Sonterra Home Sizes Are Growing in Rolling Six Months

Are buyers in Sonterra getting more house for their money? The data suggests a shift toward larger floor plans even as median prices soften. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, the median living area of closed homes rose to 1,745 square feet, up from 1,736 square feet in the prior six-month period and significantly higher than the 1,605 square feet recorded in the same window a year ago. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the size trends across 123 closed sales to track this shift. The median price per square foot fell 12.3% compared to last year, dropping from $163 to $143. This decline in price density coincides with an 8.7% increase in average home size year-over-year. While the median close price dropped 5.4% to $255,000, the physical footprint of homes sold has expanded. This trend indicates a market where buyers are prioritizing space over premium pricing per square foot. The data shows that as prices adjusted downward, the typical home sold in Sonterra grew larger, offering more living area for the same or lower total cost compared to previous years. This shift reflects changing buyer preferences in the current economic environment. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing. Data from Unlock MLS.
