Homes for sale in Sandy Oaks, TX

Buying a house in and around Sandy Oaks

Sandy Oaks is a small city in far south Bexar County, about 17 miles from downtown San Antonio. Homes around it are often listed under other mailing cities, so the numbers here count everything within about four miles of the town center. That gives buyers a real selection, about 95 homes right now, at prices well under most of the San Antonio area.

Nearly every listing is in South Side ISD, with a handful in Pleasanton ISD. Most addresses carry the 78264 ZIP, about a third use 78112, and two are in 78221.

Price ranges by home size

The median asking price in and around Sandy Oaks is about $260,000, and the middle half spans roughly $200,000 to $382,000. By bedroom count, two-bedroom homes have a median close to $182,000, three bedrooms about $230,000, and four or more about $357,000. The typical home has about 1,680 square feet.

Site-built and manufactured homes on bigger lots

This is a mixed market. About 58 listings are site-built single-family houses and about 34 are manufactured homes, with a few modular and other types. The median lot is about 0.9 acre, and roughly 45% of homes sit on an acre or more.

If you are looking at a manufactured home, confirm early that it is titled as real property and set on a foundation your lender accepts. With any rural lot, check the well or water provider, the septic system, the survey and whether part of the land is in a floodplain.

Subdivisions that come up most

Waterwood has the most listings by a wide margin, about 25. Hickory Hollow and Jordans Ranch each have around eight, followed by Woodridge Park, Lonesome Dove, Oak Hills Ranch Estates and Ruby Crossing. Each one has its own lot sizes and deed restrictions, so read them before you fall for a property.

How to approach an offer

The median listing has been up about 72 days, about 12% have reduced their price, and only around 5% are new this week. That leaves room to negotiate, especially on homes that have sat.
