Burnet County Market Heat Score: October 2026

Burnet County's market dynamics shifted significantly in October 2026, resulting in a composite Market Heat Score reflecting elevated inventory and slower sales velocity. This score is calculated using ALEX Intelligence methodology which weights days on market, sale-to-list ratios, inventory depth, and price reduction frequency against the region's activity levels. The median closed sales price reached $410,000 across 51 transactions, marking a 30.6% increase from the prior month but remaining 16.0% below the same period last year. Homes took an average of 101 days to sell, up 17.4% from September and 6.3% higher than October 2025. Only 92.3% of the original list price was achieved on average, with 92.2% of homes selling below their initial asking price. Current inventory stands at 504 active listings, creating a 7.4-month supply based on the trailing monthly closing rate. This high volume of available homes tempers the market heat despite the sharp month-over-month price appreciation. The ALEX Intelligence estimate indicates a market where buyers retain significant leverage due to extended time on market and abundant supply, even as prices show strong recent growth. The composite index combines these factors: slower sales velocity (101 DOM), lower sale-to-list ratios (92.3%), and high months of inventory (7.4). While price growth is strong, the extended time on market and abundant supply suggest a cooling trend from previous peaks, preventing a seller's market classification. Want a closer look?
