Are there still good flip opportunities in South Austin? If you’ve been asking that question, you’re not alone—and the answer is yes, especially if you’re looking in the right pocket. Enter 10106 Lindshire Ln, located in Tanglewood Forest, one of 78748’s most established and sought-after neighborhoods. This off-market, owner-occupied home is priced at $320,000 and offers serious potential for the savvy investor or contractor looking to capitalize on South Austin’s continued growth.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home needs work—foundation, roof, and full cosmetic upgrades—but it sits in one of the most conveniently located areas in 78748, just minutes from H-E-B, Southpark Meadows, and quick access to both MoPac and I-35. With rates trending downward, local investor activity is ticking up. Now is the time to act.

Why Tanglewood Forest and 78748 Make Sense for Investors

Tanglewood Forest is more than just a neighborhood—it’s a thriving community with parks, trails, pool amenities, and proximity to top-rated schools. In recent years, homes in this area have seen solid appreciation thanks to a combination of job growth, buyer migration from higher-priced ZIPs like 78704, and limited resale inventory.

Key ZIP Code Stats (78748):

• Median home value: $452,000 (Zillow, August 2025)
• Annual appreciation: 4.8% (Austin Board of Realtors)
• Days on market (updated homes): Avg. 9-14 days

Tanglewood Forest, specifically, offers a blend of mature trees, no HOA restrictions, and a consistent buyer pool looking for homes with character and backyard space. For an investor, that means strong ARV (after-repair value) potential—especially with high-quality comps nearby closing in the $475K–$525K range after renovation.

Flip Potential: 10106 Lindshire Ln Breakdown

This property isn’t for the faint of heart, but it checks all the boxes for an experienced flipper or value-driven buyer:

• 3 beds / 2 baths
• Off-market opportunity
• Owner-occupied
• Estimated repairs: Foundation + roof + full cosmetic ($80K–$100K typical scope)

Why This Timing Works: Rates and Inventory Shift

According to Freddie Mac’s September 2025 PMMS® report, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.50%, down from 6.56% the previous week. That shift is expanding the buyer pool.

“Mortgage rates continue to trend down, increasing optimism for new buyers and current owners alike.” — Sam Khater, Freddie Mac Chief Economist

At the same time, active inventory in South Austin has dipped 12% year-over-year, and buyer activity typically rebounds after Labor Day. If you’re planning to flip, targeting a Q1 or early Q2 2026 listing means riding into a seasonally strong market, when buyer demand and tax return-fueled down payments kick in.

Local Infrastructure = Long-Term Upside

Tanglewood Forest sits in an area benefiting from continued infrastructure and lifestyle development:

• Quick access to MoPac & I-35: Ideal for commuters, especially hybrid tech workers heading to Apple, Oracle, or Tesla.
• Southpark Meadows: Dining, shopping, and entertainment anchor buyers to the area.
• Pullen Park & Tanglewood Forest Pool: Adds community value and walkability.
• Great schools: Zoned to Cowan Elementary and Covington Middle, both AISD.
• High rental demand: Ideal for BRRRR investors or short-term hold strategies.
