City Spotlight: Austin, Lakeway & Bee Cave

County-wide averages only tell part of the story — pricing, pace, and inventory vary a lot across Travis County. Here's how three of its most-searched markets compare right now:

Austin 3,050 active

Avg. Price: $1,002,919 Cost/Sq Ft: $382 Avg. Size: 2,410 sq ft Avg. DOM: 90 days Under Contract: 902

Homes within Austin city limits run above the countywide average on both price and cost per square foot ($1,002,919 and $382 vs. $914,979 and $340 countywide) — the urban-core premium is real. With 902 homes currently under contract against 3,050 active, Austin has the deepest pending pipeline of the three spotlighted markets.

Lakeway 84 active

Avg. Price: $1,243,567 Cost/Sq Ft: $343 Avg. Size: 3,381 sq ft Avg. DOM: 88 days Under Contract: 30

Lakeway carries the highest average list price of the three spotlighted cities, driven by larger lakeside and golf-course homes averaging 3,381 square feet. Notably, its 30 pending homes are averaging 135 days on market — well above the 88-day active average — suggesting Lakeway's higher-priced listings take real negotiating time to close, even once a buyer is engaged.

Bee Cave 8 active

Avg. Price: $1,120,612 Cost/Sq Ft: $307 Avg. Size: 3,590 sq ft Avg. DOM: 71 days Under Contract: 2

Bee Cave's active inventory is the smallest of the three spotlighted cities — just 8 listings — but also the fastest-moving, averaging 71 days on market versus 88–90 days in Lakeway and Austin. Limited supply in this Hill Country suburb means well-priced new listings tend not to sit long.

Average List Price by City (Active Listings)
Lakeway$1,243,567
Bee Cave$1,120,612
Austin$1,002,919
Travis County (all)$914,979

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers

  • Austin city limits carry the steepest premium of the three spotlighted markets — buyers open to Lakeway or Bee Cave may find more square footage for the money outside the urban core
  • Lakeway's long pending timeline (135 days average) signals room for negotiation on price and terms even after an offer is accepted
  • Working with a local team like Texas Pride Realty Group helps buyers see which listings across Travis County are priced in line with what's actually converting to contract

For Sellers

  • Bee Cave's shorter 71-day average time on market suggests well-priced listings there are moving faster than the county average
