What determines home value in 78731?

78731 straddles the AISD/Eanes ISD boundary. Homes zoned to Eanes schools trade at a 10-15% premium over AISD-zoned comparables at the same condition level.

  • Properties on the western edge of 78731 (near 360/Capital of Texas Highway) benefit from Hill Country proximity and shorter commutes to Westlake employers.
  • Lot sizes range from 0.15 acres in Far West condos to 1+ acres on Mesa Drive. Price per square foot varies 40-60% across the ZIP based on lot alone.
  • The Domain, Apple campus, and tech corridor accessibility make eastern 78731 competitive for relocation buyers who want good schools without Westlake prices.

Comparable Sale Constraints

Why generic online estimates miss the mark here.

78731 contains multiple micro-markets: Far West condos ($300K-$500K), Northwest Hills ranches ($700K-$1.5M), and premium estates ($1.5M-$2.5M). ZIP-wide averages are misleading.

Condo and townhome sales dilute single-family metrics. Filter by property type before comparing.

The AISD/Eanes boundary creates two distinct price tiers within the same ZIP code.

TCAD Assessment Context

TCAD values in 78731 show the widest dispersion of any luxury-adjacent ZIP: long-held homestead-capped properties are assessed 20-30% below market, while recent purchases are assessed near sale price. This makes ZIP-level TCAD averages unreliable for individual pricing.
