Travis Heights - Downtown Austin Texas Neighborhood - Home Sales Trends - 2008

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Austin Texas Homes, LLC 453249

Travis Heights is an eclectic and beautiful neighborhood nestled on the southern edge of downtown Austin, just across scenic Lady Bird Lake south of Riverside Drive.  Located very near I-35, Barton Springs, Zilker Park (which is much like Austin's version of Central Park), and much more, this area offers unique homes, convenience, and a sense of community.  The tree-lined streets look like something out of a movie set.

 

For the purposes of this post, I compiled data from the Austin MLS system to give you some idea of how briskly homes are selling in Travis Heights, and for what price. 

 

Currently, there are 28 homes available in Travis Heights, with an average asking price of $706,005.  The average square footage for these homes is 2,560, for an average price per square foot of $286.44. 

Over the past six months, there were 14 sales closed within Travis Heights.  The average listing price was $514,719 and the average sales price was $497,646.  This means that homes sold for  96.7% of the list price.  The average number of days on the market was 78 days , which is slightly less than the average for the entire Austin market right now.  The square footage of the homes sold averaged 1,846, and the price per square foot for the sales was $277.
