Market Insights
Buyer Opportunity
With over six months of inventory, buyers have more choices and negotiating room than at any point in recent years. Well-priced homes still move, but the urgency has eased.
Prices Holding Steady
The median price of $307,000 shows the market is holding value. Sellers are not seeing declines, but pricing realistically matters more than ever in a balanced market.
Longer Timelines
Homes are taking an average of 87 days to sell. Proper pricing and presentation from day one make the difference between selling in weeks versus sitting for months.
Growing Supply
Active listings jumped 12% and new listings are up 11%. More inventory means more competition for sellers and more options for buyers. Strategy matters.
How to Read These Numbers
Months of Inventory
This is the single best indicator of market direction. Under four months means sellers have the upper hand. Four to six months is balanced. Over six months favors buyers. San Antonio at 6.09 months gives buyers more room to negotiate than at any time in recent memory.
Median Sold Price
The median is the midpoint where half of homes sold for more and half for less. It is a more reliable indicator than average price, which can be skewed by a handful of luxury or distressed sales. At $307,000, San Antonio remains one of the most affordable major metros in Texas.
Days on Market
This measures how long a typical listing sits before accepting an offer. At 87 days on average, the market has slowed from the rapid pace of 2021 and 2022. Well-priced, well-presented homes still sell quickly. Overpriced homes sit.
