Buyers Stay Active in 78209 During the First Half of Summer

 

San Antonio’s 78209 housing market continues to show remarkable stability with signs of resilience heading into the summer of 2025. Covering April through June, the data reveals consistent pricing trends, solid buyer demand, and a steady flow of closed transactions.

 

Pricing Trends Hold Steady with Modest Gains

 

The average sales price rose month-over-month from April’s $673,704 to $702,699 in June—marking a nearly 4.3% increase over the quarter. The median price also edged up from $540,000 in April to $550,000 in June, reflecting a market that remains attractive without overheating.

 

     April Median Price: $540,000

     May Median Price: $542,200

     June Median Price: $550,000

 

These moderate gains suggest that while buyers remain price-conscious, desirable homes—especially in centrally located and highly rated school zones—are still commanding competitive offers.

 

Sales Volume & Activity Stay Strong

 

Closed sales remained remarkably consistent throughout the quarter, with a slight bump in June.

 

     June Closed Sales: 328

     May Closed Sales: 317

     April Closed Sales: 325

 

The total dollar volume of sales also saw growth, climbing from $218.9 million in April to $230.5 million in June. This reflects both an increase in higher-value sales and stable transaction volume.

 

Market Efficiency: Homes Are Moving at a Steady Pace

 

The median days on market (DOM) held firm at 50–51 days across all three months, indicating a balanced pace between eager buyers and cautious sellers.

 

     April DOM: 50

     May DOM: 51

     June DOM: 50

 

This consistency suggests sellers are pricing realistically, and well-prepared homes continue to attract attention quickly.

 

Inventory Levels Reflect a Balanced Market

 

Housing supply remained stable throughout the quarter at roughly 5.5 to 5.6 months of inventory—hovering close to what many consider a “neutral market.”

 

     April Supply: 5.5 months

     May Supply: 5.6 months

   •  June Supply: 5.6 months

 

This means buyers have more choices than in past years but still need to act decisively when the right home hits the market.

 

Buyers Still Making Competitive Offers

 

The average percentage of list price received ranged from 97.1% in April to 97.3% in May, dipping slightly to 97% in June. This suggests that most buyers are still paying close to asking—particularly for homes that are priced correctly and in desirable condition.

 

Key Takeaways

 

Prices are inching up, not skyrocketing, indicating a healthy market with room for negotiation.

 

Sales activity remains steady, driven by consistent demand and quality inventory.

 

Homes continue to sell in under two months, a sign that buyer interest remains strong.

 

Inventory is healthy, giving buyers more time to consider options while still providing value for sellers.
