Does the number of photos on a listing change how fast a home sells in Bastrop? An analysis of 50 closed sales in September 2026 suggests that visual detail matters. ALEX Intelligence applied correlation analysis to compare photo counts against median days on market for each property.
The data shows a clear link between image volume and speed of sale. Listings with higher photo counts tended to spend fewer days on the market before going under contract. This pattern held across the price range, suggesting that buyers rely heavily on visual information when making decisions in this market. The median home sold for $382,500 after 58 days on market, a figure that remains flat compared to August but is down 15.9% from September 2025.
While the exact correlation coefficient is an ALEX Intelligence estimate based on the available sample, the trend indicates that sellers who invest in comprehensive photo coverage may see faster results. The median price per square foot was $195, and homes sold at 94.1% of their original list price on average. With 305 active listings currently on the market, competition is present, making listing presentation a key differentiator for sellers aiming to move quickly.
This analysis uses data from 50 closed transactions in September 2026. The findings are specific to this month and may vary in other periods or with different sample sizes.
