What is the Bee Cave market doing right now?

Bee Cave homes sold for less than a year ago, but they sold much faster and closer to their asking prices. Over the last 12 months, 84 homes sold at a median of $830,000, down 5.6% from $879,025 the year before, on 82 sales.

Homes are moving faster. The median home went under contract in 38 days, down from about 58 days. Sellers are getting closer to their first number: the typical home sold for 95.3% of its original list price, up from 93.6%. The share of sold homes that needed a price cut dropped from 55% to 39%.

With 26 homes for sale and about 7.0 sales a month, Bee Cave has 3.7 months of supply. That is a seller's market. Well-priced homes still move quickly and buyers have limited room to negotiate on them, though homes that launched high are a different story.

What does a home in Bee Cave cost?

Bee Cave is mostly houses. Of the 84 sales over the last 12 months, 80 were single-family houses at a median of $849,338, and 4 were condos at a median of $620,000. The housing is relatively new: the median sold house was built in 2010, and 41 of the 80 were built in 2010 or later. The median sold house had about 3,109 square feet and sold for about $294 a square foot. The median home for sale today is listed at $932,000, and the most expensive active listing is $3,500,000.

How fast do Bee Cave homes sell?

The median Bee Cave home took 38 days from listing to contract over the last 12 months, counted on cumulative days on market so a relisted home is not reset to zero. 39 percent of the homes that sold had cut their price at least once, and the typical home closed at 95.3% of its original list price.

For sellers, the practical read is that the first price does the work. Homes that launch in line with the recent sales go under contract well inside the median, and homes that launch above them tend to sit, cut, and sell for less than a well-priced launch would have brought.

Where is Bee Cave?

Bee Cave is a small city west of Austin where Highway 71 meets RM 620, about 15 miles from downtown. It is in the 78738 ZIP code, with the Hill Country Galleria at its center, Lakeway to the north and Spicewood to the west along Highway 71.

How we read these numbers

These figures are residential closed sales (single-family, condo and townhome) from the ACTRIS MLS whose location falls inside the Bee Cave city boundary used by our map search. Leases and sales under $40,000 are excluded. The current period is the 12 months ending September 27, 2026, compared with the 12 months before it. Days on market are cumulative. The for-sale count covers active single-family, condo and townhome listings; the map search also shows lots, land and other listing types, so its total can be higher. We publish area totals only, never an individual home's sale price.

Bee Cave questions, answered

What is the median home price in Bee Cave?

The median Bee Cave home sold for $830,000 over the 12 months ending September 2026, across 84 residential sales in the ACTRIS MLS. That is down 5.6% from $879,025 the year before. The median home for sale today is listed at $932,000. With fewer than 100 sales a year inside the city boundary, a handful of large or small sales can move the median, so price a specific home from similar recent sales.

How much house does the median price buy in Bee Cave?

Over the last 12 months, Bee Cave single-family houses sold for a median of $849,338 across 80 sales. The median sold house had about 3,109 square feet, at about $294 a square foot, and was built in 2010. There were only 4 condo sales, at a median of $620,000. Newer construction is common here, so buyers often compare builder finishes and lot sizes more than age.

Is now a good time to buy in Bee Cave?

Bee Cave has about 3.7 months of supply as of September 2026, which leans toward sellers. The median home went under contract in 38 days, down from 58, and the share of sold homes that cut their price fell from 55% to 39%. The typical home closed at 95.3% of its original list price. Prices are lower than a year ago, but the easy negotiating of last year has faded.

Is Bee Cave more expensive than Lakeway?

At the median, yes. Over the same 12 months, Bee Cave homes sold for a median of $830,000 across 84 sales, and Lakeway homes sold for a median of $750,000 across 428 sales. Much of that gap is mix: Lakeway has a sizable condo market and more older homes. Comparing single-family houses only, Bee Cave's median was $849,338 and Lakeway's was $812,250.

How do I buy a home in Bee Cave?

Set up a saved search inside the Bee Cave boundary, since only 26 homes are for sale today and the median home went under contract in 38 days. Get financing approved before you tour. About half the houses that sold were built in 2010 or later, so ask about remaining builder warranties and review HOA rules. On hill country lots, have drainage and any septic system inspected.

What is the most common mistake sellers make in Bee Cave?

Pricing off last year's numbers. The median Bee Cave sale fell 5.6% over the last 12 months, and 39% of homes that sold still had to cut their price. The typical home closed at 95.3% of its original list price. The homes that went under contract inside the 38-day median were priced against the most recent sales, not the highest listing nearby.

Are newer homes common in Bee Cave?

Yes, measured over the last 12 months. Of the 80 single-family houses that sold inside the Bee Cave city boundary, 41 were built in 2010 or later, and the median sold house was built in 2010. Only 3 were built in 2020 or later, so most of what sells is a resale rather than a brand-new home. That makes roof, HVAC and water heater age worth checking even on newer-looking homes.

How long does it take to sell a house in Bee Cave?

The median Bee Cave home took 38 days to go under contract over the last 12 months, counted on cumulative days on market so relisted homes are not reset. That is much faster than the year before, when the median was 58 days. Add roughly 30 to 45 days from contract to closing. A home priced in line with recent sales usually beats the median; one that needs a cut takes longer.

What ZIP code is Bee Cave in?

Bee Cave is in the 78738 ZIP code, and all 84 sales inside the city boundary over the last 12 months carried a 78738 address. Many of those listings show Austin as the mailing city rather than Bee Cave. The 78738 ZIP code also covers parts of Lakeway and areas along Highway 71, so ZIP-level statistics blend different markets. The figures here come only from sales inside the Bee Cave city boundary.

How do I find out what my Bee Cave home is worth?

Request a home value from us and we will price it against the Bee Cave sales that actually match it: similar size, age, lot and neighborhood, from the last 12 months of ACTRIS MLS closings. For context, the city median was $830,000 across 84 sales, and the typical home closed at 95.3% of its original list price. An online estimate cannot see finishes, views or lot quality, which drive much of the spread here.
