Where the $3.5M-Plus Buyers Went in Austin: 40 Sales by Neighborhood

The $3.5M line marks the premium tier of the Summer 2026 issue, and 40 sales closed above it across Austin in the last 12 months, totaling $225.5M. Ten neighborhoods appear in the record, from Westlake and Tarrytown inside the loop to Wimberley and Dripping Springs in the Hill Country. The list below sorts those closings by where they happened, then by who sold them, so a reader can see both the geography and the agents behind the year.  The counts show two centers of gravity. Westlake, with 9 sales and $48.4M, is the volume leader, and Wimberley, with 4 sales and $33.7M, is the value leader thanks to the $19,500,000 ranch sale. Spanish Oaks contributed 3 sales for $15.2M, and Tarrytown, Seven Oaks, Dripping Springs and Barton Creek each closed 2. The single-sale neighborhoods, like San Marcos and Rough Hollow, show that premium buyers also scatter into quieter pockets when a specific property calls. ## Neighborhood by neighborhood 1. **Westlake** — 9 sales, $48.4M in all, top sale $8,995,000 at 1401 North Weston Lane.

Agents: [Holm Team](https://directory.luxuryhomesshowcase.com/listings/holm-team) (1). Twenty-three agents closed these 40 sales, but a few recur across the map. The Nicole Kessler Group appears in Westlake, Tarrytown and San Marcos; Casey Marquez shows up in Spanish Oaks, Dripping Springs and Rough Hollow; and Mike Mogavero and the Holm Team each have closings in two neighborhoods. For a seller at this price, that spread suggests these agents have a client base that moves between the city's west side and the Hill Country, rather than a single fixed patch. ## The biggest sales at $3.5M and up  Each agent named here has a directory page with listings, contact details and open houses, so a reader can go from a neighborhood's sales record to the specific agent who closed the top home there. The list is sorted by neighborhood, then by the highest sale in each, making it easy to find the agent behind a property like 1104 Marly Way at $8,950,000 or 19631 Ranch Road 12 at $19,500,000. *Source: Compass transaction histories of the agents in the Summer 2026 issue, as recorded on September 10, 2026; closed sales at $3.5M and up in the Austin area over the 12 months to September 2026. $3.5M is the issue's premium line.*
