Are buyers in Guadalupe County looking for more space? The data suggests a shift toward larger homes over the last six months. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 86 closed sales to track how home sizes are trending compared to the prior six-month period and the same window a year ago.
The median living area now stands at 1,901 square feet, an increase of 1% from the previous rolling six months where it was 1,882 square feet. This growth continues a longer-term trend; one year ago, the median size was 1,788 square feet, marking a 6.3% increase over the full year. While the number of closed sales has decreased to 86 from 90 in the prior period and 119 a year ago, the average footprint of the homes that did sell is expanding.
This shift in home size may reflect changing buyer preferences or inventory availability during this specific window. The median price per square foot also saw movement, rising 4.4% to $167 compared to the prior period, though it remains 5.6% lower than the same time last year when it was $177. These figures indicate that while homes are getting larger, the price per unit of space has softened relative to the previous year.
The analysis covers all residential sales in Guadalupe County where ABOR data is available. The trend highlights a move toward more spacious living arrangements, with the median home size growing steadily over the trailing 12 months despite fluctuations in total sales volume.
