San Antonio Real Estate Market Update – March 2026
The March 2026 housing data shows a San Antonio market with more inventory, longer selling timelines, and stable pricing. Here is what buyers, sellers, and homeowners need to know right now.
The latest March 2026 reports show the San Antonio real estate market continuing to move toward a more balanced environment. Buyers have more choices. Sellers are facing more competition. And success in this market depends more than ever on strategy, pricing, and presentation.
Whether you are preparing to buy, sell, invest, or simply track your home’s value, these local market numbers can help you better understand where the market stands today.
March 2026 Key Market Numbers
Inventory Is Rising Across San Antonio
Inventory continues to build. San Antonio had 15,900 active listings in March 2026, which was up 9% from a year ago. New listings also climbed to 5,535, up 11% year over year. At the same time, pending listings dropped to 2,956, down 11%.
That combination creates a different market dynamic than what we saw in recent years. Buyers have more options to choose from and more room to negotiate. Sellers still have opportunity, but they now need a stronger game plan to stand out from the competition.
Homes Are Taking Longer to Sell
The average days on market reached 99 days in March, up 13% from the same time last year. This shows that many homes are taking longer to attract the right buyer and move through the market. In this kind of environment, pricing a home correctly from day one matters. Condition matters. Marketing matters. First impressions matter.
Prices Are Stabilizing
Despite more inventory and longer market times, pricing has remained fairly stable. The average sales price was $373,839, essentially flat year over year, while the median sales price rose to $316,850, up 1%.
This does not suggest a collapsing market. Instead, it points to a market that is normalizing and adjusting into a healthier balance between buyers and sellers.
Existing Homes Are Seeing Stronger Activity
Existing single-family home sales were up 28% year over year, while new construction single-family sales were down 16%. That tells us many buyers are finding value in existing homes, especially when they can compare price, lot size, location, mature neighborhoods, and upgrades already in place.
The Mid-Range Market Still Dominates
The largest share of market activity remains in the $200,000 to $499,999 range, accounting for 68.30% of all sales in March. That continues to be the strongest and most active segment of the San Antonio market.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers may have more leverage today than they have had in quite some time. More inventory and longer time on market can create negotiating opportunities for closing costs, repairs, interest rate buy-downs, or seller concessions.
What This Means for Sellers
Sellers can absolutely still succeed in this market, but success now requires stronger pricing discipline, cleaner presentation, better marketing, and a realistic selling timeline. Strategy wins in a balanced market.
Final Thoughts
March 2026 confirms that the San Antonio real estate market is no longer running at the same pace it did during the hottest years of the market. It is becoming more balanced, more strategic, and more dependent on smart decision-making.

"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!"
