This Week in San Antonio
Fall Weather Arrives — But Won't Stick Around Long
San Antonio saw a genuine cool snap this past weekend, with temperatures dipping into the upper 40s to low 50s Sunday morning. The relief is short-lived: a warming trend has temperatures climbing back to the low 80s by Tuesday and into the upper 80s by Thursday and Friday. A slight chance of showers — around 20% — returns the following weekend, October 24–25.

Real Estate Market
San Antonio's housing market has shifted meaningfully over the past year. As of mid-2026, the median sale price sits at $265,000 — down 3.3% year over year — with homes averaging 64 days on market and inventory holding at more than 5,100 active listings. Only about 17% of closings are landing above asking price. By most measures, this is a buyer's market, and it has been moving in that direction for several months. That's a notable contrast to where the market stood two and three years ago.
For buyers, the current environment offers something that was largely absent during the 2021–2023 run-up: time and leverage. More inventory, longer days on market, and softening prices mean there's less pressure to waive contingencies or chase listings. At the luxury end — where LTL operates — dynamics can differ by neighborhood and price tier, but the broader directional pressure on pricing applies across the metro. Sellers who priced aggressively in 2024 are adjusting. That's an honest reality of where the market is right now.
One segment worth watching: multifamily. Apartment construction starts in San Antonio have fallen sharply in 2026 — down approximately 95% from recent highs — while absorption continues to outpace deliveries. That supply contraction doesn't affect the for-sale market directly, but it does put a floor under rental demand and can gradually push some renters toward ownership. For anyone tracking the long-term investment case for San Antonio residential real estate, the apartment supply picture is a meaningful data point. The for-sale market may be soft today, but the structural demand story hasn't changed.
