Bastrop Quarterly Land Report page

Snapshot Q1 2026

Bastrop County has shown rapid population growth since 2020, which increases pressure on transportation and land use decisions

What the broader land market is signaling

In the TRERC Region 7 dataset, median per-acre pricing reached $7,704 per acre in 3Q2025, while small rural land behavior (more representative of your 10–50 acre segment) has shown substantially higher per acre pricing in regional small-tract data

Corridor watch

Projects and studies that can change “who buys what” in Bastrop County include the US 290 extension study (SH 130 to SH 95 South) and SH 71 East Corridor improvements at FM 1209.

Local development signals (selected)

Use one or two credible examples, like the Sendero mixed-use project at Hwy 71 and FM 969, to frame “commercial gravity increases nearby land optionality.”

What this means right now

- Buyers: prioritize access + water/septic feasibility over “pretty acreage.”

- Sellers: a clean facts package (access, survey clarity, utility realism) reduces buyer objections and supports stronger offers
