There were 13,545 homes for sale across San Antonio and the surrounding towns at the end of September, by our count of every listing on the San Antonio MLS. That is a lot of choice, and it shapes almost everything about buying or selling here this fall.
The headline numbers
- Median asking price: $320,000
- Median price per square foot: $168
- Median time listed so far: 66 days
The 66 days is the number to pay attention to. It is how long the homes on the market today have been listed, so it skews toward the ones that have not sold. But it is long. Half of everything for sale has been waiting more than two months, and that changes the conversation between buyer and seller.
What each size costs
Single-family homes make up almost all of it: 12,322 of the 13,545. By bedrooms, the median asking price is:
- 2 bedrooms: $189,000 (about 1,125 sq ft)
- 3 bedrooms: $272,950 (about 1,624 sq ft)
- 4 bedrooms: $378,200 (about 2,348 sq ft)
- 5 or more: $479,218 (about 3,050 sq ft)
The jump from three bedrooms to four is about $105,000 at the median, and it buys roughly 700 more square feet. For many families, that step is the real decision in this market.
Prices by town
San Antonio itself has 9,050 of the listings, at a median of $299,900, and a median of $257,990 for a three-bedroom. The towns around it spread out widely:
- Schertz: 400 listed, median $375,000
- Cibolo: 321 listed, median $365,000
- New Braunfels: 173 listed, median $279,000
- Boerne: 177 listed, median $442,900
- Canyon Lake: 415 listed, median $449,900
- Spring Branch: 299 listed, median $479,900
- Floresville: 191 listed, median $389,990
- Castroville: 177 listed, median $576,215
- La Vernia: 148 listed, median $568,450
The highest medians, in Castroville, La Vernia and Spring Branch, reflect land as much as houses: acreage and larger lots push those numbers up. Schertz and Cibolo sit well above the city median for a different reason: much of what is for sale there is recent construction.
Time on the market varies by town too. Homes in La Vernia (48 days) and Cibolo (53 days) are moving faster than the region as a whole; Castroville (87 days) and Pleasanton (95 days) are slower.
If you are buying
This is a market with room to negotiate, especially on homes that have been listed a while.
- Read the days on market. A home listed for 90 days has a seller who has had time to think about price. Ask what they would take.
- Ask for concessions, not only a lower price. Closing costs, a rate buydown or repairs can be worth more to you than a small price cut, particularly with mortgage rates where they are.
- Look at new construction too. Builders around San Antonio are competing for the same buyers, and many offer rate and closing-cost incentives that a resale seller cannot match. Our new home communities list is a good place to compare.
If you are selling
Sixty-six days at the median means the homes that sell are the ones that stand out. Price close to what the house will actually appraise for, fix what an inspector will find before the inspector finds it, and get it photographed well. The first two weeks on the market bring the most attention a listing will ever get. Price it right then rather than chasing the market down later.
Not sure what yours is worth? Start with a home valuation. And if the numbers suggest keeping it as a rental instead, our rent-or-sell comparison puts rents and prices side by side, town by town.
