Blanco County Home Sizes Are Shrinking in Late 2026

Are Blanco County buyers trading space for location? The data suggests a shift toward more compact living spaces. Over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, the median home size closed at 1,940 square feet, down from 2,216 square feet in the prior six-month period. This represents a 12.5% decrease in average footprint while the median price rose to $578,125. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling trend across 48 closed sales to identify this size shift. The median price per square foot climbed to $298.27, an 8.4% increase from the prior period and a 17.9% jump compared to the same window last year. This indicates that buyers are paying a premium for smaller homes, likely driven by demand in specific price tiers or lot constraints rather than a general move toward larger estates. Despite the reduction in square footage, the market remains active with 48 sales recorded in the six-month window. The median days on market held steady at 108 days, suggesting that while home sizes are shrinking, the time required to sell has not accelerated or slowed significantly compared to the previous half-year. This trend highlights a distinct change in buyer preference within the county's current inventory. https://alex.realestate Want to see this home?
