Belterra Home Sizes Are Shrinking in the Last Six Months

Are Belterra buyers getting smaller homes for higher prices? The data suggests a distinct shift in the market's composition over the last six months. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 55 closed single-family home sales to track size trends. The median living area now stands at 2,903 square feet, up from 2,774 square feet in the prior six-month period but down significantly from the 3,143 square feet recorded a year ago. This represents a 4.7% increase compared to the previous half-year, yet a 7.6% decrease compared to the same window last year. While the median sale price rose 7.1% to $698,800 during this six-month span, the average home footprint has contracted relative to historical norms. The median price per square foot ticked up slightly by 0.5% from the prior period and is now 1.6% higher than a year ago. This trend indicates that while transaction values are climbing, the physical size of homes closing in Belterra is trending downward compared to last year's inventory. Buyers today are paying more per square foot for a home that is physically smaller than those selling twelve months ago. The data reflects a rolling six-month window ending October 31, 2026, covering all single-family homes with prices net of seller-paid concessions. Want a closer look?
