Lampasas County Market Heat Score: A Balanced View

Is Lampasas County heating up or cooling down? The answer lies in a composite heat score that blends speed of sale, price performance, and inventory levels. ALEX Intelligence calculated this market heat index using four key metrics: median days on market, the ratio of final sale price to original list price, the share of homes selling below asking, and current months of inventory. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, 77 homes closed with a median price of $319,990. This represents an 11.1% increase from the prior six-month period and a 6.7% rise compared to the same window last year. The median price per square foot also climbed 13.1% to $173. While homes are selling slightly faster relative to last year (52 days versus 57), the market remains balanced with 4.6 months of inventory available today. The heat score reflects a market where prices are rising steadily, yet buyers still have options. With 87% of sales closing below the original list price and sellers accepting an average of 94.5 cents on the dollar, negotiation room persists despite the strong price appreciation. The composite index suggests a stable environment rather than a frenzied seller's market or a distressed buyer's market.
