Retained local listing statuses
At the cutoff, the 53 retained local pages included 41 For sale, 2 Pending, 4 Seller-reported Sold, 6 Off Market. Sold is seller-reported; its price is the last recorded ask. Off Market is an unconfirmed outcome and may include withdrawals, relistings or an unreported sale. These snapshot counts are not complete October transaction totals.
Wider Austin-area context
The broader sample has 422 active public pages, 43 retained seller-reported Sold, 45 Off Market and 8 Pending. Its median active ask was $10,000 across mixed boats and personal watercraft. 60 active pages had a latest October cut, totaling $70,611 across those latest changes. This broader sample must not be labeled Lake Travis-only.
Methodology and reusable evidence
Public listing pages after existing source/hull deduplication; an advertisement may describe a multi-craft package. Reporting uses the source snapshot available October 30. The October 31 close and a comparable prior-month series are unavailable. Original advertisement dates and time to sale are not inferred. Registry records, private Google/account information and verified closing prices are outside these tables. No sell-through rate, time to sale or comparable month-over-month trend is calculated.
