Burnet County Home Sizes Shrink in September

Burnet County buyers are closing on smaller homes than they did a year ago. The median living area for closed sales in September 2026 was 1,734 square feet, down from 2,000 square feet in the same month last year and 1,960 square feet in August. This represents an 11.5% decrease compared to the prior month and a 13.3% drop year-over-year across 62 closed sales. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling trend of home sizes to identify this shift in buyer preference. The data shows that while the median price per square foot rose slightly to $201, the total footprint of homes sold has contracted significantly. In September, 62 transactions were recorded with a median close price of $316,995. The trend suggests a move toward more compact living spaces in the current market cycle. While the median days on market increased to 90 days, indicating a slower pace of sales, the reduction in square footage remains a distinct feature of recent closings. This pattern aligns with broader shifts where buyers prioritize location or price point over total interior space. The analysis covers all residential closed sales in Burnet County for the period ending September 30, 2026. The sample size of 62 transactions provides a statistically significant view of current home size trends in the region. Want to see this home?
