What clients say
“I am so grateful that my family and I found Johnny! Johnny is incredibly hardworking, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented, and he TRULY cares about his clients. He worked nonstop to help us find our perfect home and we couldn’t be happier with the results of his hustle and care.”
Julie H. · Austin buyer
“He sent us tailored options that considered all of our must-haves and was patient with us being super picky too. Once we found The One he went above and beyond to get our offer accepted within our budget — on a Saturday afternoon too! It was a really tight timeline before the holidays and before baby was born, and there’s no way we could have done it without Johnny!”
Margeaux O. · Austin buyer
“I am very happy with the service provided by Johnny Ronca and his team. This house purchase was a very large transaction for me, and Johnny made it happen very smoothly and in a timely fashion. I will recommend Johnny to my friends in the future.”

The 15-second answer
Avana (Avaña) is the southernmost section of Circle C Ranch, in ZIP 78739, and the newest part of the Circle C market. In 2026 through September 25, 20 homes in its 78739 portion closed at a median of $932,500 and $326.94 per square foot, the highest price per foot of any Circle C-area neighborhood I track, with a median of 10 days on market. Much of Avana is in Hays County, yet all 20 of those sales were zoned to Austin ISD: Bear Creek Elementary (10/10), Gorzycki (9/10) and Bowie (9/10).
Key Takeaways
Avana has been fast in both years. These figures cover only the 78739 portion of Avana:
| Avana (78739) | 2025 (full year) | 2026 (Jan 1 to Sept 25) |
|---|---|---|
| Closed sales | 12 | 20 |
| Median close price | $1,032,500 | $932,500 |
| Median price per sq ft | $328.82 | $326.94 |
| Median days on market | 8 | 10 |
| Median close to original list | 98.1% | 96.5% |
| Median home size | 2,955 sq ft | 2,990 sq ft |
| Median year built | 2015 | 2018 |
| Price range | $615,000 to $1,490,000 | $662,000 to $1,550,000 |
Source: Unlock MLS (ACTRIS) via Matrix. Closed single-family sales, 3+ bedrooms and 2+ baths, subdivision Avana, ZIP 78739. 2025 = January 1 to December 31, 2025. 2026 = January 1 to September 25, 2026. Pulled September 2026. Medians, not averages.
How to read the price drop. The median fell from $1,032,500 to $932,500, but price per square foot barely moved and the median home size is the same. With 12 and 20 sales, the median is pulled around by which specific homes happened to close. Price per foot is the steadier number, and it says Avana held its value.
What did change: buyers got a little more room. Close-to-original-list slipped from 98.1% to 96.5%, and days on market moved from 8 to 10. That is still fast, but a well-prepared buyer can negotiate a bit more here than a year ago.
On the counts: 2025 is twelve months and 2026 is about nine. Compare medians, per-foot prices and days on market, not raw counts.
| 2026 YTD | Avana (78739) | Greyrock Ridge (78739) | Circle C area, 2,300 to 3,500 sq ft (78739) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed sales | 20 | 13 | 127 |
| Median close price | $932,500 | $685,000 | $820,000 |
| Median price per sq ft | $326.94 | $312.01 | $291.68 |
| Median days on market | 10 | 16 | 15.5 |
| Median home size | 2,990 sq ft | 2,522 sq ft | 2,910 sq ft |
| Median year built | 2018 | 2017 | 2003 |
| Close to original list | 96.5% | 98.1% | 98.5% |
The Circle C columns are ZIP 78739 closed single-family homes, 3+ bed / 2+ bath, in the stated size band, January 1 to September 25, 2026. They are size-matched ZIP cohorts, not a single subdivision.
What this tells you: an Avana home and a typical mid-size Circle C home are about the same size, but Avana's are roughly 15 years newer, and buyers pay about 12% more per square foot for that. Against its closest neighbor, Greyrock Ridge, Avana runs about $15 more per foot for a larger, slightly newer home.
If you want newer construction and the Bear Creek to Bowie path without building, Avana is where Circle C offers it.
Avana is at the southern end of Circle C Ranch in ZIP 78739, near SH-45 and the Travis-Hays county line. The county line runs through the neighborhood: of Avana's 20 closings in 78739 this year, 13 were in Hays County and 7 in Travis County. The appraisal district and tax rate follow the county, so check the address with the right one.
It was developed from about 2011 onward, largely by Standard Pacific, which is why it is the newest housing stock in the Circle C market.
The median home that sold in 2026 was about 2,990 square feet and built in 2018. Prices ran from $662,000 to $1,550,000. Expect newer builder finishes, open plans and energy-code construction; condition is rarely the issue here, but lot position, layout and upgrades move price.
Yes. The association of record is The Avana Estates at Circle C Ranch Community Association, Inc. Ask for the resale certificate to confirm the current assessment, which amenities the address can use, and whether any master Circle C association dues also apply.
I checked the school fields on all 20 homes that closed in Avana (78739) in 2026. All 20 were assigned to Austin ISD, including the 13 in Hays County:
| Campus | Level | GreatSchools | 2026 listings sampled |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bear Creek Elementary | PK, K to 5 | 10/10 | 20 of 20 |
| Gorzycki Middle | 6 to 8 | 9/10 | 20 of 20 |
| Bowie High | 9 to 12 | 9/10 | 20 of 20 |
Assignments from MLS listing records for 2026 closed sales. GreatSchools ratings read from each campus page in September 2026.
Some homes along Circle C's Hays County edge are zoned to Hays CISD instead (Carpenter Hill Elementary 9/10, Dahlstrom Middle 8/10, Johnson High 6/10). None of this year's 78739 Avana sales were, but because a county line runs through the area, verify the address in the Austin ISD attendance-area tool or with Hays CISD before you rely on a campus.
(Confirm assigned campuses for any specific home.)
Avana is at the far south end of Circle C, so allow a few extra minutes to reach MoPac compared with the north sections. SH-45 is right there for I-35, Buda and the Dripping Springs side.
I've been selling Austin real estate for 20+ years. In Avana the questions that cost buyers money are county and district: two homes a block apart can have different appraisal districts and tax rates. I confirm the county, the school assignment and the builder history for every home before we write an offer.

“Johnny did an incredible job helping me to negotiate the price down on this house. We got tens of thousands of dollars in discounts that I would not have had without his support. He remained available to me through several months of escrow while the house was being fixed up and was incredibly helpful in identifying new contractors.”

Off-market access
Ask me what is quietly for sale in Avana
Not every home here reaches Zillow or the public MLS. Some sellers will trade privately but will not sign a listing agreement, and those homes only surface through relationships. Mine run 20 years deep — a cross-brokerage network, Austin Luxury Network access, and Johnny’s Off Market Private Luxury Listings. Some of the coolest and most coveted luxury properties in Austin only ever sell as pocket listings.
Tell me your price range and must-haves and I’ll send you what matches — today, not when it hits the market. Contact me to see which gems match your specific needs, and what I expect to come up in Avana in the next 90 days.
More from clients
“We were so fortunate to have found Johnny Ronca 7 years ago when we bought our first home in Austin. He helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood, for the right price. He was so great we came back for his expertise when it was time to sell that first home and to help us with the purchase of our next home. Our family has definitely found our lifetime realtor.”
India G. · Repeat client, buyer & seller
“Johnny Ronca has been an invaluable asset throughout the sale of our old home and the purchase of our dream home. During the sale, Johnny facilitated a bidding war and got an all-cash offer significantly over our asking price. He helped us find and strategize our way into our new dream home and negotiated a way for us to move in prior to closing.”
