Burnet New Listings vs. Closings: The Supply Gap

Burnet's housing market is defined by a widening gap between new supply and completed sales. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, 172 new listings entered the market while only 112 homes closed. This dual-axis trend shows that new inventory is arriving faster than transactions are finalizing. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the volume of events to quantify this supply gap. The 172 new listings represent fresh supply entering the pool, whereas the 112 closed sales reflect demand being met. With 168 active homes currently on the market, the ratio of inventory to monthly closings suggests a buyer-friendly environment where choice is increasing relative to the pace of sales. The data reveals a shift in volume compared to the prior six-month period. New listings rose from 123 to 172, an increase of 49 events, while closed sales grew from 93 to 112. This divergence indicates that sellers are listing at a higher rate than buyers are closing deals, contributing to the current inventory levels. The median home size in these transactions was 1,769 square feet, slightly smaller than the 1,821 square feet seen in the prior period. As new listings outpace closings, the market continues to accumulate stock, offering more options for prospective buyers without immediate pressure from scarcity. Want a closer look?
