Are buyers in Caldwell County looking for more space? The data suggests a clear shift toward larger homes. In September 2026, the median living area across 32 closed sales reached 1,833 square feet. This represents a 10% increase compared to August and a 6.3% rise from the same month last year. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the size trends of these transactions to identify this pattern. The average home sold in September was significantly larger than the 1,667 square feet seen in August and the 1,725 square feet recorded in September 2025. This growth in square footage coincides with a slight dip in price per square foot, which fell 5.6% from the prior month to $151. While the median sale price rose 2.3% to $269,490, the increase in home size indicates that buyers are prioritizing space over compact living arrangements. The trend aligns with a broader regional shift where larger floor plans are gaining traction even as overall market activity fluctuates. This analysis is based on 32 closed sales in September 2026.
