New Braunfels Home Sizes Shrink in September

The median home size sold in New Braunfels this month was 2,106 square feet, down from 2,239 square feet in August. This shift toward smaller living areas coincides with a sharper drop in prices, as the median close price fell to $331,500, a 17% decrease from the prior month and a 17.6% drop compared to September 2025. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling trend of home sizes over the last two years to identify this contraction. While the median living area was 1,988 square feet in September 2025, the current figure represents a 5.9% increase year-over-year despite the month-over-month decline. The data suggests that recent sales are concentrated in smaller floor plans compared to the previous month's larger transactions. This change in home size occurred alongside a longer time on market, with properties taking 71 days to sell, up 29.1% from August. The median price per square foot also declined to $164, down 12.3% from the prior period. These figures reflect a market adjusting to lower price points and potentially different buyer preferences for compact living spaces in the current environment. The analysis is based on 13 closed sales in September 2026. As an ABOR-listed market, these figures represent only the sales recorded through that specific board. Looking to buy in New Braunfels?
