Mueller Home Sizes Shrink Slightly in Rolling Six Months

Are buyers in Mueller trading square footage for location? The data suggests a subtle shift toward smaller homes even as prices climb. Over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, the median living area for closed sales dropped to 2,090 square feet, down 4.8% from the prior six-month period when it stood at 2,196 square feet. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the size trends across 21 closed transactions to identify this pattern. While the median home price rose 2.4% to $977,000 during the same window, the average footprint of a sold property has contracted compared to the previous six months. This trend continues from the prior year, where the median size was 2,154 square feet, representing a 3.0% decrease over twelve months. The market is seeing homes sell faster as well, with days on market falling 60.7% compared to the same period last year. Despite the smaller average size, the price per square foot increased 6.1% year-over-year to $479.81. This indicates that while buyers are acquiring slightly less living space, they are paying a premium for the specific attributes of these Mueller properties. The shift in home size may reflect changing preferences or inventory availability within this established community. As the market adjusts, the balance between square footage and price per unit remains a key metric for understanding value in this Austin neighborhood. Want a closer look?
