Ranch At Brushy Creek vs. Neighbors: Price and Speed Gap

Why does a home in Ranch At Brushy Creek command nearly double the price of a typical home in the broader region? The data from the last 12 months shows a median close price of $803,500 for 47 closed sales, compared to just $397,974 across the entire Unlock MLS region. This premium reflects the specific inventory and buyer demand within this Cedar Park community. ALEX Intelligence benchmarked these figures against regional and county data to highlight the gap. While the median price per square foot in Brushy Creek sits at $240.61, the regional average is $197.59. Homes here also sell faster on average, with a median of 20 days on market versus 66 days for the wider region. However, the speed has slowed slightly compared to the prior period, with days on market rising by 33.3%. The price-to-list ratio tells another part of the story. In Brushy Creek, homes closed at 96.6% of their original list price, which is higher than the regional average of 94%. This indicates that while buyers are negotiating, sellers in this specific community maintain stronger pricing power than the market as a whole. The median home size here is also larger at 3,277 square feet compared to the regional median of 2,072 square feet. Current mortgage rates stand at 7.18% according to Freddie Mac data from early November. At this rate and the current median price, a standard 3-2-1 buydown would cost approximately $29,736 in total fees to lower the initial interest rate. This financial tool is becoming increasingly relevant as buyers navigate higher borrowing costs while seeking homes that hold their value better than the broader market average. The data confirms that Ranch At Brushy Creek operates as a distinct tier within the local landscape, offering larger homes at a premium price point with faster turnover than the regional norm, despite recent softening in sale ratios compared to the prior period.
