Are homes getting bigger in Jarrell? The median living area for closed sales reached 1,658 square feet in September 2026, an increase of 6.6% from the prior month and 7.7% higher than the same time last year. This trend is based on 57 closed transactions where the average home size has shifted upward over the trailing twelve months.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between home age, price, and square footage to identify this shift in buyer preferences. The data shows a clear move toward larger floor plans compared to the median of 1,540 square feet recorded in September 2025. While the median sale price dipped slightly by 3.8% year-over-year to $255,000, the physical footprint of homes sold has expanded significantly.
This growth in size contrasts with a slight decrease in price per square foot, which fell 9.4% compared to last September. The market is currently favoring larger living areas, with the median home now offering roughly 103 more square feet than it did a year ago. This pattern suggests buyers are prioritizing space over price reductions in the current Jarrell market.
The trend holds across the broader dataset of 24 months of closed sales, indicating a sustained shift rather than a temporary fluctuation. As inventory levels adjust, the demand for larger homes appears to be a defining characteristic of the September 2026 market activity.
