Over the last two years the median $1 million-plus golf home near Austin was roughly flat, $1,375,000 then $1,348,000, while sales rose and homes sold faster. That is a steady market, not a forecast. What protects value best is buying a home priced in line with recent sales of its own type in its own community, with a lot that plays well against the course, which is where Rick spends most of his time with buyers.

Beyond the usual inspections: golf-ball easements and how the lot plays against the course, HOA and architectural rules, flood zone on creek-side lots, and whether a seller's club membership can transfer. On newer custom homes, ask for the builder's warranty and permits for any additions. On older estates, budget for roofs, foundations and systems. And start the club conversation early; the membership timeline is often longer than the closing.

Most homes in this range need a jumbo loan or cash, so get that settled first. Then save a search for this page's filters so new listings reach you the day they list, and tour the club as well as the house. Membership is separate from the home at most Austin clubs. Rick can arrange clubhouse tours and introductions and will flag homes he hears about through club members before they list.

Rick is a member at Westlake Country Club and keeps member and staff relationships across the other clubs, which is often how he hears about a home before it lists. He will narrow the 14 clubs to the two or three that fit your game and budget, compare each home against recent sales of its own type in its own community, and make the membership introductions sponsored clubs expect. He will also host serious buyers for a round at Westlake.
