Top-Rated Real Estate Agents for Texas Buyers and Sellers

Is your Spicewood home competing with builders or with the neighbors?

Quick answer

As of October 16, 2026, builders hold 18.8% of the homes for sale in Spicewood, which leaves resale listings as the larger share of what your buyer tours. In my read, your competition is mostly your neighbors’ homes, with builders setting the ceiling in the price ranges where they list.

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.

Builders list in communities from Angel Bay and Brahmans Draw to Sola Vista and Thomas Ranch Loraloma, and also in Barton Creek Lakeside, West Cypress Hills and Rees Landing Estates. The competition is spread across many small communities, and no single one carries it.

Barton Creek Lakeside has a median build year of 1997 and still has builder listings, so a seller there can face older resales and new construction on the same tour. Rees Landing Estates, with a median build year of 2025, is closer to a pure builder community.

Windermere Oaks does not appear in the MLS list of communities with builder listings, so a seller there is mostly up against other resales. West Cypress Hills does appear, and the typical home that sold there was built in 2024.

In my read, that difference is the first thing to settle about your own address, because a buyer in West Cypress Hills is likely to see a builder’s home the same day and a buyer in Windermere Oaks is likely to see another resale.

Are builders competing at my price?

Builders show up most just under $1,250,000. The $1,000,000 to $1,249,999 range has 7 new builds for sale, more than any other range.

Table 3. Spicewood homes by price range. Sales are from the 90 days ending October 15, 2026; homes for sale are as of October 16, 2026. A range is a seller’s market when homes sell for at least 97% of their original asking price, balanced from 94% to 97%, and a buyer’s market below 94%. Each reading is for that price range only; a different price point changes which market a home is in. Only price ranges with at least 10 sales in the last 90 days are shown. Source: Unlock MLS.

Table 3 has one row, because $1,250,000 to $1,499,999 is the only range with enough sales for the table, and a resale there sits beside new builds.

In my read, a seller in a range with few new builds is competing with the neighbor’s resale. How each range is reading is on Why do Spicewood homes take longer to sell than Lakeway’s at a lower price?

What are the other resale sellers doing?

Resale sellers asked a typical $980,000 across the 182 resale listings, and most of those listings are priced below their original asking price, 100 in all.

A resale listing has been up a median 101 days so far and a builder listing a median 104, so a buyer is choosing between two kinds of home that have both waited a while.

The resale asking median is a typical figure for the whole town. Your own asking price sits against the resale listings in your community, and those are the ones that set the comparison.

In my read, a resale that opened at a price recent closings support stands out to a buyer who has just seen cuts elsewhere. The timing question for resale sellers is on Is waiting for a better price really the cautious move for a Spicewood seller?

Where does a resale come out ahead?

In my read, a Spicewood resale earns the tour by being move-in ready and by opening at a price its community’s recent sales support. A buyer who has just seen a listing that cut is looking for the home that did not need to.

Your situation

Spicewood has plenty of homes for sale, and a buyer tours only a few of them. If you live in Windermere Oaks, the ones that matter are the other resales there; in West Cypress Hills, builders are part of the tour.

For your house, then: which homes would a buyer see this week at the price you have in mind, and what does yours offer that they do not?
