Guadalupe County Homes Are Getting Bigger

Are Guadalupe County homes getting larger? The data says yes. Across 87 closed sales in the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, the median living area reached 1,914 square feet. This represents a 1.7% increase compared to the prior six-month period and a 7.0% jump from the same window last year. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the size trends by comparing current sales against historical data to identify shifts in home dimensions. The median living area grew from 1,882 square feet in the previous six months and was just 1,788 square feet a year ago. This steady growth suggests buyers are prioritizing more space per transaction. The trend holds across different price points. While the median close price rose to $320,000, the increase in square footage indicates that homes are not just getting more expensive but also larger on average. The median price per square foot adjusted to $167, reflecting this shift toward bigger floor plans despite a slight year-over-year dip in price-per-square-foot metrics. As inventory remains tight with only 115 active listings, the demand for larger living spaces continues to shape the market. Buyers seeking more room are finding slightly larger options than in previous years, even as the total number of sales fluctuates. This shift toward bigger homes is a key feature of the current Guadalupe County landscape. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
