The Southtown real estate market showed signs of stabilization in October 2025 after months of fluctuating activity. While prices dipped slightly month over month, several encouraging indicators point to a more balanced market heading into the year’s end.
Median Sale Price Holds Strong Above Citywide Average
Southtown’s median home sale price for October 2025 settled at $469,000—a modest dip from September’s $480,000. However, this figure still stands $170,000 higher than the median price across the broader San Antonio market, reinforcing Southtown’s premium position. Compared to the same time last year, the October 2024 median of $397,500 represents a significant year-over-year increase, highlighting continued value growth in this desirable urban district.
Faster Sales and More Inventory
Homes in Southtown sold faster in October, with the median days on market dropping dramatically to 80 days—down from 205 days in September and 104 in August. This sharp reduction suggests stronger buyer interest and improved pricing strategy. Inventory also saw a slight bump, with 70 homes for sale in October compared to 64 the previous month and 68 in August.
Supply Levels Still Elevated, But Down Year-Over-Year
Housing supply rose slightly to 11.5 months in October 2025, up from 10.5 months in September. While still well above a balanced 6-month supply, this is a marked improvement from October 2024’s peak of 18.1 months—then the highest level in two years.
Sales Volume Remains Low But Consistent
Southtown recorded five closed home sales in October 2025, compared to six in September and four in August. While transaction volume remains limited, it reflects a consistent pattern over recent months.
Square Foot Pricing Trends
The October 2025 median price per square foot was $290—a four-month slide from the $364 high in July. However, the average price per square foot held steady at $326, signaling that pricing softness may be leveling off.
Seller Price Adjustments Impact Final Negotiations
The percentage of final sales price relative to the last list price fell notably to 91.2% in October, down from 98.1% in September. This metric reflects sellers’ willingness to negotiate after prior price reductions, a common practice in slower-moving markets.
