Rough Hollow Home Sizes Are Shrinking Slightly in Fall

Is the average home in Rough Hollow getting smaller? The data suggests a slight shift toward more compact living spaces over the past six months. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 44 closed sales to track changes in home size trends for this community on Lake Travis. The median living area across these 44 transactions was 3,604 square feet. This represents a 4.9% increase compared to the prior six-month period, where the median was 3,436 square feet. However, when looking at the same window one year ago, the median size was 3,615 square feet. The current figure is essentially flat compared to last year, showing a -0.3% change in the rolling annual comparison. This stability in home size comes alongside a rise in median close prices, which reached $1,004,000, up 15.9% from the prior period. The market is seeing homes sell faster as well, with median days on market dropping to 46 days, a 50% improvement compared to the same time last year. While the average square footage has ticked up slightly from the previous half-year, the overall trend indicates that buyers in Rough Hollow are currently purchasing homes of similar size to those sold a year ago, with no significant move toward larger or smaller footprints. The data reflects a market where price per square foot has also risen to $303, suggesting that value is being driven by location and condition rather than just increased square footage. As inventory remains tight with 3.82 months of supply, the focus remains on efficient use of space within the community's established lot sizes. Want to see this home?
