Spring has arrived in South Texas and the San Antonio market area. If you’re wondering how the market trends have been, let’s take a look at the month of February 2019. The median price for homes was up 8.3 percent from last year at a price of $195,000. The number of closed sales in February was 984, which was a 3.0 percent increase from the previous year. Days on the market was 56 days on an average, and the months of inventory was down to 2.9 months.
Consequently, it’s still very much a seller’s market for the most part in and around the city. If you’re thinking about or planning to sell, Now is a great time to Find Out How Much Your Home is Worth, and get it on the market in time for the summer rush, since school will be out before you know it within the next two months.
Here is the price distribution for single family homes ending the month of February 2019. Homes priced at $200,000 or less made up 52.3 percent of sold homes, 43.9 percent accounted for those homes in the $200,000 to $500,000 price range, while the remaining 3.8 percent accounted for those homes over $500, 000 to a million plus.
The active listings at the end of February were 3,448, which was a 12.4 percent increase over last year. It still takes an average of 31 days to close most transactions that require financing, but cash transactions are always faster.
