Milam County home prices dipped slightly to a median of $245,000 across 83 closed sales in the rolling six months ending September 2026. This represents a 1.5% decrease from the prior six-month period and a 4.3% drop compared to the same window last year. The market also saw homes sell faster, with the median days on market falling to 64 days, down 37.3% from the previous six months and 22% lower than a year ago.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the transaction data to track these shifts in pricing and velocity. While prices softened, buyers are securing deals at a rate closer to the original list price, with the median close-to-original list ratio rising to 0.923. This indicates that although homes are selling for slightly less than their initial asking price on average, the gap is narrowing compared to the prior period.
Inventory remains tight relative to sales volume, with 88 active listings representing approximately 6.3 months of supply. The median home size sold was 1,612 square feet, which is 5.5% smaller than in the previous six-month window. New construction activity contributed 17 closed sales during this period. These figures reflect a market where speed has improved even as prices adjusted downward from their recent peaks.
