New Braunfels: List-to-Sale Ratios Explained

In New Braunfels, buyers paid a median of $332,500 for single-family homes, which represents 94.4% of the original list price across 86 closed sales in the rolling six months ending Oct 31, 2026. The list-to-sale ratio measures how close the final contract price lands to the initial asking price; a ratio below 1.0 indicates homes sold for less than listed. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics by comparing original list prices against final sale prices. Over this six-month window, the median close-to-original-list ratio was 0.944, up slightly from 0.94 in the prior six months but down 0.9% compared to the same period last year. This suggests that while homes are selling closer to their original lists than they did a year ago, the gap has widened slightly compared to the immediate past. The data shows that 82.6% of these sales closed below the original list price, a figure that rose 4.0 percentage points year-over-year but fell 2.4 percentage points from the prior six-month period. Median days on market dropped 36.7% to 62 days compared to the prior window, indicating faster movement despite the lower closing ratios. The median price per square foot reached $173.38, up 5.7% from the prior period but down 5.8% year-over-year. These figures reflect a market where negotiation remains active, with buyers securing deals below list prices in the majority of transactions even as inventory tightens and sales velocity increases. The median home size sold was 1,970 square feet, up 4.4% from the prior period. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing. Data from Unlock MLS.
