  • Lakeway amenities and golf
  • Lake Travis ISD schools

What to do before listing your 78734 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 home is on or near the water, check current lake levels on the LCRA site before listing. Buyers will ask how the water level affects your property.

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