Key takeaways
- Williamson County’s median sale price was $395,000 in September 2026, down 2.5%, with 765 homes sold (Unlock MLS).
- Most of Round Rock is in Williamson County, but the city and Round Rock ISD also appear on Travis County’s tax-rate table.
- Texas school districts must give a $140,000 homestead exemption, which lowers the tax bill you prorate at closing (Texas Comptroller).
- Beycome lists on Unlock MLS from $99, with $0 due to Beycome at closing; Beycome Title’s Texas settlement fee is $299 per side.
Selling by owner in Round Rock looks different in 2026 than it did a few years ago. Buyers have more homes to pick from, and they negotiate. That’s not a reason to avoid selling on your own. It’s a reason to price carefully, show the home well and know the Texas forms. Here’s how.
How do you sell your house without an agent in Round Rock?
Six steps cover most Round Rock sales without a listing agent. They’re Texas forms, so the order is the same in Georgetown or Pflugerville.
- Price it from sales in your subdivision over the last 90 days. Williamson County had 5.0 months of inventory in September 2026 (Unlock MLS), so buyers have choices.
- Fill out the TREC Seller’s Disclosure Notice, plus the lead paint form if the home was built before 1978.
- List on Unlock MLS through a flat fee broker, so buyer’s agents and the major home search sites see it.
- Book showings through ShowingTime and ask for a preapproval letter before private tours.
- Negotiate on the TREC One to Four Family contract: price, option fee, option days and closing date.
- Open title at a Texas title company, which holds the earnest money and closes the sale.
What does it cost? On the $395,900 typical home, a Beycome listing is $99, with $0 due to Beycome at closing. Title insurance follows state-set rates, and the Texas Constitution bars a transfer tax. Ready? Put your Round Rock home on Unlock MLS and keep the sale in your hands.
How should you price a Round Rock home in a softer market?
Start with what sold, not what’s listed. Zillow’s typical Round Rock value fell 5.1% over the year to $395,900. Nearby Georgetown was $419,700 and Pflugerville $363,200. Across the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos area, the median sale price was $421,000 in September 2026, per Unlock MLS.
| Williamson County, September 2026 | Figure | Change from a year earlier |
|---|---|---|
| Homes sold | 765 | −12.1% |
| Median sale price | $395,000 | −2.5% |
| New listings | 1,078 | +7.7% |
| Active listings | 4,249 | −2.8% |
| Months of inventory | 5.0 | −0.1 months |
| Average close-to-list price | 93.0% | Up from 91.9% |
Five months of inventory gives buyers time. A 93.0% close-to-list ratio means the average home sold about 7% under its asking price. Some of that is price cuts on homes that started too high.
What we’d do: pull sales from your subdivision in the last 90 days, adjust for size, updates and lot, and price at the number those sales support. A small step under a round number, say $389,000 instead of $400,000, can put you in more buyers’ searches. Our comparative market analysis tool and a check to find out how much your home is worth give you a starting range.
What a listing fee would be
On $395,900, a 2.5% listing fee would be $9,898. That’s an example only. Commissions are not set by law or NAR rules and are fully negotiable. You choose whether to offer any compensation to a buyer’s agent, and how much. Since August 17, 2024, such offers can’t be shown on the MLS.
Is your Round Rock home in Williamson or Travis County?
Most of Round Rock sits in Williamson County. A small part reaches into Travis County, which is why the City of Round Rock and Round Rock ISD both show up on Travis County’s tax-rate table. Your county decides which appraisal district values your home, which tax office bills it and where the deed is recorded.
Check your last tax statement. In Williamson County, the Williamson Central Appraisal District (WCAD) sets values and takes homestead filings and protests online. The county tax office posts each year’s rates by city, school district and special district. If you’re in a MUD or other special district, that rate is part of your bill too.
Why it matters for a sale: Texas property taxes are paid in arrears, due by January 31 of the next year. At closing, the title company prorates this year’s taxes through the closing date and credits the buyer your share. The TREC contract spells this out in paragraph 13. Your homestead exemptions count. Texas requires school districts to give a $140,000 homestead exemption, and other local units may add up to 20%.

Making the listing work in a buyer’s market
- Fix what an inspector will flag first, like roof, HVAC and plumbing items.

- Use bright, wide photos; in NAR’s 2025 survey, 83% of online buyers rated photos very useful.
- Answer showing requests fast, including evenings and weekends.
What paperwork does a Round Rock seller need?
Texas has standard forms from TREC, and title companies in Williamson and Travis counties use them every day.
- Seller’s Disclosure Notice (TREC 55-1). Required for most single-family resales under Property Code §5.008. Give it by the contract’s effective date, or the buyer may end the deal within 7 days of getting it.
- Lead-based paint disclosure for homes built before 1978.
- One to Four Family Residential Contract (TREC 20-19), with any HOA, financing or other addenda.
- Your existing survey plus a T-47 affidavit, if the title company and lender accept it.
- HOA resale documents, if you’re in an association.
- Your mortgage payoff details and photo ID for closing.
The TREC contract also gives the buyer an option period: for an option fee, they can end the contract for any reason within the days you agree to. Shorter option periods are a fair thing to negotiate. For the statewide view, see our guide to selling a Texas home without a realtor, or the Dallas by-owner guide for a North Texas comparison.
Closing
A title company closes most Round Rock sales. Texas sets title insurance rates, so the premium is the same everywhere; who pays it is negotiable. Beycome Title charges a $299 settlement fee per side in Texas. It also closes in Florida ($99 prepaid), and in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
How much help do you want selling in Round Rock?
Do you need a realtor? No, it isn’t required; it’s your choice. A full-service agent takes pricing, marketing, showings and negotiation off your plate for a fee you agree on.
