The median home size sold in Kissing Tree has shrunk to 1,918 square feet, down from 2,067 square feet in the prior six-month period. This shift marks a distinct change in what buyers are closing on within this master-planned community near San Marcos.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling 6-month data ending October 31, 2026, to track these size trends. The current median living area is 7.2% smaller than the previous period and 5.4% smaller than the same window a year ago. While the number of closed sales remains steady at 36 homes, the average footprint of those properties has contracted.
This reduction in square footage coincides with a drop in median closing prices to $481,490, down 10.0% from the prior period. The market is seeing fewer large homes sell compared to the previous six months, where the median size was closer to 2,067 square feet. Buyers appear to be settling for slightly smaller footprints as inventory dynamics shift and price sensitivity increases.
The data reflects a broader trend where home sizes are adjusting alongside price points. With 36 closed sales in this window, the sample is sufficient to confirm that the typical home sold in Kissing Tree is now more compact than it was earlier this year. This size adjustment may signal a move toward entry-level or mid-range configurations within the community's inventory.
The median price per square foot also declined to $235.52, down 7.6% from the prior period. As homes get smaller, the overall value proposition for buyers in Kissing Tree continues to evolve, with fewer large lots and living spaces changing hands compared to the previous six months.
