Llano County Market Pulse: Prices Surge in August

What drives a significant rise in median home prices in just one month? In Llano County, the answer lies in a surge of high-value transactions that lifted the market average compared to last year. The median closing price reached $822,000 for the 26 homes sold in August, up 34.2% from the same month last year and 43.0% higher than July. This represents a sharp increase in median price per square foot as well, which rose 12.9% to $359 compared to August 2025. Sales activity remained steady with 26 closed transactions, matching the volume from August 2025 exactly. However, homes are selling faster than a year ago, with the median days on market dropping to 70 days, a 27.1% improvement over the previous year. Buyers and sellers are negotiating closer to the original list price, with the median close-to-original list ratio at 91.6%. While 88.5% of homes sold below their original list price, this figure is down from 96.2% a year ago, indicating slightly stronger buyer leverage than last August but still a competitive environment where few sales exceed the asking price. The current inventory level stands at 306 active listings, which translates to roughly 12 months of supply based on the recent sales pace. This high inventory suggests a balanced to buyer-favorable market despite the rising prices driven by the specific mix of properties sold this month.
