San Antonio, TX Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around San Antonio, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what San Antonio sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of August 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 6,272
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $265,147
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $158
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $200,000 and $375,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 6,272 closed sales in San Antonio over the last six months, with a median closing price of $265,147. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $200,000 and $375,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. The large tracked sample provides substantial market-level evidence. 92% of the San Antonio closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 6,260 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $131 and $190 per square foot.

The San Antonio angle

San Antonio hands a pricing exercise both things it needs. Across 6,272 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $265,147, and the middle half of sales closed between $200,000 and $375,000. Because the band is unremarkable, that median carries real predictive weight, and the question worth spending your time on becomes whether your subject is typical for the city rather than how much uncertainty surrounds the citywide figure. With this much closed volume behind you, filters are cheap: match on the attributes you actually care about and let the comp count take the hit.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
