Del Valle Home Sizes Shrink in October

The median living area for homes sold in Del Valle dropped to 1,654 square feet in October, down 6.5% from the prior month and 14.4% lower than the same time last year. This trend reflects a shift toward smaller single-family homes in the market over the trailing 12 months. ALEX Intelligence analyzed rolling home size trends across 19 closed sales to identify this contraction. The median square footage has declined from 1,769 feet in September and 1,932 feet in October 2025. While the median price fell 7.2% month-over-month to $289,990, the reduction in home size is a more pronounced structural change in the inventory available for sale. This shift suggests buyers are increasingly purchasing smaller footprints, potentially driven by affordability constraints or a preference for lower maintenance properties. The data shows a consistent downward trajectory in average home dimensions compared to the previous year, indicating a lasting change in what is being built and sold in this Austin suburb. The analysis covers 19 closed sales with a median price of $289,990. This figure represents single-family homes where prices are net of seller-paid concessions. The sample size meets the minimum requirement for tracking size trends over time. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing. Data from Unlock MLS.
