Median home prices in Dripping Springs dropped 9.5% compared to August, settling at $570,000 across 47 closed sales. This marks a 5.0% decline from the same month last year when the median was $600,000. While the number of homes sold remained relatively stable with a 4.4% increase over August's 45 closings, the price per square foot also fell 4.1% to $232. The time it took to sell a home remained unchanged at a median of 59 days compared to the prior month, though this is 20.4% longer than the 49 days seen in September 2025. Sellers are accepting slightly less of their original asking price, with the close-to-original list ratio dipping 0.6% to 93.8%. Currently, 83% of closed homes sold below their original list price, a figure that is 10.4% lower than last year. Inventory levels stand at 254 active listings, creating 4.4 months of supply based on the trailing monthly pace. This suggests a market where buyers have more options than in previous months. The ALEX Intelligence estimate for the median living area sold in September was 2,589 square feet, down 6.6% from August. Current mortgage rates are 7.4% according to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week of October 8, 2026. At this rate and a loan amount of $456,000 on a median-priced home, the principal and interest payment would be $3,157 per month. A 3-2-1 buydown would cost approximately $21,300 to reduce the initial rate to 4.4%, while a 2-1 buydown would cost about $10,800. Want to see this home?
