Market snapshot
Recent sales activity shows a mix of properties closing between roughly $212,000 and $250,000 in early 2026, reflecting continued buyer interest at attainable price points. While values have edged down from a year ago, days on market suggest sellers are still finding buyers—just with more negotiation and patience than during peak years.
Zillow reported 35 active listings as of January 31, 2026, signaling a stable but not flooded resale pipeline. The current pace points to a more balanced market compared with the tight conditions of prior years.
What’s for sale
March has brought a mix of move-in-ready homes and buildable lots. A Driftwood Lane home updated in early March highlights turnkey options near Lake LBJ. For buyers looking to build, a pair of Fir Lane lots marketed in mid-March emphasize lake access through the city park, city water, and utilities at the street. These offerings underscore ongoing interest in smaller infill construction and custom builds.
Overall, Cottonwood Shores remains a value-oriented option in the Highland Lakes area, appealing to buyers seeking proximity to Marble Falls and Horseshoe Bay without those price tags.
