Reading the Buda Numbers

Buda’s position on I-35 between Austin and San Marcos gives genuine commuter appeal in both directions. Affordable price points keep buyer interest steady.

The Inventory Picture

Buda currently has 235 active listings and 2.5 months of supply at the March 2026 sales pace. Six months of supply is the generally accepted benchmark for a balanced market. Below that is a seller’s market; above it favors buyers.

That keeps Buda in seller’s market territory. Inventory remains tight relative to demand, especially at the entry-level and mid-range.

Months of Supply by Price Range

Not every price range moves the same way. Here’s how supply breaks down across the market:

Price Range Active Monthly Sales Months of Supply
Under $300K 46 23 2.0
$300K-$500K 152 61 2.5
$500K-$750K 27 11 2.5

Buyer Negotiating Power

Buyers in Buda are negotiating. Closings came in at 6.2% below asking price on average in March 2026. With a list-to-close ratio of 93.8%, sellers are giving up meaningful ground from their initial ask. That pattern benefits buyers who make offers below list.
