Burnet Market Heat Score: What the Data Shows

How hot is the Burnet real estate market right now? ALEX Intelligence calculated a composite Market Heat Score for the city based on the rolling six-month period ending August 31, 2026. This score synthesizes four key indicators: median days on market, list-to-sale price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price reductions. The data reveals a distinct buyer advantage. Homes spent a median of 74 days on the market, which is slightly faster than the prior six-month period but unchanged from the same window last year. More critically, the months of inventory stands at 8.84, well above the six-month threshold typically required for a balanced market. This surplus gives buyers significant leverage in negotiations. Price dynamics reflect this supply glut. The median close-to-original list ratio was 0.913, meaning homes sold for roughly 91% of their asking price on average. Nearly 90% of closed sales went below the original list price, a trend that has held steady over the past year. While the median sale price rose 10.8% compared to the prior six months, the pace of appreciation is tempered by the high inventory count. The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score weights these factors equally to provide a single gauge of market temperature. In Burnet, this environment favors buyers who can take their time and negotiate effectively, while sellers may need to price competitively from the start to attract offers in a landscape with 171 active listings today.
