Burnet County: New Listings Outpace Closings in September
By George Arnold Alexander III, MPA · Associate Broker · 2026-10-11
Burnet County saw a clear divergence between supply and demand in September as 99 new listings entered the market while only 60 homes closed. This shift signals a change toward greater inventory availability for buyers compared to the prior month when 89 new listings met 84 closings.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the flow of properties to highlight this supply dynamic. The ratio of new listings to closed sales rose from roughly 1.06 in August to 1.65 in September, indicating that sellers are bringing more homes to market faster than buyers are completing transactions. This trend contributes to the current months of inventory standing at 7.83, a figure calculated by dividing active listings by the trailing monthly closing rate.
While the number of new listings increased by 10 from August, closed sales dropped by 24. The median home size also shrank slightly, with living area dropping 7.6% compared to the prior month. These figures suggest that while buyer activity remains steady at 60 closings, seller participation is accelerating, potentially easing price pressure in the coming months as inventory accumulates.
The data reflects a market where supply is growing faster than demand absorption. With 543 active listings currently available and a monthly closing rate of 60, the balance continues to tilt toward buyers seeking more options. This pattern marks a distinct change from the tighter conditions seen earlier in the year when sales volumes were higher relative to new inventory.
