Is Now a Good Time to Buy a Home in San Antonio?

If you're wondering “Is now a good time to buy?”, here’s the San Antonio real estate scoop—with insights, trends, and how I can help!

📈 Market Snapshot: Supply & Prices

• May activity: In May 2025, San Antonio saw its highest monthly single-family sales of the year—3,229 homes sold—a 34% jump from February.

• Inventory rise: Homes for sale increased by 31.5% year-over-year, marking the 19th straight month of gains.

• Balanced pricing: Median sale price ($315K) rose just 2%, and average sale price (~$379K) showed only modest increases.

• Central market: In the Central San Antonio region, the median was $225K in May—down slightly, and nearly 60% of homes sold below asking price.

• City-wide trends: Overall San Antonio valuations are about $256K, down ~3.7% from last year.

🏦 Why the Timing Makes Sense

1. More listings = more choices
   With rising inventory, buyers can explore a wider range of homes and compare options.

2. Negotiation power
   Nearly 60% of Central SA homes sold under asking—buyers have more leverage right now.

3. Price stability
   Modest 2% annual price increases mean fewer bidding wars and more predictable budgeting.

4. Mortgage rates
   Though hovering around 6.5–7%, even a small dip (to ~6.3%) can save $50–100/month on a $300K loan.

🕓 When Should You Buy?

Experts say summer (June–August) offers the most inventory—30–35% more listings than winter. But higher activity also means faster sales, with average market time dropping to about 45 days.

So if you're ready, June is prime real estate season—just be prepared to act fast.

🔍 Should You Buy Now?

Absolutely—if you:

• Want more options & negotiation power

• Are ready for a 6%+ mortgage, or confident that rates will ease

• Value a stable market over bidding wars

Consider holding off if you:

• Can wait for potential rate relief in fall

• Prefer a less active market (e.g., winter’s slower pace)
