Burnet Home Sizes Shift to Smaller Living Areas

The median home size sold in Burnet has shrunk to 1,769 square feet over the last six months, down from 1,821 square feet in the prior six-month period. This shift reflects a change in what buyers are closing on, with ALEX Intelligence analyzing 112 closed sales to track the trend. The rolling 6-month analysis ending September 30, 2026, shows that while the median price per square foot rose slightly to $206, the total living area has contracted compared to the previous six months. The data indicates a move toward more compact floor plans or a higher volume of smaller homes closing relative to larger properties during this window. Comparing the data to the same period last year reveals that the median living area is now slightly larger than it was twelve months ago, when it stood at 1,755 square feet. Despite this slight year-over-year increase, the recent six-month contraction indicates a current market preference for homes under 1,800 square feet. The data also highlights that new construction accounted for 35 of the 112 closed sales in this period, suggesting that newer builds may be influencing the average size downward. As inventory dynamics shift, buyers are increasingly settling on properties that balance price and space differently than in previous years. ALEX Intelligence estimate, not an appraisal.
