What does it cost to buy an entry-level home in Burnet County today? The median price for the bottom quartile of sales reached $319,000 across 61 closed transactions in September. This figure represents the most affordable tier currently available in the market. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the payment impact using current financing costs. With a mortgage rate of 7.32% from the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week of October 22, 2026, a buyer purchasing at this median price with a loan amount of $255,200 faces a principal and interest payment of $1,753 per month. The data shows that homes in this entry-level segment are selling for an average of $202 per square foot. While the median price is lower than the previous month by 3.3%, it remains 20.2% below the same period last year. This shift indicates a significant change in affordability dynamics compared to the prior twelve months. Buyers should note that the market for these homes includes properties with a median living area of 1,763 square feet. The combination of lower prices and higher interest rates creates a specific affordability profile where monthly payments are driven more by financing costs than by the purchase price itself. This assessment is an ALEX Intelligence estimate based on current market data, not an appraisal. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
