Burnet County: 7.6 Months of Inventory in September

Burnet County currently holds 7.58 months of inventory based on 61 closed sales in September 2026 compared to the 417 homes sold over the prior six months. This figure represents the time required to sell all current active listings at the current sales pace, calculated by dividing the 527 active homes today by the monthly average of closings. With inventory levels exceeding six months, the market has shifted decisively toward buyer conditions. A balanced market typically hovers near a four-to-six-month supply; anything above that threshold indicates buyers have more choices and greater leverage in negotiations. The median days on market for September stood at 89 days, up 39.1% from the prior month and 93.5% higher than the same period last year, further confirming the slower pace of transactions. Median closed prices fell to $319,000 in September, down 3.3% from August and 20.2% lower than September 2025. While the median price per square foot rose slightly to $202, the overall volume of sales dropped significantly, with only 61 homes closing compared to 84 in the previous month. This combination of rising inventory, extended time on market, and declining prices characterizes a buyer's market where supply outpaces demand. ALEX Intelligence classifies this market condition based on the months of inventory metric, which serves as a primary gauge for supply and demand balance. The current 7.58-month supply suggests that buyers can expect more negotiating power and less competition than in previous years. Want to see this home?
