What to do before listing your 78756 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. Do not read too much into the 21% drop. 78756 has few sales, so the median swings a lot. Price against the closest recent sales.

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