🏠 What This Means for Home Sellers
San Antonio’s real estate landscape has shifted from the frenetic pace of 2021–2023 to a more predictable, data-driven environment. With 16,579 active listings (up 13%), sellers now face more competition, but they also benefit from a pool of motivated buyers still eager to purchase before year-end.
-
The average sale-to-list ratio is 92.1%, meaning well-priced homes are getting offers close to asking.
-
Average days on market (78) suggest pricing and presentation matter more than ever.

Staging, professional photography, and curb appeal are critical in this balanced environment.
💡 Pro Tip: Homes priced under $500K, especially move-in-ready ones near top schools or military bases, are still seeing multiple offers.
If you’re thinking about selling before the holidays, now’s an ideal time. Inventory typically dips in November and December, which means less competition and more motivated buyers.
