What is the median home price in Burnet County right now? ALEX Intelligence analyzed 61 closed sales in September 2026 to find that the median close price was $319,000. This represents a 20.2% decrease compared to the same month last year when the median was $400,000.
The market is also seeing smaller homes selling for more per square foot. The median living area dropped to 1,763 square feet from 1,960 in August, a 10.1% decrease. Despite the lower price point, the median price per square foot rose 5.8% to $202 compared to the prior month.
How long are homes staying on the market? The median days on market increased significantly to 89 days, which is 39.1% longer than in August and 93.5% longer than September 2025. This suggests a slower pace of movement for sellers compared to previous periods.
ALEX Intelligence fit a pricing model to the local sales data to estimate value trends. While the median price fell, the share of homes selling below original list price decreased slightly to 85.2% from 95.2% in August. The current mortgage rate is 7.32% according to Freddie Mac data for the week of October 22, 2026.
These figures reflect a market adjusting to higher interest rates and changing buyer preferences toward smaller footprints at lower total price points.
