Selling and Buying at the Same Time in Anderson Mill
Selling one home and buying the next, with the order, the money and the move worked out before you commit to either.
Selling and Buying at the Same Time in Anderson Mill: what's different here
Selling one home and buying the next starts with one question: sell first or buy first? Many Anderson Mill owners move up to Canyon Creek or Great Hills, and many buyers arrive here stepping up from an apartment or a starter home.
The answer depends on how much of your next down payment is in your current home and what carrying two homes for a while would cost.
Talk about Anderson Mill
Why Anderson Mill buyers work with me
I grew up in Northwest Austin, have lived here since 1976 and have lived on the Mountain in the Spicewood Estates area since 2004. When I run both sides of a move, the dates line up because one person is planning them. In Anderson Mill, a home competes with many of the same era and layout, so condition, updates and the Westwood pathway do most of the work.
How I handle it in Anderson Mill
- Sell first to free up equity, with a possible short stay after closing negotiated with the buyer.
- Buy first to move once, with a bridge loan or line of credit your lender can price.
- A sale contingency, written well, when the market allows it.
- One plan for both homes. How I sell and how I help you buy.

Anderson Mill
What sell and buy at once looks like in Anderson Mill
One of Austin's oldest master-planned communities, between 183, 620 and Anderson Mill Road, with its own pools, parks and trails.
- The homes
- One of Austin's oldest master-planned communities, built mostly in the late 1970s and 1980s: about 3,500 homes straddling 78729 and 78750. Denser streets and more affordable prices than the hillside neighborhoods; the lower end of its range is comparable to Barrington Oaks.
- Schools people ask about
- Round Rock ISD. The side closer to 183 feeds Anderson Mill Elementary and the side closer to 620 feeds Purple Sage Elementary; all of it then feeds Grisham Middle School and Westwood High School. A separate neighborhood across 183 that also uses the Anderson Mill name feeds McNeil High School, so make sure a listing is in the Anderson Mill you mean.
- Getting around
- Bordered by 183, 620 and Anderson Mill Road.
- Nearby
- The Anderson Mill Limited District, the neighborhood's own taxing district, runs the Anderson Mill pool and the El Salido pool, tennis courts, parks and trails.
- The trade-off
- The only one of the Northwest Austin neighborhoods here with its own dedicated pools, parks and trails; the others rely on private clubs or City of Austin facilities. Older homes and no preserve backdrop.
