Selling Your Home in Northwest Austin: what's different here
Selling in Northwest Austin means competing for the buyers who already want this part of Austin. Across Northwest Austin, buyers compare your home with the whole range of these neighborhoods, from a rebuilt Northwest Hills home to an original 1980s two-story in Anderson Mill, so positioning starts with which homes a buyer will weigh it against.
That's why I start with where your home stands against the others a buyer will see, not with a number pulled from a website.
Talk about Northwest Austin
Why Northwest Austin sellers 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 price a home in Northwest Austin, I'm weighing what buyers here actually pay for. Northwest Austin gives you real land and mature trees close in, with schools split between Round Rock ISD and Austin ISD depending on the street.

Northwest Austin
What selling your home looks like in Northwest Austin
The established hills west of MoPac and 183, from Northwest Hills up through Great Hills, Spicewood Estates, Jester and Anderson Mill.
- The homes
- Mostly 1960s through 1990s homes on larger, irregular lots under mature trees, with steady rebuilding in Northwest Hills. Hillside and view lots in Great Hills, Jester and parts of Northwest Hills; flatter streets in Oak Forest, Barrington Oaks and Anderson Mill.
- Schools people ask about
- Split between Round Rock ISD (Spicewood, Laurel Mountain, Caraway, Anderson Mill and Purple Sage elementaries into Canyon Vista or Grisham and Westwood) and Austin ISD (Doss, Hill or Davis into Murchison and Anderson). The line runs through neighborhoods, so check each address.
- Getting around
- 183, MoPac, Loop 360, 2222 and Spicewood Springs Road. The Arboretum and the Domain are close, and most trips never need I-35.
- Nearby
- Bull Creek, St. Edward's Park and Balcones Canyonlands Preserve land, Great Hills and Balcones country clubs (private), the Jester Club, Anderson Mill's own pools and parks, and City of Austin pools and parks.
- The trade-off
- Real land and established trees close in, in exchange for older homes that need their systems checked, and hills in many neighborhoods.
