Burnet County: How List Prices Compare to Final Sells in September
By George Arnold Alexander III, MPA · Associate Broker · 2026-10-09
In Burnet County, homes sold for an average of 92.2% of their original asking price last month. This figure represents the median close-to-original list ratio across 58 closed sales in September 2026. The metric compares the final sale price to the initial listing price to show how much negotiation occurred before a deal closed.
The data shows that 86.2% of these properties sold below their original list price, up from 95.2% in the prior period but down from 94.3% a year ago. While the median price remained stable at $330,000 compared to August, the ratio dipped slightly by 0.5% month-over-month and is 1.5% lower than the same time last year. This suggests that while prices have not dropped significantly in dollar terms, buyers are securing more concessions relative to the initial ask.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics across these transactions to determine the average gap between asking and selling. The median price per square foot rose 6.8% from the prior month to $205, reflecting a shift toward smaller homes with an average living area of 1,811 square feet. As inventory levels adjust, this ratio serves as a key indicator for sellers setting realistic expectations and buyers understanding current negotiation leverage in the Burnet County market.
