SAN ANTONIO HOUSING MARKET FOR APRIL 2026: INVENTORY GROWTH CONTINUES AS MARKET MAINTAINS STABILITY

San Antonio, TX - The San Antonio housing market continued to reflect balanced conditions in April, with steady sales activity, stable pricing, and growing inventory creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers, according to the April 2026 Multiple Listing Service (MLS) report from the San Antonio Board of REALTORS® (SABOR).

In April, 3,135 homes were sold, representing a 2% year-over-year (YoY) increase, signaling continued buyer activity during the spring market season. Pricing remained stable overall, with the average home price rising to $369,963, a 2% YoY increase, while the median price held at $307,000, unchanged from the previous year. The price per square foot declined slightly to $171, reflecting a 2% YoY decrease and indicating continued normalization in pricing trends.

Inventory levels continued to expand, giving buyers more flexibility and negotiating power across the market. Months of inventory reached 6.09 months, while homes averaged 87 days on market, a 12% YoY increase, though improved from previous months. Meanwhile, 93.3% of homes sold close to their original list price, demonstrating continued pricing discipline among sellers.

Listing activity remained strong throughout the month. New listings totaled 5,713, an 11% YoY increase, while active listings climbed to 16,847, up 12% YoY, continuing to provide buyers with broad housing options across multiple price points. Pending listings reached 2,984, an 8% YoY decrease, reflecting a more measured pace of contract activity. The residential rental market also remained active, with 4,325 active residential rental listings, a 10% YoY increase, and an average residential rental price of $1,800.

“San Antonio’s housing market continues to show long-term stability as inventory levels improve and pricing remains steady,” said Ed Zapata, SABOR’s 2026 Chair of the Board. “Buyers are benefiting from increased options and more balanced conditions, while sellers continue to see healthy activity across many segments of the market. REALTORS® remain essential in helping consumers successfully navigate these evolving market dynamics.”
