A clear read on timing, pricing, and pace this month

If you are deciding whether to move now or hold back, I would pay close attention to how San Antonio, TX is actually trading. Last month, the market sat in a balanced position with 5.42 months of inventory, a median sold price of $299,000, and a typical sale taking 70 days, so timing matters.
A balanced market does not reward guesswork. In San Antonio, TX, the price you see and the pace you face both matter, because recent closings were still landing at 98.3% of asking while the typical sale timeline stretched to 70 days last month. For a buyer, that means I would stay disciplined on price and condition instead of chasing a property just because it looks available. For a seller, it means I would treat the first week of market exposure as critical and pay close attention to how the home is positioned against that $299,000 median sold price. Keep your target clear. Use the 70-day pace to set expectations. Watch how close offers are landing to asking.
