The San Antonio real estate market saw a slight dip in home sales and pricing during April, even as inventory levels continued to rise, according to the latest Multiple Listing Service (MLS) Report from the San Antonio Board of REALTORS® (SABOR). A total of 3,029 homes were sold in April, reflecting a modest 1% year-over-year (YoY) decrease.


Both the median and average home prices declined last month, suggesting a shift in buyer behavior and greater affordability in the market. The median home price dropped to $304,000 (–3% YoY), while the average price fell to $365,738 (–2% YoY).


At the same time, inventory gains continued to offer buyers more choices. New listings increased by 6% YoY to 5,114, while active listings climbed 19% YoY to 15,178. Pending sales, however, declined 13% YoY to 2,797, signaling ongoing buyer caution amid broader market shifts.


“April’s numbers show a softening in prices but a strong increase in available homes,” said Reagan Williamson, SABOR’s 2025 Chair of the Board. “This means buyers have greater negotiating power, while sellers need to be more strategic about pricing and presentation to stand out.”
