Will 2025 Be a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market?

As we dive into 2025, one of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind is: Will this year favor buyers or sellers? The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all—but there are clear signs in today’s San Antonio market that can help guide your next move.

Whether you're thinking about buying your first home or selling your current one, here's what to expect in 2025.

📈 Market Snapshot for 2025

The San Antonio real estate market is stabilizing. After the rapid price increases and rising interest rates of the last few years, things are starting to level out. We're seeing:

• More inventory hitting the market

• Interest rates starting to hold steady

• Buyer activity picking back up

• Price growth slowing but staying positive

All of this points to a market that is balancing—not overly favoring buyers or sellers.

🏠 What This Means for Buyers

Good news: If you've been holding off due to high rates or low inventory, 2025 might be your year. More homes are available, and prices aren't rising as quickly. Plus, sellers are becoming more open to negotiations and incentives.

Buyer Advantages in 2025:

• More choices

• Less bidding wars

• Potential for seller-paid closing costs or rate buydowns

💰 What This Means for Sellers

While it may not be the red-hot market of 2021, sellers in San Antonio still hold a strong position—especially in desirable neighborhoods like Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and Woodlawn Lake. Well-priced homes that show well are still moving quickly.

Seller Advantages in 2025:

• Strong buyer interest

• Equity gains from the last few years

• Demand for renovated and move-in ready homes

🧭 So… Buyer’s Market or Seller’s Market?

Right now, San Antonio is shaping up to be a neutral to mildly seller-leaning market—but this could shift as the year progresses. If rates drop or inventory grows faster than expected, buyers could gain the upper hand. Timing, location, and your personal situation are key.
