Inventory is rising, days on market are climbing, and buyers are gaining leverage across Georgetown. Here's what it means if you own in Cimarron Hills.
Georgetown's Shifting Balance of Power
Q1 2026 is shaping up to be the most buyer-favorable quarter in Georgetown real estate since 2019. Inventory has risen approximately 18% year-over-year across all price segments. Days on market are up across the board. Sellers who entered the market in Q4 2025 expecting a quick, premium close are now repricing or sitting.
For buyers, this is a window. For sellers, this is a call to precision.
Cimarron Hills Within the Broader Market
Cimarron Hills occupies a structurally protected position within Georgetown's market. The community's combination of 24/7 guard-gated security, Jack Nicklaus Signature golf, and a mandatory social membership infrastructure creates demand that persists even when the broader market softens. The community has historically outperformed Georgetown's average appreciation rate over rolling 10-year periods.
That said, the community is not immune to macro conditions. With 21 active listings at a median of $1,165,000, buyers have meaningful selection and are taking their time. The 125-day average days on market reflects a market where preparation and pricing discipline matter more than ever.
Key Data Points Q1 2026
Williamson County's property tax rate of 1.7018% remains competitive against Travis County, continuing to draw Austin-area relocators north. New corporate announcements in the Georgetown and Round Rock corridors, including ongoing expansion from existing major employers, continue to underpin the long-term demand thesis. Population growth projections for Williamson County remain among the strongest in Texas through 2030.
What This Means If You Own in Cimarron Hills
If you're a long-term holder with no near-term liquidity need, Q1 2026 is not a concern. It's context. The community's fundamentals are intact and its scarcity value is permanent. If you're considering selling in 2026, the earlier you move in the year the better. Q1 and Q2 historically outperform Q3 and Q4 in this community, and the current inventory buildup will create downward pricing pressure if it persists into summer. Move with intention, price correctly at launch, and execute with a marketing plan that reaches the full buyer universe.
