What does a shrinking median square footage mean for Burnet County buyers? In September 2026, the typical home sold was 1,763 square feet, down from 1,960 square feet in August and 2,000 square feet in September 2025. This represents a 10.1% decrease month-over-month and an 11.8% drop compared to the same time last year across 61 closed sales. ALEX Intelligence analyzed rolling trends in living area, beds, and baths to identify this shift toward smaller floor plans. The data shows that while median prices dipped to $319,000, the physical size of homes closing is contracting significantly. This trend suggests a market pivot where buyers may be prioritizing affordability or lower maintenance over larger square footage. The reduction in home size coincides with a 39.1% increase in days on market compared to August and a 93.5% increase compared to last year. As inventory sits longer, sellers of larger homes may face more pressure to adjust expectations. The median price per square foot rose to $202, indicating that the smaller homes sold at a higher rate per unit of space than in previous months. This shift highlights how market conditions can alter the physical profile of available inventory. Buyers looking for value might find more options in the 1,500 to 1,800 square foot range, while those seeking larger estates may encounter fewer recent sales to benchmark against. The data reflects a clear move toward compact living spaces in Burnet County during this period. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
