Hey San Antonio friends! If you’ve been wondering whether now is a good time to jump into the real estate market—whether buying, selling, or just browsing Zillow at midnight (we see you 👀)—you’re in the right place.
Let’s break down what’s actually happening in our market this summer and how to make the most of it.
Unlike the wild rollercoaster of the last few years, homes in San Antonio are now taking a little longer to sell—think 52 to 87 days on average. That means:
✅ More time to think
✅ More wiggle room on price
✅ Less stress and fewer bidding wars
Pro Tip: Look for homes that have been on the market over 60 days—there may be motivated sellers open to negotiating (hello, closing cost credits!).
San Antonio is #8 in the U.S. for new construction right now—and it shows! From far West San Antonio to the 281 North corridor, we’re seeing brand-new homes popping up with modern layouts, energy efficiency, and builder incentives galore.

We’re seeing some much-needed price stabilization, with median home prices hanging around $297K–$300K. This is great news for both buyers and sellers:
Buyers: You’re not competing with crazy overbids.
Sellers: You can still capture strong value—just be sure to price it right.
If you’ve dreamed of owning a second home in the Hill Country or near Canyon Lake, listen up: second home purchases have dropped significantly in Texas, which means less competition and more opportunity for local buyers.
Whether you’re planning to:
Host a pool party in your own backyard
Downsize into a cozy condo near the Pearl
Snag your first investment property out by UTSA
...you need a smart search setup.
