Is the Bastrop housing market shifting toward buyers? With 5.4 months of inventory available as of late September 2026, the answer is yes. This figure represents the time it would take to sell all current listings at the current sales pace, calculated by dividing the 305 active homes on the market by the 50 closed sales recorded in September.
Market analysts typically classify a market as balanced when inventory sits between four and six months. Bastrop currently sits at the upper end of this range, suggesting that buyers have more negotiating power than sellers. This is supported by the fact that 86% of homes sold below their original list price last month, compared to 91.5% in August.
The median sale price for these 50 closed transactions was $382,500, a slight decrease of 0.6% from the prior month but up 10.7% compared to September 2025. While homes are selling slightly slower than last year with a median of 58 days on market versus 69 days previously, the supply is growing faster than demand.
ALEX Intelligence classifies this as a buyer's market because inventory exceeds the six-month threshold often used for seller markets, yet remains within the balanced zone where prices are stable rather than surging. Buyers in Bastrop today can expect to find options and potentially negotiate on price, especially given that 305 homes are currently waiting for new owners.
