Milam County saw a shift in market dynamics over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, with median home prices settling at $245,000 across 83 closed sales. This figure represents a 1.5% decrease from the prior six-month period and is 4.3% lower than the same window last year. Despite the price adjustment, market activity remained robust, with 83 homes closing compared to 69 in the previous six months.
The speed of transactions improved significantly, as median days on market dropped to 64 days from 102 days previously, a 37.3% reduction. Sellers achieved 92.3% of their original list price on average, up slightly from 91.1% in the prior period. The median living area for sold homes was 1,612 square feet, which is 5.5% smaller than the prior six-month window but 2.6% larger than the same period last year.
Inventory levels stood at 88 active listings, resulting in approximately 6.3 months of supply based on the closing pace. New construction accounted for 17 of the 83 closed sales during this period. While prices softened slightly compared to the prior half-year, the combination of faster sales and steady volume suggests a market that is adjusting rather than cooling sharply.
