Did Apache Shores prices go up?

The typical sale did, because slightly bigger homes sold. Price per square foot slipped a little, so value per foot is about flat. Homes that sold went for close to their original asking price, a better result than the year before, which is why the neighborhood moved from a buyer’s market to balanced for the neighborhood as a whole, whatever your own price range.

What is an Apache Shores home up against?

A lot of supply. On the twelve-month pace there are several months of homes for sale, and the Lake Travis ZIP around it has the heaviest supply in West Austin. Hausman Homes has a new home listed, but resales are the real competition.
