What is selling in 78745 right now — and what is sitting

The 78745 listings that draw steady showings share a few traits. First, they are priced within a few percent of recent closed sales in the same neighborhood. Second, they show well, with professional photos and no obvious deferred maintenance.

In contrast, the listings sitting in 78745 are usually priced to last year’s market. As a result, they collect showings without offers and end up cutting price. Because buyers can see every price cut online, a late reduction often costs more than pricing right on day one.

What to do before listing your 78745 home

Start with a comparative market analysis. It should use closed sales from your own neighborhood, not the whole ZIP code. Next, fix the items a buyer’s inspector will flag, such as roof wear, HVAC age, and foundation issues. Then invest in professional photography and a clean, simple presentation.

In addition, check your appraised value on the Travis Central Appraisal District property search. After all, buyers often look at it too. For more preparation ideas, see how to increase home value before selling in Austin.
