Lago Vista saw only 12 closed sales in September, the lowest monthly volume in over two years. The median closing price settled at $378,500, down 9.9% from August and 2.3% lower than September 2025. This marks a continued cooling trend where homes are selling for less relative to their original list prices, with the close-to-list ratio dropping to 90.5%.
Inventory remains elevated at 193 active listings, creating 6.5 months of supply. While this suggests a balanced market leaning toward buyers, the pace of sales has slowed significantly compared to the spring peak. The median days on market rose to 78 days, up 21.9% from August, indicating that properties are staying listed longer before going under contract.
Despite the slowdown in volume and price, the market shows resilience in specific segments. New construction accounted for two of the twelve closings, and the Lago Vista elementary school zone saw eleven sales with a median price of $368,000. The average home size sold was 1,780 square feet, down from the prior month's larger transactions.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the trailing twelve-month data to contextualize these figures. While September activity is thin compared to the 24 sales recorded a year ago, the median price remains within historical ranges for this time of year. The market is currently defined by higher inventory and longer selling times rather than a collapse in value.
Current mortgage rates stand at 7.32% according to Freddie Mac data from late October. For a buyer purchasing a $378,500 home, a 3-2-1 buydown could reduce the initial interest rate to 4.32%, saving roughly $578 per month in the first year at a total cost of $14,100.
The data reflects a market adjusting to higher rates and increased supply, with buyers gaining more negotiating power as sellers compete for fewer active transactions.
