Why a Local, Professional Valuation Beats Online Estimates

Automated estimates can miss upgrades, location nuance, and hyperlocal demand. A professional valuation prepared by an Austin, Texas real estate agent accounts for lot orientation, roof and foundation condition, energy features, school zone boundaries, and seasonal buyer behavior specific to South Austin. Brandon Holley and Holley Homes Realty pair on-the-ground experience with data so your list price strategy reflects the market you’re actually in—not a national average.

What the Data Says About 78748 and South Austin

Pricing reflects supply, demand, and rates. Three credible, current data points we use to frame your valuation:

• Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey® reported the average 30‑year fixed rate at 6.35% and the 15‑year at 5.50% as of September 11, 2025. Lower rates generally widen buyer pools and can support stronger pricing. [Source]
• The Austin‑Round Rock‑San Marcos MSA registered 5.8 months of inventory in May 2025, with the region’s median price at $449,900—signaling a more balanced market compared to recent years. [Source]
• In 78748, Realtor.com reported a median listing price of about $449,000 in August 2025, with list‑price trends down ~2.4% year over year, helping sellers calibrate expectations and buyers benchmark value. [Source]

Data sources inform the story, but they never replace a property‑specific analysis. We reconcile comps, condition, and buyer demand to produce a pricing strategy tuned to your home.

How We Build Your Free Home Valuation (Step‑By‑Step)

1. Property Interview:
   • We confirm upgrades, roof/HVAC age, foundation history, and energy‑efficiency features.
2. Micro‑Market Map:
   • We pull active, pending, and sold comps within 0.5–1.0 miles in 78748, adjusting for bed/bath count, square footage, lot size, and renovation level.
3. Demand Signals:
   • We analyze days on market, list‑to‑close ratios, and price‑band activity for South Austin. We also monitor showing activity and open‑house traffic across brokerage channels.
4. Rate & Seasonality Overlay:
   • We incorporate weekly rate moves and upcoming seasonal patterns (school calendars, holidays, Q4 corporate relocations).
5. Pricing & Launch Plan:
   • We recommend a price band, timing window, and a media plan (prep, staging, professional visuals).

Smart Pricing Strategies for 78748

1. Price Banding:
   • Position your listing just inside common online search brackets (e.g., $399K, $424,900, $449K) to maximize visibility.
2. First‑Two‑Weeks Momentum:
   • The highest‑quality traffic often arrives in the first 10–14 days. Align pricing with that surge.
3. Concessions vs. Price:
   • When rates stall, targeted concessions (rate buydowns or closing‑cost credits) can beat straight price cuts without compromising perceived value.
4. Pre‑Inspections:
   • Addressing known repair items up front reduces renegotiation risk and protects your net.
