Bastrop: How List-to-Sale Ratios Shifted in September

In September, buyers in Bastrop paid a median of $382,500 for homes that originally listed for higher prices, resulting in a list-to-sale ratio of 94.1%. This figure represents the relationship between the final closing price and the original listing price, calculated across 50 closed sales. The ratio dipped slightly from 95.3% in August, indicating that sellers accepted offers further below their initial asking prices compared to the previous month. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics by comparing the median close price against the original list price for every transaction. While the median sale price fell 0.6% from the prior month, the gap between what was asked and what was paid widened slightly. The share of homes selling below their original list price stood at 86%, a decrease from 91.5% in August, suggesting that while fewer homes sold under list, those that did required deeper discounts on average. Compared to September 2025, the list-to-sale ratio improved by 0.9 percentage points, reaching 94.1% against 93.3% last year. This shift coincides with a 10.7% increase in median prices year-over-year, even as homes took an average of 58 days to sell, matching the prior month but dropping 15.9% from the 69 days seen a year ago. The data reflects a market where price adjustments are becoming more common, yet final sale values remain significantly higher than they were twelve months ago. Want to see this home?
