The Southtown housing market took a sharp turn in September 2025, marked by notable declines in both sales prices and market pace. The median sale price dropped significantly to $480,000—down from $715,000 in August—yet still stood $170,000 higher than the median across all of San Antonio. Similarly, the average sale price fell to $500,800, down from $730,000 the previous month, representing a second consecutive month of price declines.
Inventory remains high relative to demand. While the number of homes for sale dipped slightly from 53 in August to 46 in September, Southtown continues to experience an elevated housing supply. September's 10.4 months of inventory, though down from 13.8 in August, still far exceeds the citywide average of 5.7 months.
Days on market tell a more dramatic story. Homes took a median of 262 days to sell in September—up from 118 days in August—indicating buyer hesitation and sluggish movement in this high-end micro-market.
Yet despite slower movement, sellers appeared to concede less at the negotiating table. The median percentage of last list price received was 98.1% in September, up from 92.3% in August. It's worth noting that this figure doesn’t reflect initial list prices—many homes are repriced before finding a buyer.
Interestingly, the total dollar volume increased to $2.5 million, compared to $2.19 million in August, even with only five homes reported closing in September. Price per square foot held steady at $312, maintaining Southtown’s reputation as one of San Antonio’s most valuable districts.
This update is based on a one-month snapshot, unlike the broader three-month view used in August’s report. Still, the trend is clear—buyers are taking their time, and sellers may need to adjust their strategy heading into fall.
