How many homes are for sale in Bee Cave right now?

Beyond active listings, the market currently shows:

Are homes in Bee Cave selling for asking price?

Yes, generally close. The median close-price-to-list-price ratio (CP/LP) for recently closed homes in 78738 is 97%, meaning buyers are typically negotiating only a small discount off the final list price — not the original list price, which reflects an even tighter margin once price adjustments are factored in (median CP/OLP is 96%).

This tells buyers two things:

1. Well-priced homes in Bee Cave aren't sitting around waiting for major price cuts.
2. Competitive offers close to asking price are usually what it takes to win a desirable home.

How long do homes stay on the market in Bee Cave?

• Median Days on Market (current listing period): 32 days
• Median Cumulative Days on Market (including relisting): 35 days

Compared to slower-moving luxury markets, this is a relatively brisk pace — homes that are priced accurately for their neighborhood and condition are going under contract within about a month.

What's the price range in Bee Cave?

Bee Cave spans a wide spectrum, from move-up family homes to ultra-luxury Hill Country estates:

• Lowest closed sale: $233,000
• Highest active list price: $13,000,000
• Average closed sale price: $1,193,221

This range reflects Bee Cave's mix of established neighborhoods, newer luxury developments, and lakeside estate properties near Lake Travis.

What do these numbers mean if you're buying in Bee Cave?

• More inventory (62 new listings this month) means more choices and slightly more negotiating room than in a tightly constrained market.
• A 97% close-to-list ratio means lowball offers are unlikely to succeed on well-priced homes — come in prepared with a competitive, well-researched offer.
• A 32-day median time to contract means desirable homes move relatively quickly; buyers who wait too long on a decision risk losing out.
• A wide price range means Bee Cave can work for a range of budgets — but comps need to be pulled at the neighborhood level, not just the zip-code level, to price accurately.
