Bastrop County: Are Homes Getting Smaller?

Is the average home in Bastrop County shrinking? The data from September shows a shift in size trends. Across 103 closed sales, the median living area settled at 1,956 square feet, down 2.2% from the prior month and up 3.8% compared to the same time last year. ALEX Intelligence analyzed rolling size-band shifts to track this movement. While the current median is slightly smaller than the previous month's 2,000 square feet, it remains larger than the 1,884 square feet recorded in September 2025. This suggests a fluctuating market where home sizes are adjusting rather than following a single directional trend. The price per square foot also saw movement, dropping to $188 from $190 last month, though it remains higher than the $197 seen a year ago. As buyers and sellers navigate these changes, understanding the relationship between home size and price is essential for making informed decisions in the current market. The data reflects 103 transactions where living area was recorded, providing a clear snapshot of the housing stock currently changing hands in Bastrop County. Want to see this home?
