Here is how April 2026 closed for residential sales in Hays County, from sales recorded in Unlock MLS, set against April 2025. 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.
