Buda: The Best Month to List in the Last Two Years
By George Arnold Alexander III, MPA · Associate Broker · 2026-10-04
Why does listing timing matter so much in Buda? A look at 24 months of data reveals distinct seasonal patterns that can significantly impact a seller's bottom line.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed monthly closed sales from September 2024 through August 2026 to identify the strongest periods for listing. The data shows a clear dip in activity during the winter months, with October 2025 seeing a 37.9% drop in sales compared to the previous year. However, the price trends tell a different story of opportunity.
November consistently emerges as a high-value month for sellers. In November 2025, median prices jumped 16.0% from the prior month and were up 6.4% compared to the same month in 2024. This contrasts sharply with January 2026, where median prices fell 9.4% and sales volume dropped 35.5%. While spring months like March and April show high sales volumes, they do not always match the price premiums seen in late autumn.
For sellers considering a move, the data suggests that patience can pay off. Listing in November may yield higher median prices despite lower overall transaction volume compared to the summer peak. Conversely, listing in January or October often coincides with lower prices and reduced buyer activity. Understanding these cycles helps align listing strategies with market realities rather than assumptions about spring selling seasons.
The analysis is based on 89 closed sales in August 2026 alone, but the seasonal decomposition relies on 24 months of historical data to establish reliable trends.
