In Blanco Vista, buyers and sellers are negotiating closer to the asking price than they were six months ago. Across 27 closed sales in the rolling six-month period ending October 31, 2026, the median home sold for $325,000, which is 95.5% of the original list price. This represents a 2.4% improvement over the prior six-month period when homes sold at 93.3% of list.
The list-to-sale price ratio measures how close the final contract price is to the initial asking price. A ratio below 100% indicates that homes sold for less than listed, while a ratio above 100% means they sold for more. In this market, 77.8% of closed sales finished below their original list price, down from 91.1% in the prior period. This shift suggests that sellers are becoming more realistic with their initial pricing strategies.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the relationship between original lists and final sale prices to track this trend. The median close-to-original list ratio improved by 2.4 percentage points compared to the previous six months, while remaining slightly below the 94.1% recorded in the same window last year. The data shows a market where price reductions are becoming less frequent or smaller as negotiations conclude closer to the starting point.
The median home size also shifted, with sold properties averaging 1,934 square feet, down from 2,049 square feet in the prior period. This change in inventory mix may influence how prices are perceived relative to list amounts. As the market continues to adjust, understanding this ratio helps buyers gauge negotiation room and sellers set competitive initial prices.
