13 active listings as of September 23, 2026 at a median asking price of $429,000, and 9 of those 13 are asking less than their original asking price. The 52 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 came in at a median sale price of $456,500.

The median active listing has been listed 45.0 days so far. The median closing reached a contract at 20.0 days to contract in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. The homes still on the board are the ones that did not go under contract inside the 20.0 days the typical sale took, so the asking prices you can see record what has not worked yet rather than what buyers paid.

Thirteen listings is a short list, and where they sit is uneven: 5 of the 13 are in the $400,000-$449,999 band, 4 are in the $350,000-$399,999 band, 2 are in the $450,000-$499,999 band, 1 is in the $200,000-$249,999 band and 1 is in the $700,000-$749,999 band. The remaining bands hold no Cat Hollow listing at all, so at most price points there is nothing current to copy.

Am I competing against builders in Cat Hollow?

No builder is selling against you inside Cat Hollow. None of the 13 active listings is a builder listing and there are no builder names on the board, and of the 52 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, 0 were new build and 52 were resale.

The build years say the same thing from the other side. Of those 52 closings, 27 were built before 2000 and 25 were built between 2000 and 2014, while 0 were built between 2015 and 2024 and 0 were built in 2025 or later. Cat Hollow has no row in the WIR New Construction Inventory sheet, so there is no builder price range or incentive to set beside your asking price here.

That separates pricing in Cat Hollow from pricing in the parts of Round Rock where a sales office is still writing contracts. A buyer who wants a 2025 build has to leave the neighborhood to find one, so your house is measured against the 13 listings inside the same fence, 9 of which are asking less than they first asked.

How long does it take to get a Cat Hollow home under contract?

The median Cat Hollow closing reached a contract at 20.0 days to contract in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, and the same measure was 44.0 days to contract in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025. Cumulative days to contract counts the days a home was on the market before it went under contract, carried across relistings, so a relisted home does not start over at zero.

The share of the original asking price carries both periods too. Cat Hollow closings came in at 95.5% of the original asking price in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025 and 97.4% in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. On the shorter view, the 9 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 are a thin sample, and they came in at 97.9% of the original asking price at a median 7.0 days to contract.

A median of 20.0 days to contract across 52 closings means the typical Cat Hollow sale was decided inside three weekends, and the median closing still finished under its original asking price at 97.4%. The 13 homes on the board now have been listed a median 45.0 days so far, so decide in advance what your price does by 20.0 days, while the listing is still new to every buyer with a Cat Hollow alert.

Which price band am I in, and does the label apply to me?

Your band decides most of what this page means for you. This page lists fourteen price bands for Cat Hollow, and no single band reached 10 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, which makes each band on its own a thin sample.

Cat Hollow carries a seller’s market label at 3.0 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis. That label is for the subdivision overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in, so a $279,750 Cat Hollow sale and a $520,000 Cat Hollow sale are not in the same contest even though they share a label.

Cat Hollow’s median sale price of $456,500 sits above the Round Rock median of $399,999 across 1,853 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, and its 3.0 months of inventory sits below the town’s 4.2 months behind 647 active listings.

Why does Cat Hollow show up under 22 different names in the MLS?

Because the MLS carries each recorded section as its own name. Cat Hollow appears under 22 spellings, running from CAT HOLLOW 1-A and Cat Hollow through Cat Hollow Condo, Cat Hollow Sec 01-A, Cat Hollow Sec 05-A and Cat Hollow Sec 13. Every spelling is counted here as one subdivision, which is why this page reads 52 closings where a section by section search reads a handful at a time.

The spelling list is also why a single name covers closings from the $200,000-$249,999 band up to the $850,000-$899,999 band, with condo spellings and house spellings in the same set. If a comparable search hands you only a few sales, it is reading one section rather than Cat Hollow.

On the MLS city field there is no split to explain: all 52 closings carry Round Rock. For geography, the MLS listing fields carry Great Oaks and Round Rock ISD. Attendance is set by the district and by the specific address, so confirm it for your own address with Round Rock ISD before it goes in front of a buyer.

How many Cat Hollow listings ended without a sale?

11 Cat Hollow listings ended without a sale in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, a non-sale share of 17.5%, which means listings that expired or were withdrawn by their off-market date, as a share of every listing that reached an outcome either way. Round Rock as a whole had 663 listings reach an outcome in the same period, at 26.4%.

Those 11 sellers worked the same board as the 52 who closed, with the same buyers walking the same streets. The measurable difference sits in two day counts already on this page: the homes that closed reached contract at a median 20.0 days to contract, and the 13 homes still for sale have been listed a median 45.0 days so far. A Cat Hollow listing past its first month is already outside the pattern that produced those 52 closings.

Worried your asking price is anchored to a board that has already cut?

Your situation

If your home sits in the $400,000-$449,999 band, you are in the most crowded part of Cat Hollow right now. That band carried 8 of the 52 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, which is a thin sample, at a band median of $433,000, and it holds 5 of the 13 active listings, so a buyer at your price has real choice and your first 20.0 days carry the weight, which is what the typical Cat Hollow sale took to go under contract.

If your home sits in the $750,000-$799,999, $800,000-$849,999 or $850,000-$899,999 bands, you are reading thin samples: 4 closings, 1 closing and 1 closing in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, with no band median published in any of the three and no active listing in any of them. At that level the comparison has to be built house by house, because there is not enough Cat Hollow volume to lean on.

If your home was built before 2000, you are in the largest single group here. 27 of the 52 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 were built before 2000 and 25 were built between 2000 and 2014, and the median year built among all 52 is 1999, so an older build is the Cat Hollow norm rather than the exception, and the finish work a buyer compares is a neighbor’s and not a builder’s.
