Is the average home in Bastrop County getting larger? The data says yes. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, the median living area for closed sales reached 1,966 square feet across 705 transactions. This represents a 3.8% increase compared to the prior six-month period and a 4.7% rise from the same window last year. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling trend in home size to identify this shift in buyer preferences and builder output. The median living area has grown from 1,894 square feet in the previous six months and stood at 1,878 square feet a year ago. This steady expansion suggests that buyers are prioritizing more space per transaction, or that new construction is increasingly delivering larger floor plans. The trend holds even as prices fluctuate. While the median close price dipped slightly to $345,000 from $340,490 in the prior period, the physical footprint of homes continues to expand. This increase in square footage coincides with a 2.2% rise in median price per square foot, indicating that buyers are paying for both size and value density. For sellers, this data suggests that larger homes may remain competitive. For buyers, it highlights a market where the standard home is growing. The shift from under 1,900 square feet to nearly 2,000 square feet marks a distinct change in the typical Bastrop County property over the last year. Want a closer look?
