Guadalupe County Market Recap: Prices Up, Sales Down in Oct

Guadalupe County saw a distinct shift in value versus volume over the past six months. The median home price climbed to $330,750, representing a 4.4% increase from the prior six-month period and a 14.1% jump compared to the same window last year. This appreciation occurred alongside a slight dip in sales activity, with 86 closed homes recorded against 84 in the previous period and 110 during the same timeframe twelve months ago. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the pricing dynamics to show that buyers are paying closer to list prices than they did a year ago. The median close-to-original list ratio rose to 94.8%, up from 93% last year, while the share of homes selling below original list price fell to 74.4%. This indicates a market where negotiation leverage has shifted slightly toward sellers, even as the number of days on market held steady at 58 days. The data also reveals a trend toward larger homes. The median living area grew to 2,034 square feet, up 7.9% from the prior period and 15% higher than last year. While new construction accounted for 10 of the 86 closings, the overall market activity remains constrained by supply, with 107 active listings currently on the market. This executive summary reflects the rolling six-month performance ending October 31, 2026, based on ABOR-listed sales only. The figures demonstrate a market where values are rising despite lower transaction volumes and stable inventory levels. Want to see this home?
