Top-Rated Real Estate Agents for Texas Buyers and Sellers

What is your La Grange home worth when one new build can move the median?

Quick answer

In my read, price your La Grange home to its competition, the homes a buyer can choose between today, and treat the median as a summary of other houses. Price per square foot was $191 over the twelve months ending October 15, 2026, against $175 in the twelve months before, so prices have risen.

Homes in the last three months still closed at 92.9% of original asking.

What did La Grange homes sell for per square foot lately?

The typical La Grange home that sold in the last three months went for $192 per square foot, in a house of 1,590 square feet. A seller in The View or Sunset Ridge Estates has only a few sales to point to, and a town figure blends them with every other part of La Grange.

Resales sold for $187 per square foot. The one new build is too few to set beside them, so there is no new-build price to compare with, and the chart below shows what a square foot of resale sold for.

Are La Grange home prices higher than a year ago?

Prices in La Grange are higher on the twelve-month figures. Over the past twelve months, price per square foot ran $191, against $175 in the twelve months before.

The median sale price moved with it, $321,000 against $300,000, so the rise shows in the price of the space and in the price of the house.

That rise rests on 45 sales over the twelve months and can move with the mix of homes that happened to sell. It belongs to the town as a whole. Whether your house gained the same depends on its condition and the homes around it, which only the walkthrough looks at.

Why can the La Grange median mislead me?

The median sale price over the last three months was $345,450. Leave out the single new build and the resale median is $333,225, which shows how far one house can move a median when 13 sales sit behind it.

A median also says nothing about your house. It blends big and small, old and new, and the sellers who cut with the ones who did not, so it works as a summary of the town and a poor instrument for pricing one home.

What are builders and resale sellers asking in La Grange?

The typical home for sale in La Grange asks $414,750, or $185 per square foot.

Builder listings ask more per square foot than resales, $233 against $182, though only a handful of listings stand behind the builder figure. Asking prices are what sellers hope for, and the sold figures above are what buyers paid, so I do not set the two side by side. Which builders and communities those listings come from is on Which La Grange price ranges do builders skip, and does your home sit in one?

What did buyers actually pay in La Grange?

Homes in the last three months closed at 92.9% of original asking, and the comparison with the Austin metro is on How far can a La Grange seller trust a market read built on so few sales? A price point changes which market a home is in, and the town reading is not a reading for your street.

Resales alone closed at 93.2% of original asking, a little above the town figure.

Should I price to my appraised value?

An appraised value is set for tax purposes, and a sale price is agreed in a contract. The two are separate numbers, and I make no call on how any appraisal will come out.

What WIR can tell you is what a buyer would pay.

Will your price hold up beside the other La Grange listings?

Your price against the closed sales, and the condition of the house, decide it. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.

Your situation

In The View or Sunset Ridge Estates, where only a few homes closed over the past year, one sale can carry a lot of weight in a price conversation. The figures above describe other houses.
