Executive Overview

The median sold price in San Antonio, TX (ZIP: 78260) is currently $549,000, reflecting a market that has decreased 8% since 2022. This decline in sold prices indicates a recalibration phase as the market transitions from a decade of rapid growth to a more stable environment. The elevated median listing price of $587,000 suggests that seller expectations may not fully align with current buyer sentiment, contributing to a slower sales velocity characterized by 219 days on market.

Despite these challenges, the local economy remains structurally positive, supported by ongoing population growth and corporate stability. The market temperature is currently assessed as neutral, indicating a balance between supply and demand. However, with interest rates easing from their peaks, there may be potential for increased market activity in the near future, particularly as buyers regain some negotiating power.
