Here is where the Hays County housing market stands this month, from residential sales recorded in Unlock MLS. Every figure is a median or a total for the area; Texas is a non-disclosure state, so we never publish what an individual home sold for. These figures cover the cities in our Hays County report (Dripping Springs), not every sale in the county.
Over the last 12 months, 609 homes closed in Hays County, down 0.5% from the 12 months before. The median sale price was $625,000 (down 2.3% year over year), and the median home sold in 44 days (faster by 6.4% than a year earlier). There are 255 homes for sale right now, about 5 months of inventory at the current pace, which by the common rule of thumb is a fairly balanced market.
