What buyers in 78735 are paying for

In Barton Creek, these features tend to separate the homes that sell from the ones that sit:

• Easy access to Loop 360, MoPac, and downtown
• The school assignment for the specific address

What to do before listing your 78735 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. Confirm the school assignment for your address before listing. It varies within 78735, and buyers will ask.

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