SAN ANTONIO HOUSING MARKET FOR MARCH 2026: SALES INCREASE AS MARKET REMAINS BALANCED

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

In March, 3,100 homes were sold, representing a 10% year-over-year (YoY) increase, signaling continued demand across the market. Pricing remained stable, with the average home price was $373,839, reflecting a 1.3% YoY decrease, while the median price remained relatively flat at $316,850, up 0.4% YoY. The price per square foot was $172, reflecting a 2% YoY decrease, indicating some adjustment in pricing at the property level.

Inventory levels continued to expand, providing buyers with more options. Months of inventory reached 5.76, while homes spent an average of 99 days on the market, a 13% YoY increase, allowing for more deliberate purchasing decisions. At the same time, 92.8% of homes sold close to their original list price, reflecting continued pricing discipline among sellers.

Listing activity showed mixed movement during the month. New listings totaled 5,535, an 11% YoY increase, while active listings rose 9% to 15,900, contributing to growing inventory. Pending listings measured 2,956, an 11% YoY decrease, reflecting some moderation in buyer activity. Rental demand remained steady, with 4,362 active residential rental listings, a 9% YoY increase, and an average residential rental price of $1,801.

“Overall, the San Antonio market continues to show balance, with steady pricing and increased sales activity creating opportunities on both sides of the transaction,” said Ed Zapata, SABOR’s 2026 Chair of the Board. “As inventory grows, REALTORS® are essential in helping buyers and sellers navigate a more dynamic and competitive landscape.”

New Construction vs. Existing Home Trends

In March, both new construction and existing homes continued to reflect balanced market conditions as buyers navigated a wider selection of available properties. Existing homes continued to account for the majority of sales activity, while builders remained responsive to buyer demand through pricing strategies and incentives. These dynamics highlight how different segments of the market are adapting to evolving affordability considerations and inventory levels.
