Here is how December 2025 closed for residential sales in Hays County, from sales recorded in Unlock MLS, set against December 2024. Figures are totals and medians for the area. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so we never publish what an individual home sold for. They cover the cities in our Hays County report (Dripping Springs), not every sale in the county.
