Breaking Down Buda’s February Performance
Buda closed 52 homes in February at a $350,000 median — a solid month for a city that’s been one of the most active growth markets in Hays County. Buda’s position on I-35 between Austin and San Marcos gives it genuine commuter appeal from both directions. The $350K price point is hitting the sweet spot of affordability for the market.
The Inventory Picture: A Market in Balance
Buda currently has 306 active listings and 5.9 months of supply at the February 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 puts Buda firmly in balanced market territory.
Where the Action Is (and Isn’t)
Not every price range moves the same way. The chart below breaks it down:
The $800K-$1M range is where buyers are competing, with under 4 months of supply. If you’re selling in that range, you have the upper hand.
How Fast Homes Are Selling
Homes in Buda closed with a 60-day median DOM in February. That’s consistent with the broader Hays County market and reflects a buyer pool that’s active but not frantic. New construction communities (Sunfield, Elm Grove) keep buyers with options, which naturally extends the selection timeline.
The median days on market for closed sales in February was 60 days. Active listings have a median DOM of 25 days, which gives you a sense of how the current inventory is performing.
Buyer Negotiating Power
Homes in Buda closed at -2.3% below asking price in February — modest but real negotiating room. The list-to-close ratio of 93.1% tells you that sellers who price correctly are getting deals done without dramatic concessions.
The Bigger Picture: Buda Pricing Over Time
The 2024 full-year median was $388,587. The 2025 full-year median was $384,558. The 2026 YTD median (January + February combined) is $332,495.
Buda’s annual median peaked around $399K in mid-2024 and has settled to the $350K-$380K range. The adjustment has been orderly — no dramatic drops, just a gradual return to pre-frenzy pricing that has actually brought more buyers back into the market.
The monthly view puts the current trend in sharper focus:
