The city’s count of new homes back to 2016, the 401 lots still open in its active subdivisions, and the paperwork a new build uses.
The City of Burleson counts every new home it permits, year by year, back to 2016. Fiscal 2026 counted 114, and the average new-home permit, garage included, came to 3,705 square feet, the most of any year in the table.
6th Ave Homes put this page together. We sell real estate, design and build homes, and hire agents, which is why we made it. You can open every source yourself; they’re listed at the bottom. Checked October 15, 2026.
The permit ledger
New-home permits in Burleson, 2016 to 2026
The City of Burleson publishes a Building Permit Activity Report every month. The September 2026 edition closes the city’s fiscal year, which runs October through September, and it carries a count of new single-family permits for every year back to 2016. Here it is.

Fiscal 2026 closed at 114, about two new homes a week. That’s 49 fewer than 2025, and under a third of the 372 the city permitted in 2020, about seven a week.
When a buyer asks how much new construction Burleson has, this is the city’s own answer, and you can hand them the source. What the ledger can’t tell you: why the number moved. The report counts permits and gives no reasons, so we won’t guess at one. A permit counts a house the city has cleared to build. It says nothing about whether or when that house sells, and the report doesn’t count resales. For resales you need the MLS.

Size and lots
How big Burleson’s new homes are, and how many lots are open
The average new-home permit in fiscal 2026 covered 3,705 square feet, the highest of any year in the table. In 2016 it was 3,213. The first quarter of fiscal 2026 ran higher still, at 3,995. One thing to know when you quote these: the city counts everything under the permit, so the garage is in the number along with the living space, and so is other space the report doesn’t break out.
The same report tracks lots in 13 active subdivision phases. Its printed total doesn’t match its own rows, so we added the rows ourselves: 1,053 lots, 652 already permitted, 401 still available.
These phases aren’t the whole story. In September, 6 of the city’s 8 new-home permits landed in phases on this list, and the other 2 were in a subdivision the lot table doesn’t track. Still, if a buyer tells you they want a brand-new house in Burleson, this list is where to start looking.
| Subdivision | Phase | Total lots | Permitted | Available |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mountain Valley Lake Tract D Phase 2 | 2 | 139 | 67 | 72 |
| Pecan Grove | — | 81 | 16 | 65 |
| Bear Ridge Phase 1B | 1B | 69 | 8 | 61 |
| High Country Phase 2 | 2 | 86 | 28 | 58 |
| Mountain Valley Lake Tract D Phase 1 | 1 | 67 | 14 | 53 |
| Parks at Panchasarp Farms Phase 3 | 3 | 152 | 108 | 44 |
| High Country Phase 1 | 1 | 132 | 120 | 12 |
| Silo Mills Phase 1C | 1C | 15 | 4 | 11 |
| Oak Hills Phase 2 | 2 | 59 | 49 | 10 |
| Parks at Panchasarp Farms Phase 1 | 1 | 98 | 92 | 6 |
| Shannon Creek Phase 1 | 1 | 39 | 34 | 5 |
| Reverie Phase 3 | 3 | 69 | 65 | 4 |
| Reverie Phase 2 | 2 | 47 | 47 | 0 |
| Our sum of the rows | 1,053 | 652 | 401 |
Each row adds up on its own; only the report’s printed total is off, which is why the sum above is ours. Open spaces (38) are counted separately and left out of this table.
The contracts
The TREC contracts for selling a new home in Burleson
A new home is sold on different paperwork from a resale. The Texas Real Estate Commission writes two contracts just for new homes, though a builder can require its own instead. A third form covers a home inside a public improvement district, which matters here.
One question to settle before your buyer’s first visit to a model home: ask the builder’s sales office how it works with buyers’ agents, and get the answer in writing.

How 6th Ave Homes helps real estate agents sell in Burleson
We already have design and construction projects in Burleson. Join us, and that design and build team works with you and your clients.
When a buyer loves a Burleson house but not its floor plan, you can bring our designers, drafters and builders in before the offer is written. Your buyer can hear what the change would involve, who on our team would do it, and a rough idea of cost. You’re the agent who answered the question while the buyer could still decide. And if that client hires us for the design or the build, you earn a referral bonus.
- MLS access, no wait on our end. 6th Ave Homes is an NTREIS MLS Participant. You get access as soon as you sign up, and that’s where Burleson’s resales live, the part the city’s report leaves out.
- Contract training. One of our programs, Your Guide to Texas Real Estate, gives five weeks to the contract side of a deal: deadlines, inspections, and negotiating for your buyer. On top of it, there’s an optional training every week, at the office or from home.
- A mentor for new agents. If you’re newly licensed, a mentor works your first three transactions with you.
- Your leads stay yours. The people who own 6th Ave Homes design and build houses, but none of them works as an agent, so a lead you bring in stays yours.
You don’t have to join to see how we work. We welcome guests at every weekly training and at the mastermind.

Questions about real estate careers in Burleson
How many new homes did Burleson permit in 2026?
114 new single-family homes in fiscal 2026, which ran from October 2025 through September 2026. That’s the lowest count in the city’s table, which starts in 2016; the highest was 372, in 2020. The figures come from the city’s monthly Building Permit Activity Report.
How big are new homes in Burleson, TX?
The average new-home permit in fiscal 2026 covered 3,705 square feet, up from 3,213 in 2016. That figure is everything under the permit, garage and other non-living space included, so the living area is smaller than the number suggests.
Which contract is used to buy a new construction home in Texas?
Two new-home contracts from TREC, chosen by whether the house is finished. If the builder hasn’t finished the house, it’s the New Home Contract (Incomplete Construction), form 23-20. If the house is finished and nobody has lived in it, it’s the New Home Contract (Completed Construction), form 24-20. Both forms were last updated July 1, 2026. A builder can also use its own contract; TREC’s rules allow a form the owner prepared, or one an attorney prepared that the owner requires.
Which Burleson neighborhoods are in a public improvement district?
The city lists one PID: The Parks at Panchasarp Farms. Property owners inside a PID pay an assessment for the improvements it funds, under chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code. TREC publishes addendum 53-0 for giving a buyer notice of that assessment.
Do you need a different license to sell new construction in Texas?
No. A Texas real estate sales agent license covers new homes and resales alike. What changes is the paperwork: a new home goes on one of TREC’s new-home contracts or the builder’s own, not the resale form. Getting the license itself is laid out on our licensing page.
Does 6th Ave Homes do construction work in Burleson?
Yes. We have design and construction projects in Burleson. Agents with our brokerage can bring our designers, drafters and builders into a client’s decision, and earn a referral bonus when that client hires us.

Gaps
- Why Burleson’s permit count changed. The report gives counts, not reasons.
- How many Burleson homes resell each year. The city doesn’t publish it, and MLS data isn’t public.
- How many agents work out of Burleson. TREC records a county for each license, not a city.
