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

The median Travis Heights home sold for $892,500 over the 12 months ending September 2026, across 80 residential sales in the ACTRIS MLS. That is down 6.1% from $950,000 the year before. The median home for sale today is listed at $862,500. Because the area mixes condos, original bungalows and new construction, the right number for a specific home comes from the recent sales on its street and of its type, not the neighborhood median.

Over the last 12 months, Travis Heights single-family houses sold for a median of $1,075,000 across 59 sales, while condos sold for a median of $336,000 across 21 sales. That gap is why the overall median of $892,500 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.

Travis Heights is in a buyer-leaning market, with about 7.2 months of supply as of September 2026. 45% of homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 94.8% of its original list price, so there is room to negotiate on homes that launched above the recent sales. Homes priced in line with the market still move within the 43-day median, so negotiating room depends on how the specific home was priced, not on the area as a whole.

Slightly less, on the overall median. Over the last 12 months, Travis Heights sold at a median of $892,500 across 80 sales, while Bouldin Creek, just across South Congress, sold at $947,500 across 93 sales. Most of that gap is condos: Travis Heights condos had a median of $336,000 against $580,000 in Bouldin Creek. Houses were closer, at $1,075,000 in Travis Heights and $1,153,000 in Bouldin Creek. Travis Heights homes also sold faster, at a median of 43 days against 75.

Start with financing: the median Travis Heights house sold for $1,075,000, well above conforming loan limits, so most buyers need a jumbo approval, which takes longer. Then set up a saved search inside the Travis Heights boundary so new listings reach you the day they list, since well-priced homes go under contract inside the 43-day median. More than half of the houses that sold (33 of 59) were built before 1960, so budget time for foundation, sewer line and tree inspections before you commit.

Launching above the recent sales. Over the last year, 45% of Travis Heights homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 94.8% of its original list price. The homes that sold fastest launched in line with comparable sales nearby. A home that sits and cuts usually ends up below the price a well-set launch would have brought, and it spends extra weeks or months on the market getting there.

Yes, and the gap is bigger than size alone explains. Over the last 12 months, the 33 houses built before 1960 sold for a median of $916,000, with a median of 1,714 square feet. The 13 houses built in 2010 or later sold for a median of $2,250,000, with a median of 2,741 square feet. Per square foot, that is about $619 for the older homes and $728 for the newer ones. The 13 houses from 1960 to 2009 sat in between, at a median of $1,100,000.

The median Travis Heights home took 43 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 63 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 longer.

Travis Heights is in the 78704 ZIP code, which also covers Bouldin Creek, Zilker, Barton Hills and much of South Lamar. Because 78704 spans several distinct neighborhoods with very different mixes of condos, older cottages and new construction, ZIP-level statistics can point you the wrong way. The figures on this page are calculated only from sales inside the Travis Heights boundary, so they describe Travis Heights itself rather than the whole ZIP code.
