Buda Home Sizes Are Growing in August
By George Arnold Alexander III, MPA · Associate Broker · 2026-10-03
The average home sold in Buda this month was larger than it has been in years. The median living area reached 2,103 square feet across 89 closed sales in August, representing a 7% increase compared to the same time last year when the median was 1,965 square feet. This shift toward bigger floor plans is also visible month-over-month, with sizes growing 3.6% from July's 2,029 square feet.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between home size and sales volume to track these trends. The data shows a clear movement in buyer preference or builder output toward larger residences. While the median price per square foot dipped 6.5% year-over-year to $172, the total square footage of homes closing has expanded significantly.
This growth in home size coincides with a 4.8% rise in median sale prices to $369,999. As buyers seek more space, the average new construction closed also remains robust at 44 units. The trend suggests that while price per unit of area may be softening slightly, the total value and size of homes entering Buda are trending upward.
The shift in home sizes reflects a changing market dynamic where larger floor plans are becoming the standard for closings in this city. With 89 sales recorded, the sample is large enough to confirm this pattern as a sustained trend rather than a temporary fluctuation.
