Burnet County: How List Prices Compare to Final Sales

In Burnet County, buyers paid a median of $380,000 for homes that originally listed for roughly $412,000. This results in a list-to-sale price ratio of 92.2% across 50 closed sales in October. The ratio dropped 1.0% from the prior month and is 3.6% higher than the same period last year. The list-to-sale ratio measures how close the final contract price is to the original asking price. A ratio below 100% indicates homes sold for less than listed, while a ratio above 100% means they sold for more. In October, 92% of all closed sales in Burnet County fell below their original list price, compared to 83.1% in September and 94.6% in October 2025. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics across these transactions to determine how negotiation leverage has shifted. While prices per square foot dipped slightly by 0.5% from the prior month, the gap between asking and selling prices widened as inventory levels adjusted. This metric helps buyers understand that while median prices rose 21.8% from September, sellers are accepting offers further below their initial expectations than they were a month ago. The data reflects a market where price reductions are becoming more common before a contract is signed. With 92% of homes selling under the original list, buyers have significant room to negotiate compared to the tight conditions seen in October 2025, when only 94.6% sold below list. Understanding this ratio is essential for setting realistic expectations on what a home will actually cost versus what it was advertised for. Want a closer look?
