Buda's housing market showed mixed signals in September as activity accelerated while prices softened. A total of 101 homes closed across the city, representing an 11.0% increase from August and a 1.0% rise compared to September 2025. Despite the higher volume, the median sale price settled at $335,000, which is 9.7% lower than the previous month and 1.5% below the same period last year.
The pace of sales also improved significantly. The median days on market dropped to 44 days, a 10.2% decrease from August and a 21.4% improvement over September 2025. This faster turnover coincided with a slight tightening in negotiation leverage; the median close-to-original list ratio rose to 95.8%, just 0.1% higher than the prior month, though still slightly below the 95.9% recorded a year ago.
New construction remained a dominant force, accounting for 54 of the 101 closings (53%). The median living area for sold homes was 1,912 square feet, down 9.9% from August and 2.3% lower than last September. With 472 active listings on hand, the market held 5.09 months of inventory, indicating a balanced environment where buyers have choices but sellers still move properties relatively quickly.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed these trends to summarize the month's performance across all key metrics for Buda.
