I’m Robbie English, broker at Uncommon Realty, and South Austin is one of the areas I work most. If you’re buying, selling, or investing here, I can help you make sense of a market that changes block by block.
South Austin isn’t one neighborhood, it’s several, and they don’t all behave the same way. Zip code 78704 covers South Lamar, Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights, and Zilker, all within walking distance of Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Park, the Barton Creek Greenbelt, and South Congress. That’s a market of older bungalows, infill builds, and condos, and it prices accordingly. Head south into 78745 and 78748, toward Manchaca and Onion Creek, and you get more space for the money, newer subdivisions, and a mix of Austin ISD and Del Valle ISD schools depending on the exact address. Knowing which zip and which school zone you’re actually buying into matters here more than most people realize going in.
What I Do for Buyers, Sellers, and Investors in South Austin
For buyers, that means knowing which South Austin streets are still walking distance to Barton Springs versus which ones only look that way on a map, and helping you weigh a fixer-upper near South Congress against new construction further out. For sellers, it means pricing and positioning your home for what’s actually happening in your specific pocket of South Austin right now, not a citywide average that doesn’t apply to your block. For investors, it means being straight with you about which properties will actually cash flow versus which ones just look good in a listing photo.
I’m also a national real estate speaker and instructor, which means I spend time teaching other agents around the country how to do this work well. That keeps me sharp on negotiation, contracts, and market strategy in ways that carry straight through to the clients I represent here in Austin.
Whether you’re looking at a South Austin townhome, a luxury condo, or a single-family home, I’ll walk you through it directly, not through a team member you’ve never met. If you want a second opinion on a South Austin property or want to talk through what your home could sell for in this market, reach out and let’s talk.
