Comal County Home Sizes Shrink in September

Comal County buyers are closing on smaller homes than a year ago. The median living area for closed sales in September 2026 was 1,962 square feet, down 5.5% from the same month last year and 13.7% lower than August. This shift occurred across 26 transactions, representing the most recent data available for the county. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling trend of home sizes to identify this contraction. While the median price rose to $497,000, a 13% increase from September 2025, the average footprint has shrunk. In August, the median size was 2,274 square feet, suggesting a rapid move toward more compact floor plans in recent months. The data indicates a clear pivot in buyer preference or inventory availability. Homes closing in September were significantly smaller than those sold in the prior month, even as prices climbed. This trend suggests that new listings or available stock may be skewing toward smaller configurations, or that buyers are prioritizing location over square footage in the current market environment. The median price per square foot rose to $235, up 14.1% from August and down slightly (0.8%) from September 2025. As inventory tightens with only 6.78 months of supply, the average home size continues to adjust downward while values remain elevated. Unlock MLS closed sales data, September 2026.
