San Antonio Real Estate Market Update โ Spring 2026
May 1, 2026 ยท 4 min read ยท By May Reed
Spring 2026 is shaping up to be an active season in San Antonio real estate. Here's what I'm seeing on the ground โ and what it means for buyers and sellers right now.
Inventory Is Up โ Buyers Have More Options
Compared to the tight market of 2022โ2023, inventory has increased meaningfully. Buyers are no longer competing with 10+ offers on every home. You have time to be thoughtful, negotiate, and get inspections done properly.
Prices Have Stabilized in the $200Kโ$400K Range
The San Antonio metro continues to offer strong value compared to Austin and Dallas. The $200Kโ$400K range โ where most first-time buyers and military families shop โ has stabilized after the run-up of previous years. Well-priced homes are still moving in 30โ45 days.
Interest Rates: What to Expect
Rates have come down from their 2023 peaks but remain above the historic lows of 2020โ2021. The good news: VA loan rates remain competitive, and there are still down payment assistance programs available for first-time buyers. If you're waiting for rates to drop further, you may be waiting a long time โ and missing out on equity growth in the meantime.
For Sellers: Price It Right From Day One
Overpriced homes are sitting. Buyers are savvy and have more options. The homes that sell quickly are priced competitively, show well, and are marketed aggressively. If you're thinking about selling, let's talk about a pricing strategy that works in today's market.
