What’s happening in the San Antonio housing market this fall—and what does it mean for you?

As we transition into the final quarter of 2025, the San Antonio real estate market is showing clear signs of slowing compared to the past few years of intense activity. Homes are spending more time on the market, inventory is building, and buyer urgency has eased. But that doesn’t mean the market has stalled—it’s evolving. For sellers who price strategically and prep their homes properly, there’s still strong potential. And for buyers, this could be the most favorable window we’ve seen in years.

Whether you're buying, selling, or watching from the sidelines, here's what the latest data tells us about the San Antonio market—and how you can navigate it successfully.

What These Trends Mean

The Market Is Slowing—but It’s Not Stalled

Sales volume and pending activity are down, indicating buyers are taking a more cautious approach. But homes are still selling—and prices are holding steady, with slight year-over-year increases. What we’re seeing is a shift from a frenzied seller’s market to a more balanced, thoughtful market.

Buyers Have More Leverage and More Options

Inventory has climbed significantly, giving buyers more homes to choose from and more time to decide. For the first time in years, buyers can negotiate, avoid bidding wars, and take a more measured approach to home shopping.

Sellers Must Be Strategic

Homes that are move-in ready, well-marketed, and priced in line with local comps are still selling—often close to list price. But those that miss the mark on presentation or pricing risk sitting on the market longer and may require price reductions.

What to Watch This Fall

  • Mortgage Rates: Still a key affordability factor. A small drop could reignite buyer demand.
  • Inventory Trends: Will listings taper off for the holidays or continue to grow?
  • Price Reductions & Incentives: Increasing use of seller concessions could impact net pricing.
  • Neighborhood-Level Shifts: Some areas may hold stronger than others as buyers get more selective.
  • Seasonal Slowdown: Fall and early winter typically see lower activity—but also more motivated sellers.

Opportunity Exists on Both Sides

For buyers, this market offers rare breathing room. More homes. Less competition. Negotiation power. For sellers, the key is prep and pricing. The demand is still there—just not for every property at any price.
