San Antonio holds the line amidst a choppy housing market

San Antonio home prices were flat between July 2025 and July 2026 as Texas reacted to shifts in domestic migration and interest rates. A decline in both sales and listings reflects a market that is treading water after a lukewarm spring homebuying season.

San Antonio finally sees a decline in home sales in 2026

After consistent year-over-year increase in home sales throughout the first half of 2026, San Antonio finally saw a decline in July. Prospective homebuyers continue to move to San Antonio, but recent Census estimates show that migration to San Antonio has slowed. After adding more than 55,000 people per year between 2022 and 2024, population growth amounted to less than 40,000 last year.

San Antonio’s listings fall alongside home sales

At the same time, the number of homes on the market has decreased by 0.9% in San Antonio, mirroring a reduction in demand from homebuyers over the past 12 months. San Antonio had 9 months of supply on the market in July, down from 9.6 months of supply during the prior July. The median number of days on the market reached 69, the highest recorded in San Antonio since at least 2018. San Antonio’s listing trends fell in the middle of the pack of its Texas peers. Houston saw a 7.8% increase in the number of homes on the market over the past year, while Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin recorded reductions of 4.7% and 5.7%, well below San Antonio's.

San Antonio’s affordability gap with the nation grows

The major draw of Texas has long been its strong job market and relative affordability. Prices levels in the largest Texas markets saw very little growth and even fell in some markets. San Antonio saw no change in median home price compared to last year. Home prices in Austin increased by just 0.6%, and increased in Houston by 0.8%. Dallas-Fort Worth saw a 1.7% decline in median prices.
