Bastrop County: How List Prices Compare to Final Sells in October

In October, buyers in Bastrop County paid a median of $330,545 for 84 single-family homes, settling at 92.7% of the original list price. This ratio has shifted slightly over the last year, as sellers accepted 91.7% of their asking prices during October 2025. The current market shows a median close-to-original list ratio of 0.927, indicating that while most homes still sell below the initial price, the gap between listing and selling has narrowed compared to the previous year. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics across these transactions to determine how closely final sales align with initial expectations. The data reveals that 83.3% of closed sales fell below their original list prices, a figure that has improved slightly from 91.3% in October 2025. This suggests that while price reductions remain common, the market is seeing fewer deep discounts than it did twelve months ago. The median price per square foot also reflects these trends, settling at $174.17 for the month, down 5.8% from the same period last year when it stood at $184.92. This decline in price per unit of living space coincides with a slight increase in time on market, which rose to 97 days compared to 84 days a year ago. These figures illustrate a market where negotiation remains a key component of the transaction process for both buyers and sellers. The analysis covers all single-family home sales in Bastrop County for October 2026, providing a clear view of current pricing behavior without projecting future trends. Want to see this home?
