What is the Great Hills market doing right now?

Great Hills prices are about flat from a year ago, with more homes selling and fewer price cuts. Over the last 12 months, 133 homes sold at a median of $789,000, up 1.2% from $780,000 the year before, on 105 sales.

Homes are moving faster. The median home went under contract in 26 days, down from 27 days. The typical home sold for 96.3% of its original list price, up from 95.5%. The share of sold homes that had a price cut dropped from 42% to 37%.

With 42 homes for sale and about 11.1 sales a month, Great Hills has 3.8 months of supply. That is a balanced market that leans toward sellers: homes priced to the recent sales go quickly, and buyers have some room on homes that launched high.

What does a home in Great Hills cost?

The median Great Hills sale over the last year was $789,000. Single-family houses, 116 of the 133 sales, sold for a median of $820,000. The 11 condo sales had a median of $241,000, and the 6 townhome sales had a median of $545,000.

Most of the houses here were built in the 1980s and 1990s: none of the houses sold were built before 1960, and only 3 were built in 2010 or later. The median home for sale today is listed at $924,000, and the most expensive active listing is $2,749,900.

How fast do Great Hills homes sell?

The median Great Hills home took 26 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. 37% of the homes that sold had cut their price at least once, and the typical sale closed at 96.3% of the 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 inside the median, and homes that launch above them tend to sit and cut.

Great Hills is in northwest Austin in the 78759 ZIP code, west of US 183 (Research Boulevard) around Great Hills Trail, with the Arboretum shopping district at its eastern edge. It is about 20 minutes from downtown, and the Great Hills golf course sits inside the neighborhood.

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 Great Hills boundary. 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. Sale price vs. original list is a median, and active counts include houses, condos and townhomes only, so the live search, which also shows land and multifamily, can list more. We publish neighborhood totals only, never an individual home's sale price.

Great Hills questions, answered

What is the median home price in Great Hills, Austin?

The median Great Hills home sold for $789,000 over the 12 months ending September 2026, across 133 residential sales in the ACTRIS MLS. That is up 1.2% from $780,000 the year before. The median home for sale today is listed at $924,000. Because most sales here are houses of similar age, size, lot and updates drive most of the spread around the median.

How much does a house in Great Hills cost compared with a condo?

Over the last 12 months, Great Hills single-family houses sold for a median of $820,000 across 116 sales, while condos sold for a median of $241,000 across 11 sales. The 6 townhome sales had a median of $545,000. Houses make up most of the market, so the neighborhood median of $789,000 is mostly a house number. Filter the live search by property type first, then compare against sales of that same type.

Is now a good time to buy in Great Hills?

Great Hills is in a balanced market, with about 3.8 months of supply as of September 2026. 37% of homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 96.3% of its original list price. Homes priced in line with the market move within the 26-day median. Negotiating room depends on how the specific home was priced, not on the neighborhood as a whole.

Is Great Hills cheaper than Northwest Hills?

Yes. Measured the same way over the same 12 months, Great Hills had a median sale of $789,000 across 133 sales, compared with $970,000 across 153 sales in Northwest Hills. Comparing houses only, Great Hills was $820,000 and Northwest Hills $1,175,000. Great Hills homes also sold closer to their original list price, at 96.3% against 94.5%. Compare the same home type, size and lot before deciding.

How do I buy a home in Great Hills?

Set up a saved search inside the Great Hills boundary so new listings reach you the day they list, since the median home goes under contract in 26 days. Many homes sit on sloped, wooded lots, so budget time for foundation, drainage and tree inspections. For houses from the 1980s and 1990s, check the roof, windows and HVAC age, and ask about any homeowners association dues and rules.

What is the most common mistake sellers make in Great Hills?

Launching above the recent sales. Over the last year, 37% of Great Hills homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 96.3% of its original list price. The homes that sold fastest launched in line with comparable sales nearby, of the same type and size. Pricing a dated house off the remodeled ones nearby is the most common version of this mistake. A home that sits and cuts usually ends up below the price a well-set launch would have brought.

Do newer houses in Great Hills sell for more?

A little. Splitting last year's 116 house sales by build decade, the 23 built before 1980 had a median of $820,000, the 49 from the 1980s $766,000, the 36 from the 1990s $895,000, and the 8 built in 2000 or later $937,500. The 1980s houses, the largest group, sold for the least. Size, lot and updates still explain more of the spread than build year.

How long does it take to sell a house in Great Hills?

The median Great Hills home took 26 days to go under contract over the last 12 months, counted on cumulative days on market so relisted homes are not reset. That is faster than the year before, when the median was 27 days. Add roughly 30 to 45 days from contract to closing. A home priced in line with recent sales on launch day usually beats the median; one that needs a price cut usually takes several months longer.

What ZIP code is Great Hills in?

For context, the neighborhood median was $789,000 across 133 sales, and the typical home closed at 96.3% of its original list price. An online estimate cannot see lot, view or how recently a house was updated, which drive most of the spread here.
