Sunset Oaks Homes Are Getting Bigger in Rolling Six Months

Are homes in Sunset Oaks getting larger? The data says yes. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, the median living area for closed sales reached 1,627 square feet, a 12.2% increase compared to the prior six-month period where it was 1,450 square feet. This trend also shows a 6.0% rise compared to the same window a year ago when the median was 1,535 square feet. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the size-band shifts across these 40 closed sales to identify this pattern. The increase in home size coincides with a 3.7% rise in median close price to $269,745 and a 1.9% jump in median price per square foot to $158. While the market has seen more activity recently, with homes selling faster (median days on market dropped 20.8% from the prior period), the physical footprint of the properties sold is expanding. This shift suggests buyers are prioritizing space or that new construction in the area is delivering larger floor plans than before. The median home now offers significantly more square footage than it did six months ago, reflecting a change in the inventory mix or buyer demand for larger living areas within this price range. The data covers 40 closed sales over the specified window, providing a clear view of how the average home size is trending in Sunset Oaks during this period. Want a closer look?
