Is the average home getting bigger in Guadalupe County? The data says yes. Across 86 closed sales in the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, the median living area reached 1,901 square feet. This represents a 1.0% increase compared to the prior six-month period and a 6.3% jump from the same window last year when homes averaged 1,788 square feet.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the size trends of these properties to track how buyer preferences are shifting toward larger floor plans. The median price per square foot also rose by 4.4% over the prior period, reaching $167, indicating that buyers are paying for the extra space rather than just absorbing inflation.
While the median days on market dropped significantly to 43 days from 59 days previously, the growth in home size suggests a demand for more spacious living arrangements even as inventory tightens. The average new construction closed in this window was also larger, contributing to the overall upward trend in square footage.
This shift toward larger homes reflects a broader pattern where buyers are prioritizing space and functionality over smaller footprints, driving the median living area higher despite fluctuations in sales volume.

Coverage: most home sales in Guadalupe County are listed in another MLS, which ALEX does not receive yet. The figures in this post count only sales listed in Unlock MLS (ABOR), so they describe part of the local market, not all of it.
