What the Williamson County Price Per Square Foot Chart Actually Shows

From May 2021 through mid-2022, price per square foot rose sharply as the post-pandemic demand surge pushed values from $248 toward $330. Then came a leveling period through late 2023 and into early 2024 where Williamson County price per square foot held relatively flat, oscillating between $310 and $345 as interest rates rose and buyer urgency cooled.

Starting in late 2023 and accelerating through 2024 and 2025, the Williamson County price per square foot resumed its climb. By May 2026 it reached approximately $372, a new five year high. The pattern tells you that the 2022 plateau was not a peak. It was a pause.

A future Turner Victory Team video will examine the specific factors behind this, including potential zoning changes and the shift in what price points are closing most frequently.
