Hilltop Villas at The Hollows • Jonestown, TX 78645
Listing Presentation prepared exclusively for Mahsa & Nima
Daniel Foreman | Jacquelyn Foreman Foreman Property Group | eXp Realty Luxury | May 2026
A Note to Mahsa & Nima
The Hollows is one of the most compelling resort lifestyle communities on Lake Travis — and this unit is one of the rare few in the building where short-term rentals are explicitly permitted. That distinction is not a footnote. It is the story we lead with to every buyer in this market.
The conversation we are having today is about moving you out of this investment efficiently, honestly, and with a strategy that reflects the real 2026 market — not the peak you purchased into. This presentation is built to do exactly that.

What Makes #202 Stand Apart
STR Explicitly Permitted
Short-term rentals are explicitly allowed in this building — a rare designation that unlocks Airbnb/VRBO cash flow from day one. This is the single most powerful differentiator in this market.
Hill Country & Lake Views
Panoramic Hill Country and Lake Travis views from the open balcony — the defining daily experience of this property and a primary driver of STR demand.
World-Class Resort Amenities
Private Beach Club, infinity pools, marina with boat slips, Hilltop Smokehouse, 10+ miles of trails, fitness center, restaurant, bar, tennis courts — all included in the HOA.
1-Car Attached Garage
Private attached garage plus additional parking — an uncommon feature in the condo segment that STR guests and owner-occupants alike value highly.
Updated Interior Finishes
Granite counters, recessed lighting, tile throughout, updated appliances, and an open-to-family-room galley kitchen — move-in ready and photography-ready.
The STR Income Opportunity
Lake Travis Is a Top-Performing STR Market
Units in resort communities with pool and marina access, Hill Country views, and proximity to Austin regularly command premium nightly rates year-round.
For a 3-bed/2-bath condo in a gated resort community with lake views and explicit STR permissions, typical gross revenue benchmarks are:
$3K–5K+
Gross/Month
Estimated monthly STR revenue depending on season and occupancy rate
$36K–60K+
Annual Gross
Annualized STR income potential at this price point and amenity tier
These are market-range benchmarks, not guarantees. Actual income depends on management, pricing strategy, and seasonality. Buyers will want to model their own projections — your Airbnb/VRBO payout history is a powerful data point here.
The Hollows Community
The Hollows is a 1,400+ acre gated masterplan on Lake Travis — one of the most amenity-rich resort communities in Central Texas. The HOA at $673/month is not just maintenance — it is the lifestyle infrastructure that commands STR premium pricing and drives buyer demand.
1,400+
Acres — Gated
Hill Country preserve with resort infrastructure throughout
10+
Miles of Trails
Paved hiking, biking, and golf cart trails throughout the community

Private Beach Club
Exclusive lakefront access with infinity pools, heated spas, and waterfall features
Closed Comparable Sales
The Hollows condo market | Most recent transactions tell the story
The April 2026 Hilltop Villas comp — the identical complex — closed at $420,530. That is the most powerful data point in this presentation. Buyers will see it. Priced at $369,900, our subject is $50,630 below the most recent comparable sale in the same building.
Active Competition
Closed comps inform — actives govern entry pricing
At $369,900, our subject sits below the median of view-comparable actives, above only inferior-condition or no-lake-view units — and below every 3/2 with a comparable Hill Country + Lake view.
The STR designation and genuine lake view push the home up the value curve. The strategy prices below closed comps to generate first-week buyer urgency.
STR Permitted — Rare Premium ↑
Explicit short-term rental allowance in the building is uncommon. STR investors immediately model cash flow — a $369,900 entry point makes the numbers work.
Lake & Hill Country Views ↑
Panoramic views from the balcony — the defining STR demand driver and lifestyle differentiator in this market.
County Assessed at $467,919 ↑
Buyers will see this number before they walk in. At $369,900, they perceive $98,000+ in built-in value — a powerful psychological anchor.
Net position: $369,900 is below every meaningful comp while the STR story justifies a clear premium over the non-permitted, inferior-condition units below it.
Our Pricing Rule
In today's Lake Travis and Austin condo market, sellable listings share two traits:
01 — Top-25% on Presentation
Photography, STR income documentation, staging, and digital marketing must place this unit in the top quartile of visual quality for its price band. Investors decide on the scroll — often before they've called their agent.
02 — Bottom-25% on Pricing
Measured against active inventory, not closed comps. Closed comps tell you where the market was. Active inventory tells you where buyers are deciding right now — and where STR investors are modeling entry cost today.
To be the unit a serious STR investor or lifestyle buyer schedules first, you need to land in the bottom quartile of active pricing in this micro-market — with the presentation and income story to back it up.
An Honest Conversation on Price
Mahsa & Nima, you purchased in July 2021 at $377,000 — near the peak of a market that has since reset. The recommended entry price of $369,900 is slightly below your purchase price before accounting for closing costs, and we want to address that directly.
Here is the full picture:
The 2021 purchase was made at the height of post-pandemic price expansion. That market no longer exists.
Four-plus years of STR income have partially offset the gap — cash flow generated during your ownership has real economic value.
The county assessed value is $467,919 — buyers will see this and recognize they are entering well below assessed value, which strengthens perceived upside.
Chasing 2021 pricing in 2026 leads to extended days-on-market, price reductions, and ultimately a worse net outcome.
The path to the best net proceeds is not a higher list price. It is sharp entry pricing, exceptional presentation, and the STR story told clearly — so buyers compete rather than negotiate.
Recommended List Price Strategy
Three defensible scenarios — our recommendation in bold
1
★ Recommended: $369,900
Below every view-comparable active except inferior units — creates urgency and broad buyer pool
$9,400 below the bottom end of the closed comp range ($379K–$420K) — a clear "priced to move" signal
9.5% below the most recent same-complex comp ($420,530) — buyers see value before they've walked in
Invites STR investors who can immediately model cash flow at this entry point
County assessed at $467,919 — buyers perceive $98K in built-in value at ask
Highest probability of contract inside 30 days
2
Alternate (Aspirational): $384,900 – $389,900
At or just above the low end of the closed comp range — tests upside
Positions at the lower closed comp band; expect 45–60 days and a reduction window
Risk: sits above several active competitors in a buyer-researched market
3
Alternate (Aggressive): $359,900
Clearly below all view-comparable actives — designed for multiple-offer week one
Use only if timeline pressure is acute or a faster close is required
Likely to generate competing interest from STR investors immediately
Pre-List Presentation Plan
To earn the top-quartile presentation we are pricing into
01
Professional Photography & Drone
Interior stills, drone aerials capturing the Hill Country and lake views, and a balcony hero shot. The view is the lead visual in every channel.
02
STR Income Documentation Package
Compile Airbnb/VRBO payout history into a clean investor one-pager. This is the single most powerful sales tool for this property.
03
Light Staging Review

05
Pre-List Inspection (Recommended)
