Buttercup Creek Home Sizes Are Growing in 2026

Are Buttercup Creek buyers looking for more space? The data says yes. Over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, the median living area for closed homes rose to 2,417 square feet, up from 2,317 square feet in the prior six-month period. This represents a 4.3% increase in size, while the median sale price dipped slightly by 1.4% to $488,000. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling trend across 57 closed sales to identify this shift toward larger floor plans. The average home sold in this window was also 2.1% larger than the same period last year, when the median size was 2,367 square feet. This suggests a sustained preference for bigger footprints rather than a temporary fluctuation. Despite the increase in square footage, price per square foot softened. The median price per square foot fell to $203.08, down 2.9% from the prior period and 3.1% lower than the same window last year. This indicates that while homes are getting larger, the cost per unit of space is decreasing. The market remains active with a median of 24 days on market, a significant improvement over the 49 days seen in the previous six-month window. As buyers prioritize size, sellers may find that larger homes continue to command attention even as price-per-square-foot metrics adjust downward. https://alex.realestate Want to see this home?
