Milam County Home Sizes Are Shrinking in Late 2026

Are Milam County buyers trading square footage for affordability? The data suggests a shift toward smaller living spaces over the last half-year. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 76 closed sales in the rolling six-month period ending October 31, 2026, to track home size trends. The median living area for these homes is now 1,610 square feet, down from 1,708 square feet in the prior six-month window. This represents a 5.7% decrease compared to the previous period and a 2.5% increase year-over-year against the same window last year when the median was 1,571 square feet. While the current median price remains stable at $245,750, the shrinking footprint indicates a change in buyer preferences or inventory availability. The median price per square foot has also adjusted, falling to $149.10 from $154.80 in the prior period, suggesting that smaller homes are commanding a slightly lower price per unit of space. This trend highlights how local market dynamics can influence the physical characteristics of sold properties. As inventory shifts, the average home size sold reflects what is currently available and what buyers are actively purchasing in Milam County. The analysis covers single-family homes with prices net of seller-paid concessions. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing. Data from Unlock MLS.
