Measured October 13, 2026

Only 2 of 7 states have at least 3 barndominium companies publishing their own finished-home price. In Missouri, the median range is $150–$250 per square foot (4 companies). In Oklahoma, the median range is $153–$173 per square foot (4 companies).

Most states in our samples do not have enough published prices to say what a finished barndominium costs there. We show a range only where at least three companies publish their own.

2/7states with 3+ own finished-home price ranges

Base: 10 companies with their own finished-home range, across 7 states. Measured October 13, 2026.

What we found

We took every company that publishes its own per-square-foot range for a finished home and grouped them by the states where they are listed. Missouri: 4; Kansas: 1; Oklahoma: 4; Texas: 2; Arkansas: 0; Nebraska: 0; Iowa: 0.

Missouri’s 4 ranges have a median low end of $150 and a median high end of $250 per square foot, spanning $125 to $250. Oklahoma’s 4 ranges have a median low end of $153 and a median high end of $173 per square foot, spanning $140 to $225. Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Nebraska and Iowa have fewer than 3, so we do not publish a state range there.

General market guidance, including the identical dealer text repeated across several sites, is excluded, as are kit and package prices.

Missouri: median $150–$250 per sq ft from 4 companies; Oklahoma: median $153–$173 per sq ft from 4 companies. Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Nebraska and Iowa have fewer than 3 own ranges, too few to summarize.

Why it matters

A state range built from one or two companies would describe those companies, not the state. With three or more, it is still a small sample, but it shows what local builders put in writing.

What this number can’t tell you

  • A published range is not a quote and rarely says which spaces the square footage covers.
  • Ranges come from a few companies, and the same company can count in two states.
  • Site work, utilities, wells and septic are usually outside these numbers.

What to do with it

  • Ask every bidder which spaces their square-foot price covers and what is excluded.
  • Where your state has too few published prices, ask at least three builders for a written, itemized number.
