Manor Home Sizes Trend Up in August

Are homes getting bigger in Manor? The median living area rose to 2,003 square feet across 47 closed sales in August, up 1.2% from the same month last year and 3.5% higher than July. This shift toward larger floor plans coincides with a drop in median price per square foot, which fell 9.0% compared to August 2025. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling trend of home sizes to identify this pattern. While the median sale price decreased 6.9% year-over-year to $323,460, the average size of homes closing has expanded. This suggests buyers are securing more space for their money as the market adjusts. The median days on market also dropped 20.0% from last year, indicating that these larger homes are moving efficiently despite lower price points. The data shows a clear divergence between price and size. As the median price per square foot fell to $161 from $177 a year ago, the total living area increased. This trend implies a shift in buyer preference or inventory mix toward more spacious properties. The market is currently balancing lower entry prices with larger square footage, offering value for those seeking space in the 2,000-square-foot range. This analysis relies on 47 closed transactions in August 2026, providing a robust view of current size trends within the city limits. Shopping in Manor?
