What clients say
“Johnny not only helped me buy a great home in Lakeway at a great price back in January of 2021 but he then helped me sell that same house for over $200K of what we purchased it for only 9 months later. Johnny helped us get an offer that was $50K over our asking price. We are extremely happy with Johnny as our "go-to" guy for anything related to real estate.”
Ryan B. · Lakeway buyer & seller
“Johnny guided us to our dream home. He understood exactly what we were looking for and he made the process flow smoothly and gracefully. I never imagined buying a house could feel so easeful! We are so grateful we had Johnny to show us just how smooth the process can be!”
Brandilyn B. · Lake Travis buyer
“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.”

Pocket Listings in Rosedale — Not on Zillow
I typically have pocket listings scattered across Rosedale and the surrounding Central Austin pockets that aren't on Zillow, Realtor.com, or the public MLS.
That includes original-condition bungalows held by longtime owners and quietly updated homes not yet photographed for a public listing. Recent range: roughly $700K–$1.4M. Call me before you search anywhere else — this market moves fast.
Short answer: Rosedale single-family homes closed at a median of $985,000 ($545.78 per square foot) across 14 MLS sales from January 1 to October 2, 2026, compared with $977,500 ($553.29 per square foot) across 20 sales in all of 2025. Median days on market went from 12 to 13.5, and sellers closed at 98.0% of original list price versus 95.5%. The median home that sold in 2026 was 8% larger (1,925 to 2,086 sq ft), so price per square foot is the fairer comparison than the headline median. Like for like, no size band had five or more comparable resales in both years, so the same-size table below shows counts rather than medians.
| Rosedale | Sales | Median close | Median $/sq ft | Median days on market | Close ÷ original list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All single-family · 2025 (full year) | 20 | $977,500 | $553.29 | 12 | 95.5% |
| All single-family · 2026 (Jan 1–Oct 2) | 14 | $985,000 | $545.78 | 13.5 | 98.0% |
| Same months of 2025 (Jan 1–Oct 2) | 17 | $1,050,000 | $559.62 | 14 | 94.9% |
Every row compares the same kind of home, year against year: single-family resales with 3+ bedrooms and 2+ full baths, built 1937–1967, with new construction left out. There is no garage requirement here, because most homes in this area were built without a two-car garage. Each size band runs 20% either side of 2,000, 3,000, 4,500 and 6,750 square feet, the way an appraiser brackets a subject home.
| Home size | 2025 sales | 2025 median close | 2025 $/sq ft | 2026 sales (Jan 1–Oct 2) | 2026 median close | 2026 $/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry · 1,600–2,400 sq ft | 7 | $870,000 | $511.76 | 4 | — | — |
| Mid · 2,400–3,600 sq ft | 4 | — | — | 3 | — | — |
A dash means fewer than five sales in that band that year, so no median is published. Also left out: 8 resales built outside 1937–1967 and 2 outside 1,600–8,100 sq ft.
Time on market is about the same: a median 13.5 days in 2026 against 12 in 2025. Sellers closed at 98.0% of original list price, which leaves buyers little room to negotiate on a well-priced home. MLS sales since January 2025 closed between $420,000 and $2 million.

Closed single-family sales in subdivisions whose recorded name begins with Rosedale, ZIPs 78756 and 78731 (other plats inside the neighborhood are not counted). 2025 = full year; 2026 = January 1 to October 2, 2026. Medians, not averages. Sales counts are not a trend on their own because 2026 is a partial year; compare against the same months of 2025. Private and off-market sales that never reached the MLS are not included. Like-for-like rows are the same sales limited to 3+ bedrooms and 2+ full baths, with no garage requirement; resales only, built 1937–1967 (the 30-year span that holds the most resales in this area); new construction reported separately.

I've been selling Austin luxury real estate for 20 years, and Rosedale is one of the neighborhoods I recommend most often to buyers who want central-Austin walkability and character without needing Tarrytown or Old West Austin money. It's unpretentious in the best way — no marketing gimmick, just genuinely good bones and genuinely good streets.
Built mostly from the 1930s through the 1960s, Rosedale sits between Central Austin and Allandale, its bungalows and ranch homes lining streets shaded by decades-old oaks. Ramsey Park anchors the neighborhood with a pool, tennis courts, and open green space that functions as Rosedale's unofficial town square.
The 43-day average time on market tells the real story here — this isn't a neighborhood where good houses linger. Buyers need to be ready to move when the right one comes up.
Rosedale is zoned to Austin ISD, but the specific elementary school depends on the exact address — homes north of 45th Street typically zone to Bryker Woods Elementary, while homes south of 45th typically zone to Highland Park Elementary, both feeding into Lamar Middle School and McCallum High School. (Confirm assigned campuses for any specific home.)
The Ramsey Park regular — Treats the park's pool and tennis courts as a daily part of life, not an occasional amenity.
The value-driven central buyer — Wants genuine central-Austin walkability without paying Tarrytown or Old West Austin prices.
The bungalow renovator — Sees the good bones in a 1940s original and wants the project as much as the finished home.
Very — Ramsey Park and the shops along Burnet Road and Airport Boulevard are within a 10-15 minute walk of most homes, and downtown is a 10-15 minute drive.
Weekend mornings mean Ramsey Park — swimming, tennis, or just walking the loop. Burnet Road's growing restaurant scene and Central Market are both a short drive, and the Triangle's shops and restaurants are minutes away for a bigger night out.
Honest verdict: all three sit in the same central corridor. Rosedale is the tightest-knit of the three, with Ramsey Park doing a lot of the work to make it feel like a real neighborhood rather than just a location.
"Johnny's knowledge of Central Austin was priceless in helping us find our slice of heaven. He even found exactly what we were looking for off-market before anyone else, and saved us real money on our offer. He's the go-to expert for this part of town — highly recommend."

Closing-Day Video Testimonial
“So we just closed on our very first house with Austin’s best real estate agent… I don’t know how people do this alone. If y’all are looking for a real estate agent, this is the only one. Look no further.”
Josh Trent · Host of the Wellness + Wisdom podcast · Austin homebuyer
Rosedale is a neighborhood that rewards buyers who move decisively — the good ones don't last, and I've watched well-priced homes here get multiple offers within days. Knowing which streets and which house styles hold value best is exactly the kind of local knowledge that makes the difference in a market this brisk.
“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 Rosedale
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.

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
“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
“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.”
