What is your Round Rock home worth next to a new build? Nearly level

By Chris Watters, Broker and CEO, Watters International Realty

What a buyer pays for it this month. In Round Rock the median home sold for $400,523 in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, and the resales among those closings went for a median $401,000 against $399,180 for the new builds. Per square foot the resale came out in front, $196 against $192.

Quick answer

A Round Rock home is worth what a buyer pays for it against the new house that buyer can tour the same afternoon, and in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 the median Round Rock sale was $400,523, with 396 resales at a median $401,000 and 38 new builds at $399,180. Builders asked a median $461,598 for their 106 listings on September 21, 2026 while resale sellers asked $418,500, so the asking side and the selling side are two measurements of two different sets of houses. Over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 Round Rock closed at a median $399,990 against $420,000 in the prior twelve months, down 4.8%, so an asking price anchored to a 2025 closing starts above the medians this year has produced.

What are buyers in Round Rock actually paying?

A median $400,523. That is where the 434 Round Rock homes that closed in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 landed, at 95.7% of original asking, $196 per square foot and a median 33 days to contract.

Split those closings the way a buyer splits them. The MLS marks 38 of the 434 as new construction, 8.8% of the quarter, and those 38 closed at a median $399,180 and $192 per square foot. The other 396 were resales, at $401,000 and $196. The two medians sit beside each other on price. On the terms behind the price they do not: a resale reached contract in a median 30 days at 96.0% of its original asking, a new build in 79 days at 93.1%.

Asking prices measure homes that have not sold: the 646 listings asked a median $195 a square foot on September 21, 2026, the 106 builder listings among them $220.

Does the builder’s asking price tell you what yours is worth?

It tells you what your buyer’s other option costs, and that number moves. The 106 builder listings on September 21, 2026, 16.4% of the 646 homes for sale, ran from $295,000 to $999,900 at a median $461,598, and 50 of them were already reduced under what they first asked after a median 72 days on the market. Resale sellers held the other 540, at a median $418,500 and $193 a square foot, 343 of them reduced.

Taking a fixed amount off that number is where a seller goes wrong. A builder prices one house on one lot with a warranty and a delivery date attached, so a discount off the $461,598 median describes builder inventory and nothing about a resale on your street. The WIR New Construction Inventory sheet, read September 18, 2026, carries one Round Rock row: KB Home publishes $324,995 to $477,998 for the Classic Collection at Salerno in 78665, with at least 2 specs ready to move into (a spec being a finished house with no buyer attached to it yet), recorded as a close-out community with ENERGY STAR certified homes and no advertised financing offer. Every builder by name, count and range is on what is your Round Rock home competing against right now?

Is last year’s Round Rock number still your number?

The twelve-month medians say it is not. Round Rock’s twelve months ending September 20, 2026 closed at a median $399,990, where the twelve months before closed at $420,000, down 4.8%; per square foot the pair reads $195 and $207, down 6.1%. Narrow it to the quarter and 434 homes closed at $400,523 where 490 closed at $419,350 a year earlier, down 4.5%.

That is the distance between what sellers ask and what buyers hand over. 393 of the 646 Round Rock listings on September 21, 2026, 60.8%, were priced under what they first asked, against 57.3% across the Austin metro, and the $424,945 those sellers want at the median sits above the $400,523 the closings produced. Sellers do still get their number here: 97 of the 434 closings, 22.4%, took their original asking price or better. The label on 4.5 months of inventory is seller’s market, and that reading covers the town overall, with your own band answering for your house. Whether the timing argues for listing this fall is on should you sell your Round Rock home now, or wait?, and why some Round Rock listings never reach a buyer at all is on why aren’t homes selling in Round Rock?

Which Round Rock price band is your home in?

Your own $50,000 step, and the town median falls in the $400,000 to $449,999 one. That band closed 54 homes at a median $420,500 in a median 36 days at 96.5% of original asking, and it held 71 listings on September 21, 2026, 8 of them builder listings and 45 below original asking, at 3.9 months of inventory and a seller’s-market label for that band alone, since a price point changes which market a home is in.

One step up, the comparison changes. The $450,000 to $499,999 band closed 47 homes at a median $475,000 against 86 for sale, 23 of them builder listings, at 5.5 months and a balanced label for that band alone. Higher again the builder leaves the field: the 19 listings between $650,000 and $699,999 and the 13 above them include none flagged new construction. Every band is tabled on the Round Rock ZIP code scoreboard.

How is your appraised value different from what a buyer pays?

The Williamson Central Appraisal District sets an appraised value on your parcel once a year so that taxing units have a base to bill against, and a homestead cap, the state limit on how far the taxable portion may move between years, can sit under that figure. Neither is an offer on your house. What a buyer pays is the number written at closing, and the 434 Round Rock closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 produced a median of $400,523. WIR holds no appraisal data for this town and makes no claim about any single appraisal.

Watters International Realty is a real estate brokerage and not a tax or legal adviser. Questions about your own appraised value, your homestead cap, whether to protest, a PID or MUD assessment on your lot, or what a bond election would do to your own tax bill belong with a tax professional, and the record for your specific parcel is held by the Williamson Central Appraisal District (https://www.wcad.org). What WIR can tell you is what a buyer would pay.

Worth more than the new house if, worth less if

Your band, your ZIP code and your inspection report decide this one. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.

Landing on the upper half is still not a price. 393 of the 646 listings were priced under what they first asked, including where no builder stands.

Your situation

The town figures set the frame: $400,523 at the median, $401,000 for a resale, $399,180 for a new build, and $196 a square foot on what sold against the $220 builders ask. Your house decides the rest, and the comp you are holding may have closed when the twelve-month median was $420,000.

At your address, in the condition the house is in this month, what does a buyer put in an offer?
