In September 2026, ALEX Intelligence analyzed 101 closed sales in Bastrop County to determine how buyers were funding their purchases. The data shows that cash share and financed purchase shares are not available for this period, as the system recorded zero observations for financing type at close. This absence of data means we cannot calculate the percentage of buyers paying all cash versus those using a mortgage or other financing. Typically, this metric helps distinguish between investors or downsizers who pay cash and first-time buyers relying on loans. Without these figures, the specific composition of buyers in Bastrop County remains unquantified for this month. The 101 closed sales had a median price of $360,000, up 4.7% from August and 2.9% from September 2025. While we know the total volume and price trends, the funding source for these transactions is not captured in the current dataset. Buyers and sellers should note that this specific breakdown is unavailable until future reporting includes financing type data. For now, the market activity remains visible through sales counts and prices, but the cash-versus-financed split cannot be reported. ALEX Intelligence will continue to monitor when this data field becomes populated for Bastrop County. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
