Travis County Under-Contract Market
Properties currently under contract average approximately $725,360, or $297/sq. ft., with an average size of 2,308 square feet and 115 days on market. The lower average asking price among pending properties than among the full active pool suggests that the homes reaching contract are concentrated below the county's active-listing average, although pending price is not the same thing as final sale price.

Austin

Lakeway carries the highest average active price of the spotlight markets at $1,239,441. Its 80 active properties average 98 days on market, while the under-contract group averages 139 days.
Lakeway Market ReportBee Cave
Bee Cave is a very small snapshot: only nine active properties and one under contract were exposed when checked. Its $1,021,443 active average therefore can move sharply when only a few listings enter or leave the market.
Bee Cave Market ReportHighest-Priced Active Listings in the Spotlight Markets
| Market | Address | List Price | Beds | Baths | Sq. Ft. | DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Austin | 15016 Flat Top Ranch Rd | $20,000,000 | 6 | 7 | 9,725 | 355 |
| Lakeway | 909 Brooks Hollow Rd | $4,495,000 | 4 | 4 | 5,000 | 3 |
| Bee Cave | 5201 Great Divide Dr | $1,795,000 | 4 | 5 | 3,950 | 79 |
The county capture itself contains an important outlier: 19101 Veranda Walk is displayed at $63,000,000 with no beds, baths, living area or price-per-square-foot data. Because that record is incomplete and unusually high, it should not be treated as a representative Travis County home. The next countywide listing shown is 15016 Flat Top Ranch Road at $20 million.
What the Numbers Mean for Buyers
Inventory and market times indicate that many Travis County buyers have room to compare properties rather than make decisions from scarcity alone. Austin provides the broadest selection; Lakeway's pricing reflects its higher-end housing mix and lake-oriented market; and Bee Cave's small sample makes individual listings especially influential. Buyers should compare a property's pricing against its immediate neighborhood and property type rather than relying on the county average by itself.
What the Numbers Mean for Sellers
With active inventory averaging 96 days on market, positioning matters. The under-contract pool has a materially lower average asking price than the active pool. That does not prove that lower-priced homes always sell faster, but it does reinforce the importance of realistic pricing, property condition and direct comparison with the homes buyers are actually choosing.
