Comal County: How List Prices Compare to Sells in September

What does it mean when homes sell for less than their original asking price? In Comal County, the median list-to-sale price ratio stood at 88.9% in September 2026, down from 93.4% in August and 94.4% a year ago. This metric compares the final closing price to the original list price before any reductions, revealing how much negotiation power buyers held during this period. Across 23 closed sales, the median home sold for $489,000, a 20.1% increase from August and an 11.1% rise compared to September 2025. Despite higher prices, fewer homes are meeting their initial list price. The share of properties selling below their original list rose to 73.9%, up from 84.2% the prior month but down from 93.3% a year ago. This indicates that while buyers still negotiate, the gap between asking and selling prices has narrowed slightly compared to last year. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing trends across these sales to determine how list prices align with final outcomes. The median price per square foot reached $236, reflecting a 14.6% jump from August, though it remains 0.4% lower than the same time last year.
