Burnet: Is the Market Balanced or Leaning to Buyers?
By George Arnold Alexander III, MPA · Associate Broker · 2026-10-08
How many months of homes are available for sale in Burnet right now? The answer is 8.9 months, a figure calculated by dividing the 172 active listings on the market today by the average monthly sales pace derived from the 116 closed sales over the last six months.
In real estate analytics, this metric determines whether buyers or sellers hold the advantage. A market is generally considered balanced at a ratio between four and six months. Anything above six months typically indicates a buyer's market, where inventory exceeds demand and gives purchasers more negotiating power. Burnet currently sits well above that threshold at 8.9 months of inventory.
This supply surplus coincides with rising prices. The median sale price for homes in Burnet reached $360,500 over the trailing six-month period, an increase of 10.8% compared to the prior six months and a 5.9% gain from the same window last year. Despite this appreciation, the high inventory levels suggest that sellers may need to price competitively to move properties, as homes are taking an average of 74 days to sell.
ALEX Intelligence classifies this market condition based on the supply-to-demand ratio. With nearly nine months of stock available, the Burnet City market is currently favoring buyers, offering a wider selection and potentially more time for negotiations before closing.
