Bob McCranie of Texas Pride Realty Group – HomeSmart Stars pulls current MLS-sourced data directly from the live Burnet County market report to help buyers and sellers make sense of where this market stands right now — countywide and city by city.

City Spotlight: Marble Falls, Burnet & Granite Shoals

County-wide averages only tell part of the story on the Highland Lakes. Here's how three of Burnet County's most-searched cities compare right now:

Marble Falls Market Report 125 active

Avg. Price: $758,112 Cost/Sq Ft: $336 Avg. Size: 2,323 sq ft Avg. DOM: 118 days Under Contract: 20

Marble Falls carries the second-deepest active inventory of the three spotlighted cities, with pricing that tracks close to the countywide average. Also home to Marble Falls homes for sale across a wide range of lake and Hill Country properties.

Burnet Market Report 164 active

Avg. Price: $697,154 Cost/Sq Ft: $296 Avg. Size: 2,206 sq ft Avg. DOM: 124 days Under Contract: 25

As the county seat, Burnet has the deepest active inventory of the three, and is also home to the single highest-priced active listing in the entire county ($9,000,000 on Park Road 4). Its overall pricing runs somewhat below Marble Falls and well below Granite Shoals.

Granite Shoals Market Report 48 active

Avg. Price: $1,212,974 Cost/Sq Ft: $423 Avg. Size: 2,436 sq ft Avg. DOM: 146 days Under Contract: 9

Genuinely notable: Granite Shoals' active average ($1,212,974, driven by Lake LBJ waterfront estates on streets like Shorewood Drive and Belaire East Lane) is dramatically higher than its under-contract average ($350,177) — a nearly 3.5x gap. This suggests the city's ultra-luxury lakefront segment is sitting on the market while its more modestly priced homes are what's actually moving toward contract right now.

Average List Price by City (Active Listings)
Granite Shoals$1,212,974
Burnet County (all)$825,212
Marble Falls$758,112
Burnet (city)$697,154

Highest-Priced Active Listings

City Address Area List Price Beds Baths Living Sq Ft DOM
Burnet (countywide top) Park Road 4 $9,000,000 7 8 14,000 482 days
Granite Shoals S Shorewood Dr $6,500,000 7 7 8,561 152 days
Marble Falls Los Escondidos St $3,975,000 6 5 5,239 184 days

Note: two other listings in the source data (both under $6M) imply extreme per-square-foot values — $6,363/sq ft and $2,875/sq ft — almost certainly reflecting premium waterfront land rather than a comparable structure value, and are excluded from the table above.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers

  • Burnet (city) offers the most accessible pricing of the three spotlighted cities, with the deepest active inventory
  • Granite Shoals' wide gap between active and pending pricing suggests real negotiating room on the city's higher-end lakefront listings
  • With average days on market running 118–146 days across all three cities, buyers generally have more time to make decisions than in faster-moving urban markets
  • Working with a local team like Texas Pride Realty Group helps buyers see which Burnet County listings are priced in line with what's actually converting to contract

For Sellers

  • Granite Shoals sellers with waterfront estates should price carefully against what's actually closing, not just what's currently listed, given the active-to-pending price gap
  • Marble Falls and Burnet both show more balanced active-to-pending pricing, suggesting more predictable outcomes for typical listings
