Briggs Area Market Update: Low Volume Activity in October

The Briggs area recorded just two closed sales over the trailing 12 months ending October 31, 2026. This limited activity reflects the unique nature of this Highland Lakes community compared to broader regional trends. While specific median prices and days on market are not available due to the small sample size, the page shows five new listings entered into the market during this period. Current inventory stands at three active homes for sale, indicating a tight supply environment despite the low transaction volume. One of the recent closed sales was a new construction home, highlighting that new builds continue to find buyers in this area. The broader Burnet County region saw 50 closed sales with a median price of $380,000 and an average of 118 days on market, providing context for the local activity levels. Current mortgage rates stand at 7.11% as of the week of November 12, 2026, according to Freddie Mac data. This rate environment influences buyer purchasing power across the region, including in the Briggs area where individual transaction details remain sparse due to the low volume of sales.
