Bastrop Home Sizes Are Growing in October

Is the typical home in Bastrop getting bigger? The data from October 2026 suggests a clear shift toward larger living spaces. Across 44 closed sales this month, the median living area reached 2,022 square feet, up 3.4% from the prior month and 1.9% higher than the same period last year. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling trend of home sizes to identify this pattern. While the median price dipped slightly by 1.0% compared to September, the physical footprint of sold homes expanded. This increase in square footage coincides with a rise in median price per square foot to $185, though that figure remains down 6.6% from last year. The shift indicates buyers are prioritizing space over compact footprints in the current market cycle. Homes with larger living areas continue to dominate the sales volume, pushing the community average upward even as other metrics fluctuate. This trend holds steady across the 24-month window of available data, confirming a sustained move toward bigger residences rather than a temporary anomaly. The median home sold for $378,700 with a median price per square foot of $185. These figures represent the central tendency of 44 transactions where size was a defining factor in the final sale. As inventory levels adjust, the demand for larger floor plans appears to be a consistent feature of the Bastrop market this year. Want a closer look?
