Here is where the Horseshoe Bay (Burnet 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 ZIP code 78657.

Over the last 12 months, 170 homes closed in Horseshoe Bay, up 4.9% from the 12 months before. The median sale price was $750,000 (down 4.1% year over year), and the median home sold in 92 days (longer by 2.2% than a year earlier). There are 184 homes for sale right now, about 13 months of inventory at the current pace, which by the common rule of thumb gives buyers more room to negotiate.
