San Antonio, TX 78213 Real Estate Market Report

ZIP Code: 78213
Report Date: February 2026
Market Temperature: NEUTRAL
Scope: Single-Family Residential (SFR) listings and comps only


Executive Overview

The median sold price in San Antonio, TX (ZIP: 78213) is $227,000, reflecting a recalibration in the housing market. This price indicates a slight year-over-year softening, aligning with the observed trend of decreased property values. The market appears to be adjusting, as evidenced by the 191 days on market, suggesting a slower sales velocity and a shift toward a more balanced environment that may favor buyers slightly. Elevated inventory levels and a neutral market temperature further underscore this transition, as buyers exhibit caution amid fluctuating economic conditions.

Despite the $262,500 median listing price, the gap between listing and sold prices suggests pricing friction, with sellers needing to adjust expectations to align with current market realities. The rental market is also experiencing a downturn, with median market rent at $1,650, indicating a broader trend of decreasing rental prices after a period of growth. Overall, while the local economy shows resilience, the combination of elevated inventory and moderate interest rate pressure may continue to influence buyer sentiment and market dynamics.
