East Austin Home Sizes Are Growing in September

The median home size sold in East Austin has grown to 1,680 square feet, up from 1,642 square feet the previous month and 1,514 square feet a year ago. This shift toward larger living areas occurred across 97 closed sales in September 2026. ALEX Intelligence analyzed rolling trends in home size to identify this pattern. The data shows that buyers are closing on homes with more square footage than they did in the prior month or the same period last year. While the median price remained steady at $495,000, the average size of a sold property increased by 2.3% compared to August and 11.0% compared to September 2025. This trend suggests a change in buyer preference or inventory mix within the East Austin market. As homes with larger footprints continue to sell, the overall median living area for the neighborhood rises. The data reflects actual closed transactions rather than new listings, providing a clear view of what is currently being purchased by residents in this part of Austin. The analysis covers 97 sales in the current month, meeting the minimum sample size required to establish this trend with statistical confidence. Want a closer look?
