San Antonio homes are taking longer to sell… and buyers, you need to pay attention to this. 👀🏡

The latest San Antonio housing market update for October 5–11 is showing something interesting.

Inventory dropped, mortgage rates improved slightly, and sellers are STILL adjusting prices to attract buyers.

Here’s what happened this week 👇

🏡 5,869 homes on the market
🆕 889 new listings
📉 1,862 price changes
🔑 527 homes sold
💰 $314,950 median sold price
📆 77 median days on market
🤝 $10,546 average seller concessions
🏦 7.48% 30-year fixed | 7.17% VA (October 9)

Now here’s what most buyers are missing…

Nearly 1,900 price changes AND sellers contributing an average of over $10,500 toward buyer costs.

That could mean opportunities to negotiate your purchase price, allowable closing costs, or even an interest-rate buydown.

And if you’re comparing resale homes with new construction in San Antonio, builder incentives could change the numbers even more.

But here’s the part I really want you to understand. 👇

The cheapest house isn’t always the most affordable house.

Property taxes, HOA fees, insurance, financing incentives, and even your daily commute can make two similarly priced homes VERY different purchases.

I’ve helped 225+ families relocate to San Antonio, and I don’t start by sending them listings.

📍 We start at the gate.

Whether you’re PCSing to JBSA, relocating for work, or already living in San Antonio and ready for your next home, we start with the location and work outward.

Because finding the right house means nothing if it’s in the wrong location for your life.

💬 What’s keeping you from buying right now: mortgage rates, home prices, or waiting for the right home?

Tell me in the comments! I’m curious what buyers are thinking.

📌 SAVE this San Antonio market update so you can compare the numbers as the market changes.

And SHARE it with someone who’s planning to buy a home in San Antonio, Schertz, Cibolo, New Braunfels, or Boerne.

San Antonio home buyers: the market just gave us a few numbers worth paying attention to. 👀🏡

The San Antonio housing market for September 28–October 4 shows something interesting: more homes sold, inventory moved back above 6,000, and sellers are still making adjustments to attract buyers.

Here’s what happened this week:

🏡 6,273 homes for sale
📉 2,348 price changes
🔑 919 homes sold
💰 $299,990 median sold price
📆 74 median days on market
🤝 $12,503 average seller concessions
🏦 7.57% 30-year fixed | 7.21% VA

That last combination is important.

Yes, mortgage rates are higher. But buyers are also seeing 2,300+ price changes and seller concessions averaging more than $12,500.

So if you’re moving to San Antonio, don’t look at the interest rate or asking price in isolation.

A seller credit could potentially help with closing costs or a rate buydown. A builder may be offering financing incentives. And a resale home that has been sitting for 70+ days may have more negotiating room than the listing price suggests.

This is where strategy matters.

I’ve helped more than 225 families relocate to San Antonio, and I don’t start by asking which house you like.

📍 We start at the gate.

Where do you need to commute? Lackland, Randolph, Fort Sam Houston/BAMC, downtown, the Medical Center or somewhere else?

Then we look at the areas that make sense for your commute, budget, property taxes and lifestyle — and compare resale vs. new construction before you make a decision.

If you’re relocating to San Antonio or PCSing to JBSA, save this market update and comment SAN ANTONIO if you want help figuring out where to start. ✈️🏡

San Antonio has fewer homes on the market this week, but that doesn’t mean buyers have lost their negotiating power. 🏡

From September 21–27, active inventory dropped from 6,340 to 5,938 homes. At the same time, more than 2,000 listings recorded price changes, and seller concessions continued to average over $10,000.

Here’s the weekly snapshot:

🏡 5,938 active homes 🆕 895 new listings 📉 2,014 price changes 🔑 568 homes sold 💰 $290,000 median sold price 📆 73 median days on market 🤝 $10,111 average seller concessions

The median sold price was $325,000 last week and $290,000 this week. That’s a significant difference, but it doesn’t mean home values dropped $35,000 in seven days. Each week reflects a different mix of homes that closed.

This is why I believe buyers need to look beyond the headlines and understand what’s happening in the specific neighborhoods they’re considering.

For families relocating to San Antonio, the numbers are only part of the equation.

A home in Cibolo may offer a completely different commute and tax situation than a similarly priced home in New Braunfels, Boerne or San Antonio’s Far West Side. New construction incentives can also change how a property compares with a resale home.

I’ve helped more than 225 families relocate to San Antonio, and as an Air Force veteran who has moved more than 10 times myself, I know how important it is to get the location right.

📍 We start at the gate.

Where do you need to be every morning? What commute works for your family? What does your total monthly payment look like after taxes, insurance and HOA fees?

Once we answer those questions, we can find the home that makes sense for your move.

If you’re moving to San Antonio or PCSing to JBSA, I’d love to help you build a relocation strategy before you start house hunting.

PCSing to Lackland AFB and trying to decide where to live in San Antonio? Start with these three areas:

🏡 Northwest San Antonio for established neighborhoods, convenient access, and comfortable price points

🏡 Far West San Antonio for newer homes and more inventory

🏡 Helotes for larger lots, mature trees, and a Hill Country feel

The biggest mistake I see is choosing a home based only on how close it appears to the base. Before making a decision, test the drive from the home to your actual gate during weekday rush hour. San Antonio traffic can completely change that commute.

After 23 years in the Air Force, more than 10 personal relocations, and helping hundreds of families move throughout the San Antonio area, I understand how overwhelming a PCS can feel.
