San Antonio Housing Market Mid-Year Review: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know (Jan–June 2025)

If you're wondering whether now is the right time to buy or sell a home in San Antonio, the first half of 2025 has made one thing clear, we’re in the middle of a market shift. Prices are still climbing, but homes are sitting longer. Inventory is rising, and so is buyer opportunity. Let's break down exactly what's happening and what it means for you.

🔍 What This Means for Home Sellers in San Antonio

If you're thinking of selling your home in San Antonio, this market still presents opportunity—but strategy is everything.

Here’s what sellers should keep in mind:

• 💰 You still have pricing power, but overpricing will cost you in showings and time on market.
• 🧹 Homes need to be well-staged and move-in ready to stand out.
• 🏷️ Buyers are negotiating again. Expect offers below asking and requests for concessions.
• 📆 Prepare for a longer timeline. The average home now takes 75 days to sell.

Pro tip: Offering buyer incentives (like rate buy-downs or closing costs) can help your home compete—especially against new builds.
