What buyers in 78702 are paying for

In East Austin, these features tend to separate the homes that sell from the ones that sit:

• A short trip to downtown, the Eastside dining scene, and Plaza Saltillo
• New or fully renovated homes with modern layouts
• Lots that allow a second unit or have one already
• Quiet interior streets away from the busiest corridors

Prices in 78702 are up 5.1% from a year ago. Even so, buyers compare every listing to recent sales, so overpricing still costs time.

What to do before listing your 78702 home

Start with a comparative market analysis built on closed sales near your home, not the whole ZIP code. Then fix the items an inspector is likely to flag. If your lot has a second unit, an ADU, or room for one, document it. In 78702 that flexibility can be a real part of the price.

In addition, check your home’s appraisal history on the Travis Central Appraisal District property search, since buyers often look too.
