The San Antonio housing market continued its trend of balancing out in October 2025, with sales activity slowing modestly while home prices remained steady and resilient. According to the latest MLS data from the San Antonio Board of REALTORS® (SABOR), the market is moving away from the frenzy of recent years and settling into a healthier, more sustainable rhythm, good news for buyers and sellers looking for stability.

With increased inventory, steady pricing, and strong buyer interest, especially among veterans, active-duty military families, and luxury buyers, San Antonio continues to position itself as one of the most affordable and opportunity-rich housing markets in Texas.

Why San Antonio Stands Out for Veterans and Military Families

San Antonio continues to attract veterans, active-duty military, and PCS families due to:

• Affordability: Lower prices than Austin, Dallas, and other major Texas metros

• Strong Demand: Ongoing population growth and steady demand from Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA)

• VA Loan Opportunities: Favorable conditions for VA buyers, with more homes available and fewer bidding wars

• Stable Appreciation: Long-term value growth, even in a balanced market

If you’re a veteran or military family looking for a top San Antonio veteran real estate agent, now is an ideal time to explore your options.

Inventory Growth: More Homes, More Choices

San Antonio’s inventory is expanding, giving buyers more flexibility and sellers more serious buyers. With 16,823 active listings (up 16% YoY), buyers can:

• Find more homes in their price range

• Negotiate with confidence

• Avoid bidding wars

• Secure strong value, especially in the $200K–$499K range

Sellers benefit from stable home values and predictable pricing trends, making it easier to plan and market their property effectively.

Price Distribution: Where San Antonio Buyers Are Focused

• 15.14% — Under $199,000

• 65.59% — $200,000 – $499,999

• 12.63% — $500,000 – $749,999

• 6.64% — $750,000 – $1M+

The $200K–$499K range is the “sweet spot” for value, especially for first-time buyers, VA loan users, and military families relocating to the area.

Rental Market: Strong Activity, More Availability

• Active Rental Listings: 5,359 (↑19% YoY)

• Average Rent: $1,771

San Antonio’s rental market remains stable and affordable, making it a great option for incoming service members, short-term relocators, and families waiting for the right time to buy.

What This Means for Buyers (Especially VA Buyers)

• More inventory means more choices and less competition

• Stable pricing ensures strong value and long-term appreciation

• Fewer bidding wars give buyers more leverage

• Sellers are more open to concessions

• VA buyers are winning offers due to strong loan approval confidence

If you’re a veteran or active-duty military member, San Antonio offers the best homebuying environment of any major Texas metro.

What This Means for Sellers

• Correct pricing is key in a balanced market

• High-quality marketing (photos, video, AI-driven exposure) helps your home stand out

• Strong listing presentation attracts serious buyers

• Well-priced homes near JBSA sell quickly and competitively

Sellers who work with a top San Antonio veteran real estate agent can maximize their results in this market.

Neighborhoods to Watch in Late 2025

These areas continue to produce consistent demand and long-term appreciation.
