What does it cost to buy a home in Holly right now?

The median Holly home sold for $672,500 over the 12 months ending September 2026, across 58 residential sales in the ACTRIS MLS. That is down 12.9% from $772,000 the year before. The median home for sale today is listed at $770,000. Because Holly mixes older bungalows, new builds and condos, the right number for a specific home comes from recent sales of the same type and age nearby.

Over the last 12 months, Holly single-family houses sold for a median of $745,000 across 44 sales, while condos sold for a median of $394,000 across 14 sales. That gap is why the neighborhood median of $672,500 is a poor guide for any one budget. Filter the live search by property type first, then compare against recent sales of that same type and age.

Holly is in a buyer's market, with about 7.2 months of supply as of September 2026. 42% of homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 95.0% of its original list price. That gives buyers more choice than in most central neighborhoods. Negotiating room depends on how the specific home was priced, not on the neighborhood as a whole.

Measured the same way over the same 12 months, Holly had a median sale of $672,500 across 58 sales, compared with $599,900 across 43 sales in Cherrywood and $521,000 across 128 sales in Windsor Park. Holly's number is lifted by its share of new construction. Each median is pulled by its own mix of older houses, new builds and condos, so compare the same home type, age and size.

Set up a saved search inside the Holly boundary so new listings reach you the day they list. With about 7 months of supply, you can take time to compare, and 42% of sold homes had a price cut. For a new build, ask about the builder warranty and whether the lot is shared with a second home. For an older house, budget for foundation and sewer line inspections.

Launching above the recent sales. Over the last year, 42% of Holly homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 95.0% of its original list price. The homes that sold fastest launched in line with comparable sales nearby, of the same type and size. Pricing an older house off the new builds on the same street 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.

Somewhat. Of the 44 Holly houses that sold over the last 12 months, the 26 built in 2010 or later had a median of $785,000, and the 16 built before 1960 had a median of $625,000. That gap is smaller than in many central Austin neighborhoods, which means lot, size and finish matter as much as age here. Price a home against sales of the same age and size on nearby streets.

The median Holly home took 40.5 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 81.5 days. Add roughly 30 to 45 days from contract to closing. A year ago the median was 81.5 days, so the market has sped up, but homes that need a price cut still take several months longer.

All 58 Holly sales over the last year were in the 78702 ZIP code. That ZIP covers much of central East Austin, so ZIP-level statistics blend neighborhoods with very different housing. The figures on this page are calculated only from sales inside the Holly boundary: a median of $672,500 across 58 sales, with houses at $745,000 and condos at $394,000.

Request a home value from us and we will price it against the Holly sales that actually match it: same home type, similar size, age and condition, and nearby streets, from the last 12 months of ACTRIS MLS closings. For context, the neighborhood median was $672,500 across 58 sales, and the typical home closed at 95.0% of its original list price. In a neighborhood with this much new construction, an online estimate that cannot see age, finish and lot layout is often far off.
