Sell in Austwell with 1% Full-Service Representation.
Austwell is a specialized Refugio County coastal market where bay proximity, fishing and recreation access, lot configuration, windstorm context and second-home appeal can matter as much as the house itself. Active listings include furnished coastal retreats, barndominiums and vacant land, so property type must lead the pricing strategy.
Representation when you want it; MLS-only when you do not.
1% Full Service includes a CMA, MLS management, showing coordination, offer negotiation and closing support. $499 FSBO Plus and $99 MLS Basic are seller-managed MLS alternatives when you want to control the transaction.

Austwell listings range from modest coastal homes and furnished retreats to vacant lots and specialty properties. Treating those as one market can produce a misleading asking price.
Austwell pricing starts with the property and the date of each comparable.
Redfin reports a median sale price of about $190,000 for Austwell for the three months ending July 2026. That is historical context, not an October price estimate; its other summary figures do not clearly identify the same reporting window. Compare verified closed sales and active competition by property type, condition, lot size and water access before setting an asking price.

Bay and recreation access
Current Austwell listings emphasize proximity to the bay, fishing, boat access and outdoor recreation. Sellers should document those features precisely rather than rely on generic “coastal” language.
Inland I wind context
TDI’s legacy county map lists Austwell in Inland I. Roof, windstorm certification and construction records can materially affect buyer due diligence.
Second-home presentation
Furnished or turnkey properties can attract a different buyer than a primary residence. Inventory lists, maintenance details and remote-buyer-ready photos can help.
Land and multi-lot property
Vacant lots and multi-lot offerings need parcel dimensions, utility facts, access and any known restrictions clearly organized.
Barndominium/specialty housing
Nontraditional construction should be compared with similar utility and finish quality, not forced into a conventional-house price-per-foot formula.
Insurance and flood questions
Coastal buyers commonly investigate wind and flood exposure early. Provide known documents and avoid making promises about future insurability or premiums.
- Confirm water/bay relationship
- Gather windstorm and roof records
- Collect flood/elevation documents if available
- Verify lot and utility details
- Create a furnishings list if turnkey
- Photograph outdoor and storage utility
TDI’s legacy county map lists Austwell in Refugio County’s Inland I zone. Property-specific requirements should be independently verified.
Current windstorm guidance: TDI identifies its county maps as legacy references. Its current building-code guidance determines wind-speed requirements by each structure’s location. A city’s Inland I/II label alone does not establish compliance or insurance eligibility. Gather available roof, permit and windstorm records, then confirm requirements with a qualified inspector and insurance agent. Use TDI’s certificate-search resources to find existing records.

Austwell and Tivoli form a distinct coastal/rural Refugio County submarket.
Water-oriented homes, land and recreational properties should not be priced like inland Refugio or Woodsboro without major adjustments.
Questions to resolve before marketing the property.
Why is Austwell different from inland Refugio County?
Buyer demand can be driven by bay proximity, fishing/recreation, second-home use and land. Wind/flood due diligence is also more prominent.
What wind zone is Austwell in?
TDI’s legacy county map lists Austwell in Inland I. Property-specific construction and insurance requirements should still be verified.
What does 1% Full Service include?
