Can buyers afford entry-level homes in Blanco County right now? The median price for the bottom quartile of sales is $395,000 across 49 closed transactions over the last six months. This figure represents the most affordable tier available in the current market data. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the affordability landscape using a standard payment model based on the median sale price of $575,000 for the broader county and the bottom quartile threshold. With a 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 7.4% from the week of October 8, 2026, monthly principal and interest payments on an entry-level home require careful budgeting. The data shows that while prices in the lower tier are accessible, the prevailing interest rate significantly impacts the total cost of ownership compared to previous years. The median price for entry-level properties has shifted over the trailing twelve months, with recent activity showing a median close price of $395,000 in October 2025 and $473,000 in September 2025. The current market environment reflects a median days on market of 83 days for all sales, indicating that even entry-level properties may take time to sell. Buyers should note that the median price per square foot for these homes is approximately $301, which is higher than the same period last year by 13.2%. This analysis relies on a rolling six-month window of 49 closed sales. The data does not include financing details for individual entry-level transactions, so actual monthly payments will vary based on specific loan terms and down payment amounts. The current rate environment suggests that buyers should evaluate their purchasing power against the median price of $395,000 rather than the county-wide median of $575,000. Want to see this home?
