Buda Market Recap: Sales Up, Prices Rise in October

What does a 40.6% drop in sales volume mean for Buda buyers and sellers? In October, the city saw 60 closed sales, down from 101 in September but up 15.4% compared to last October. Despite fewer transactions, the median closing price rose to $345,170, a 4.4% increase year-over-year and a 6.4% jump from the previous month. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the full October dataset of 60 closed sales to track these shifts. The market showed resilience in pricing even as activity cooled. The median price per square foot climbed to $177.76, up 4.1% from September, while homes spent an average of 70 days on market, a 52.2% increase from the prior month but still 9.1% faster than last October. New construction remained a significant driver, accounting for 19 of the 60 closings. The median living area grew to 1,975 square feet, reflecting a 3.3% year-over-year increase in home size. While 80% of homes sold below their original list price, the gap between list and sale narrowed slightly compared to last year. With 434 active listings and 60 closings, the market currently holds 5.0 months of inventory. This balance suggests a neutral environment where neither buyers nor sellers hold a distinct advantage. The data indicates that while transaction speed has slowed, price stability remains strong in Buda as we move through late 2026. Want to see this home?
