Bouldin Creek sits between downtown and South Congress, and it trades like it. Over the past 12 months, 98 homes sold inside Bouldin Creek at a median of $965,750, and 11% sold above their asking price. At the same time, 57 homes were for sale in October 2026, about 7 months of inventory, and more than half of the sellers in the last year reduced their price before they sold.
Bouldin Creek is one of Austin’s oldest neighborhoods, with many homes dating to the 1920s and 1930s, yet the median year built of the homes that sold is 2012. That reflects how much new infill and condo construction has replaced older homes. Of the 98 sales, 63 were single-family homes and 35 were condos, from small two-home regimes to buildings like 2020 Congress and Bouldin Court. Buyers compare your home against the closest match in type, age and location.
This page breaks down what Bouldin Creek homes actually sold for, how long they took, and what separated the sellers who got close to their asking price from the ones who did not. If you want a number for your own home, the form at the bottom of the page goes straight to me.

What Is My Bouldin Creek Home Worth?
Two Bouldin Creek homes a block apart can sell for very different prices. These are the factors that move the number most in the closed sales I review here.
- Historic, remodeled or new. Restored bungalows, mid-century homes and new modern builds all trade here. The age and condition of the improvements decide which group of sales your home is measured against.
- House, condo regime or condo building. A detached home, a unit in a two-home regime and a unit in a larger building each have their own comps. Pricing a regime home against a detached home is one of the most common mistakes I see.
- Distance to South Congress and South 1st. Being able to walk to South Congress Avenue, South 1st Street and the restaurants along them is a big part of the price here. Blocks closer to busier roads or the rail line trade differently.
- Lot and parking. Off-street parking, a garage and a usable yard stand out on lots this size. Some homes also have a garage apartment or second unit, which buyers value when it is properly permitted.
- Outdoor space. Rooftop decks, covered porches and private yards matter in a dense neighborhood. About 27% of the homes that sold in the last 12 months had a private pool.
- Permits and major systems. On older homes, buyers look closely at foundation, roof, plumbing and electrical, and they ask for permits on additions and second units. Having records ready helps the negotiation.

How We Market Bouldin Creek Homes
- Pricing from closed comps and active competition. I pull the Bouldin Creek sales on your street and in your section, plus the nearby 78704 sales buyers will compare it to, and I review every active listing competing for the same buyers. Closed sales show what an appraiser will support; active listings show what buyers are touring the same weekend.
- Pre-listing walkthrough. Before photos, I walk the home with you and point out what is worth fixing, what to simply disclose, and what buyers in your price range will not care about. On older homes and homes with a second unit, we gather permit history before buyers ask.
- Professional photography and 3D tour. Every listing gets professional photography and a 3D virtual tour so buyers relocating from out of town can walk through your home before they schedule a showing.
- Full MLS and online exposure. Your listing goes to Unlock MLS and syndicates to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Homes.com and hundreds of other sites the day it goes live.
- Feedback, negotiation and closing. You get showing feedback, weekly activity updates and a straight conversation if the market tells us something needs to change. I handle offers, the inspection and appraisal negotiation, and keep the file moving to closing. For condos and condo regimes, I order the resale certificate and association documents early so they do not slow down the contract.

How long does it take to sell a home in Bouldin Creek?
Over the past 12 months, the median Bouldin Creek home spent 63 days on market and the average was 87 days. Homes priced right at launch went under contract in a median of 17 days, while homes that needed a price reduction took a median of 120 days. With about 7 months of inventory, the starting price matters more than ever.
What are typical closing costs for sellers in Bouldin Creek?
Seller closing costs in Texas usually run 5% to 8% of the sale price. That covers real estate commissions, the owner’s title policy, prorated property taxes, HOA or condo association transfer fees where they apply, and any repair credits negotiated with the buyer. At the Bouldin Creek median of $965,750, that works out to roughly $48,000 to $77,000.
How much do Bouldin Creek homes sell for compared to asking price?
Bouldin Creek homes sold for 95.0% of their final list price over the past 12 months, and 89.4% of their original list price. About 11% sold above their asking price. Sellers who never changed their price averaged 96.7% of their original asking price, compared with 85.6% for sellers who reduced.
How do I prepare my Bouldin Creek home for sale?
Start with the things buyers see first: fresh paint in a neutral color, clean floors, working light fixtures and a tidy front yard. Then address anything an inspector will flag, such as an older roof, HVAC service, plumbing leaks or wood rot. In a neighborhood with this many newer homes for sale, a pre-listing walkthrough tells you which projects help an older home compete.
Do I need to make repairs before listing my Bouldin Creek home?
Not always. Safety items and obvious deferred maintenance are usually worth fixing because buyers here have plenty of newer choices. If your home is likely to sell to a buyer who plans to remodel or rebuild, a big cosmetic project rarely pays for itself. We can decide item by item before you list.

Which Bouldin Creek homes sell the fastest?
Over the past 12 months, homes between $750,000 and $1 million were the most active segment, with 28 sales and a median of about 34 days on market. Homes from $1.5 million to $2 million had a median of 34 days. Homes from $1 million to $1.5 million and above $2 million took longer, with medians of 74 and 90 days.
