Gillespie County vs. Neighbors: Price and Speed Gap

Gillespie County median home prices sit at $560,000 across 43 closed sales in the rolling six months ending August 2026. This figure is higher than the regional median of $409,000 derived from 2,854 closed sales in the same period. The price per square foot also runs significantly higher at $277 compared to the regional average of $204. Despite the premium pricing, market velocity in Gillespie County lags behind the broader region. Homes here spent a median of 60 days on market, which is longer than the regional median of 45 days. This slower pace coincides with a lower list-to-sale ratio of 94.1%, compared to 94.8% for the region, indicating that buyers in this specific county have slightly more leverage to negotiate below original asking prices. The data reflects a distinct market dynamic where higher valuations do not translate to faster turnover. While the regional market shows a balanced activity with 2,854 sales, Gillespie County's smaller volume of 43 transactions suggests a niche demand that sustains higher price points but requires more time to close deals. This divergence highlights how local inventory and buyer preferences can create unique conditions even within a shared metropolitan area. ALEX Intelligence compared these metrics against peer pages to isolate the specific performance characteristics of Gillespie County relative to its neighbors. The analysis confirms that while prices remain elevated, the speed of transactions remains the primary differentiator for this market segment. Want these numbers for your street?
