What is the Buda market doing right now?

Buda is a steady, mid-priced market: prices edged up over the last year and sales held about level. Over the last 12 months, 156 homes sold at a median of $399,000, up 1.4% from $393,500 the year before, on 150 sales.

Homes are taking longer. The median home went under contract in 38 days, up from about 34 days. Sellers are getting closer to their first number: the typical home sold for 96.7% of its original list price, up from 96.2%. The share of sold homes that needed a price cut dropped from 51% to 45%.

With 53 homes for sale and about 13.0 sales a month, Buda has 4.1 months of supply. That is a balanced market. Buyers have room to negotiate on homes that launched above the recent sales, and homes priced to the market still go under contract on a normal timeline.

What does a home in Buda cost?

All 156 sales inside the Buda city boundary over the last 12 months were single-family houses, at a median of $399,000. The median sold house had about 2,145 square feet and sold for about $180 a square foot. Most of the housing is recent: the median sold house was built in 2011, and 87 of the 156 were built in 2010 or later. The median home for sale today is listed at $398,500, right in line with the recent sales, and the most expensive active listing is $829,900.

How fast do Buda homes sell?

The median Buda home took 38 days from listing to contract over the last 12 months, counted on cumulative days on market so a relisted home is not reset to zero. 45 percent of the homes that sold had cut their price at least once, and the typical home closed at 96.7% of its original list price.

For sellers, the practical read is that the first price does the work. Homes that launch in line with the recent sales go under contract well inside the median, and homes that launch above them tend to sit, cut, and sell for less than a well-priced launch would have brought.

How we read these numbers

These figures are residential closed sales (single-family, condo and townhome) from the ACTRIS MLS whose location falls inside the Buda city boundary used by our map search. Leases and sales under $40,000 are excluded. The current period is the 12 months ending September 27, 2026, compared with the 12 months before it. Days on market are cumulative. The for-sale count covers active single-family, condo and townhome listings; the map search also shows lots, land and other listing types, so its total can be higher. We publish area totals only, never an individual home's sale price.
