In September 2026, Bastrop saw 68 new listings enter the market while 50 homes closed sales, creating a net increase in available inventory. This supply gap means active listings grew by 18 properties during the month. The months of inventory metric currently stands at 5.47 based on 309 active listings and 339 closings over the trailing six months.
The median closing price for these 50 transactions was $382,500, a 0.6% decrease from August but up 10.7% compared to September 2025. Homes spent a median of 58 days on market, matching the prior month and improving significantly from the 69 days recorded last year. The ratio of final sale price to original list price averaged 0.941, indicating buyers negotiated an average discount of roughly 6% off asking prices.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the flow of supply and demand by comparing new listing volume against closed sales. When new listings exceed closings, inventory accumulates; when closings outpace new listings, inventory tightens. In Bastrop, the current pace suggests a gradual shift toward more balanced conditions as the 5.47 months of inventory moves closer to the six-month threshold often cited for a neutral market.
The median living area for sold homes was 1,955 square feet, down slightly from the prior month. With 68 new properties added against 50 sales, the local market absorbed roughly 74% of the incoming supply in September. This dynamic allows buyers more selection while sellers face increased competition to move their listings within the current 58-day median timeframe.
