🏠 What This Means for Sellers
Homes are taking longer to sell — 83 days on average — so pricing strategically and standing out with expert marketing is essential. While the median price has held steady, the close-to-list ratio of 92% means buyers are negotiating slightly more than they did last year.
If you’re thinking of selling in 2026, this winter may be the perfect time to prep: refresh your curb appeal, update your interior photos, and plan your listing strategy around early-spring buyer demand.
💸 What This Means for Buyers
With over 16,000 homes active and 6 months of inventory, buyers finally have breathing room. A small dip in price per square foot shows that the market is balancing out. Buyers using VA loans or first-time homebuyer programs can often negotiate seller concessions or rate buydowns that weren’t possible a year ago.
For anyone PCSing to JBSA or relocating to San Antonio, now is a smart time to explore options before competition heats up again in spring 2026.
📈 Rental Market Insight
Rental activity remains strong — average rent sits at $1,771 — with a 19% increase in active listings. This reflects growth in both property investors and tenants testing the market before buying.

"Words cannot express our gratitude and thankfulness that Keith provided us when buying our home. Being a military family and not being able to physically be there is beyond challenging buying a house unseen. He made this whole process so pleasant and easy, always easing our minds because he had our complete best interests in his hands. He took the time to send videos, pictures, and did several walk-through of the home to make us feel like we were there. You can easily tell Keith has years of experience , always answering questions and helping us every step of the way! He was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process of buying our home, and making sure that everything was taken care of promptly and correctly. He has been nothing but extremely responsive and excellent since the first phone call! Keith is incredibly knowledgeable, a go-getter, and super professional. We truly sat in passenger seat and let Keith do the driving. He went above and beyond to find the perfect home for us. There's not another realtor out there that could've provided us with the ease and comfort knowing we were making all the right decisions! Keith and Sheila have our highest recommendation, and we wouldn’t ever want to work with any other agent. We will refer our friends and family to Keith and Sheila Realty again and again!"
