New builds were 8.2% of Wimberley closings in the three months ending October 15, 2026, and homes closed at 94.6% of original asking, so the town reads balanced overall. A price point changes which market a home is in. In my read, in Woodcreek and the rest of a town of mostly resales, your price is judged against your neighbors’ prices more than against a builder’s.

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.

18 Wimberley homeowners have trusted my real estate team to sell their home in the MLS, and that count doesn’t include a single buyer we’ve represented. Everything on this page comes from the same MLS record we used to price those homes.
Every number on this page is also broken out in the tables on Is Wimberley carrying too many homes for sale? What the 78676 numbers show.
Last updated October 16, 2026. Sales data covers the 90 days ending October 15, 2026 and the twelve months ending the same day (Unlock MLS via MLS Grid); listing inventory as of October 16, 2026.
Taken as a whole, the Wimberley market is balanced. Over the last three months, homes closed at 94.6% of their original asking price, which puts the town in the balanced range by the rule I use, and that is the reading for the town overall. A price point changes which market a home is in.
The supply count looks looser than that. Wimberley carries 12.6 months of inventory against 6.0 for the Austin metro. Months of inventory is the time it would take to clear every listing at the current pace of sales if no new homes arrived. In my read the gap comes from listings priced above what buyers pay: the supply count includes them, and the closings do not. I go with what buyers paid, because that is what sellers actually got.
Summer is the strongest selling season, and the last three months run from the middle of July to the middle of October. The full year reads differently for the town, and the two readings sit side by side on Sell your Wimberley home now, or wait? Three months and a year disagree.
The chart below puts the town and its ZIP code beside the metro on months of inventory.
Builders are a small part of the Wimberley market.
Homes built before 2000 were the largest group among the closings, with 21 sold. A seller of an older home has recent sales of its own kind to point to.
The busiest subdivisions are Woodcreek sections. Woodcreek Sec 19 closed 11 homes over the past twelve months and the typical one was built in 2025, so in my read it is the town’s clearest builder community.
A seller in an older Woodcreek section is likely to be weighed against another resale, while a seller near Woodcreek Sec 19 may be weighed against a builder’s home. The communities and the builders behind them are laid out on Which Woodcreek or other Wimberley homes will your buyer tour instead?
Closings were 224 over the past twelve months, against 267 over the twelve months before, down 16.1%.
In my read, fewer sales mean each sale carries more weight, and a seller needs the sales closest to their own home more than the town figure. Whether prices moved over the same stretch is answered, with both periods, on Is the Wimberley median price the right number to price your home to?
The ZIP code reads the same as the town. For the last three months the two matched on every measure I track, and over the past twelve months 78676 closed 223 sales against the town’s 224.
The scoreboard for the ZIP code, with a table behind every figure, is on Is Wimberley carrying too many homes for sale? What the 78676 numbers show.
The first risk is reading the town as one market. Wimberley is balanced over the last three months and a buyer’s market over the full year, for the town overall, and the three-month reading comes from the summer selling season. I check any listing price against both.
The second is a price range with few recent sales. No price range in Wimberley reached 10 sales in the last three months, so I read each range on the twelve-month basis and say so every time.
The third is pricing to a headline number such as the town median, when a buyer pays for the home in front of them.
Pick the page that matches your worry. The wait for a contract is explained on Is a slow Wimberley market the problem, or is it the first price? The timing, competition, price and ZIP questions are linked in the sections above that cover them, and the full list sits at the end of this page.
The town reading is where the conversation starts, and your price and your street finish it. Your street may sit in a different reading than the town, and running your address shows which one.
The list at the end of this page links every Wimberley page that bears on your decision.
Wimberley has a deep shelf of homes for sale and few new builds among them, so the other home on a buyer’s tour is usually another resale. A listing is decided by the price it opens at and the neighbor’s price beside it.
For your house, then: at the price you would open at, which resales stand next to it on a buyer’s list, and what does yours offer that they do not?
If you worry your home will join the resales that keep cutting their price, start by seeing what it would be up against. Request my complimentary Home Competitor Analysis for your address. You get:

Chris Watters’s position, stated September 9, 2026. WIR does not forecast prices; the figures on this page are one period’s measurements.
There is pent-up demand in the market. Tons of buyers on the sidelines not purchasing. This is because there is a lack of alignment between the sellers’ personal wants and what a buyer can afford. Affordability has been severely impacted because of interest rates. Interest rates and home prices move in opposite directions in most instances. However, unlike Wall Street, the market is not that fluid. But in reality, it should be.
In my read, buyers waiting on the sidelines in Wimberley are mostly choosing among resales, since builders hold only 9.7% of the homes for sale. A buyer stretched by affordability compares your price with the other resales first.

Primary records used: Unlock MLS (ACTRIS) listing and closing records via MLS Grid for Residential properties in the MLS city of Wimberley and its ZIP code; the Hays Central Appraisal District holds the record for any specific parcel.
