Bertram’s ZIP code, 78605, carries 5.9 months of inventory as of October 16, 2026, about level with the Austin metro and fewer than Burnet.
Over the three months ending October 15, 2026, Bertram sellers got 93.5% of their original asking price, a smaller share than across the metro, so the town as a whole reads as a buyer’s market even with metro-level inventory, and a price point changes which market a home is in. In my read, months of inventory alone understates how much a seller here has to give.

Burnet carries the most months of inventory of the four towns and Liberty Hill the fewest, as the table shows. All four read as a buyer’s market overall, and each reading is for that town as a whole, since a price point changes which market a home is in. Bertram has the lowest typical sale price of the four.

The table answers that range by range. Each reading rests on what homes in the range closed at against their original asking price, and it describes the range as a whole. A range appears only when it had 10 or more sales in the last 90 days.
Table 5. Bertram homes by price range. Sales are from the 90 days ending October 15, 2026; homes for sale are as of October 16, 2026. A range is a seller’s market when homes sell for at least 97% of their original asking price, balanced from 94% to 97%, and a buyer’s market below 94%. Each reading is for that price range only; a different price point changes which market a home is in. Only price ranges with at least 10 sales in the last 90 days are shown. Source: Unlock MLS.
| Price range | Sold | Median sale price | For sale | New builds for sale | Homes that cut their price | Months of supply | Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $250,000 to $299,999 | 11 | $240,000 | 19 | 15 | 12 | 5.2 | buyer’s market |
| $300,000 to $349,999 | 10 | $300,000 | 17 | 9 | 10 | 5.1 | buyer’s market |
Two ranges clear that bar, and both read as a buyer’s market for that range. The share of original asking behind each reading is in the table.
The $200,000 to $249,999 range had too few sales in the last 90 days to appear, and on the twelve-month basis it reads balanced for that range. Which ranges favor listing now and which favor waiting is worked through in Sell your Bertram home now, or wait? How far below first asking buyers close.
