What buyers in 78703 are paying for

In Tarrytown and Clarksville, these features tend to separate the homes that sell from the ones that sit:

  • Established, walkable streets close to downtown
  • Updated historic homes that keep their original character
  • Lot size and mature trees, especially in Tarrytown
  • Access to Lake Austin, Mayfield Park, and Reed Park

Prices in 78703 are down 9.0% from a year ago. As a result, buyers have more room to negotiate, and homes priced to last year’s market tend to sit.

What to do before listing your 78703 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. Historic homes draw close inspection. Have recent records for the roof, foundation, plumbing, and electrical ready, since older systems are what 78703 buyers ask about first.

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