Burnet County: How List Prices Compare to Sells in September

In September, homes in Burnet County sold for an average of 93.1% of their original asking price, down slightly from 92.6% the prior month and 93.6% a year ago. This metric, known as the list-to-sale price ratio, measures how close the final sale price is to the initial listing price. A ratio below 100% indicates that buyers negotiated discounts off the original ask. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between original list prices and final sale prices for 61 closed transactions to track this trend. The data shows that while 85.2% of homes sold below their original list price, the gap between the two figures has narrowed compared to last year when 94.3% of sales were under the ask. The median days on market also rose significantly, jumping 39.1% from the prior month and 93.5% from a year ago, suggesting sellers may need to be more aggressive with pricing to attract offers. Despite these shifts, the median sale price held at $319,000, though this represents a 20.2% decrease compared to September 2025. Understanding the list-to-sale ratio helps buyers and sellers gauge negotiation leverage. When the ratio drops, it often signals a shift toward buyer-favorable conditions where homes may sell for less than the initial sticker price. In Burnet County, this dynamic has become more pronounced over the last year as market activity adjusted to changing economic conditions. Want a closer look?
