As we close the second quarter of 2026, the San Antonio housing market continues to offer opportunities for buyers while requiring sellers to approach the market with a thoughtful strategy. Inventory remains elevated, buyers have more negotiating power than they’ve had in several years, and builder incentives continue to shape purchasing decisions across the region.
With more than 17,500 active homes on the market—including both new construction and resale properties—buyers have more choices and more time to make informed decisions. At the same time, sellers are navigating longer average days on market and increased competition, making pricing, presentation, and marketing more important than ever.
Despite these shifts, the San Antonio market remains stable. Home values have held relatively steady, averaging $381,816 through the second quarter, while today’s buyer-friendly conditions continue to create opportunities for first-time buyers, move-up buyers, military families, and investors alike.
