Expect multiple offers, especially on homes under $2M. Pre-approval and flexible terms help buyers stand out.
Understand Property Taxes
Travis County’s property tax rate averages around 1.67%, but values are higher here due to demand.
Lifestyle Perks

The market remains seller-advantaged thanks to limited inventory and consistent school-driven demand. Buyers relocating from California, New York, and Chicago prioritize districts like Eanes, often paying cash for turnkey properties.
Top tips for sellers:
Highlight school proximity — list exact school names in marketing.
Stage intentionally — buyers here value modern, calm, move-in-ready spaces.
