Is there a specific month in Burnet County where sellers consistently achieve higher prices? A seasonal decomposition of 24 months of closed sales data reveals distinct patterns that can guide listing timing.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed monthly trends from October 2024 through September 2026 to identify the most favorable periods for selling. The data shows a clear cycle where spring and early summer typically drive peak activity, while late autumn sees a contraction in both volume and price. In September 2026, the median closed price dropped to $319,000 across 61 sales, marking a 20.2% decrease compared to the same month last year when prices were $400,000. This follows a trend where October historically performs stronger; in October 2025, the median price reached $488,000 with 57 closed sales.
The seasonal pattern indicates that listing in late spring or early summer often yields higher median prices and greater sales volume. For instance, March 2026 saw a median price of $452,500 with 74 closings, while July 2026 recorded 84 sales at a median of $420,000. Conversely, the current September figures reflect a seasonal dip where prices soften and inventory remains high relative to demand.
Understanding this seasonality helps sellers time their entry into the market. While October offers a robust historical precedent for higher valuations, waiting until spring may align with the period of maximum buyer activity and price appreciation observed over the last two years. Buyers entering now may find more negotiating leverage during these lower-volume months.
