New San Antonio Homes entering the market last week were 638 as we get into the second week of the year. We look for activity to pick up as things return to normal and interest rates settle down and continue to see a steady rise in price. Well cared for homes, priced right continue to go under contract quickly. People are still in the market for homes and will continue to buy when the right home comes along.
Next week we will have our first look at the 2022, year-end numbers. As many accept the national news stories of “poor housing” reports, San Antonio continues to run against the tide as our market remains solid. Wanted to again report the following numbers – the same we reported last week.
Here’s a preview of the information being withheld as it does not “flow” with the narrative:
| YTD Nov 2019 (Pre-Pandemic) |
YTD Nov 2022 | |
| Median Price | $240,000 | $330,000 |
| Active Listings | 98,700 | 90,606 |
| Closed Sales | 25,622 | 22,983 |
| Days on Market | 62 | 48 |
| Months of Inventory | 3.4 | 2.9 |
Remember that a “Balanced Market” is 6 months of inventory and although we may be approaching it, we certainly aren’t there yet. Homes are taking longer to sell, as we see the Days on Market increasing, however, they are still 14 days less than 2019. The point continues – they ARE selling. The most important thing you can do if you are looking to buy or sell in 2023, is work with someone who knows the numbers, has the confidence to get it done for their clients, has the support of their company to market your home, and if necessary, add additional marketing resources themselves.
Our own San Antonio Express News on January 4, 2023, said, “U-Haul says more people rented moving trucks to Texas than to any other state in 2022.” The article goes on to say that “It is the second consecutive year, Texas topped the rental moving truck company’s list. One-way moves to Texas increased by 1 percent from 2021, but departures from the state also rose about 1 percent from the previous year.”
One advantage our agents have at Coldwell Banker is access to other service providers. For example, did you know that we have a global moving company come to our weekly meetings about once per quarter? That’s value to you, our current and prospective clients, as we have the up-to-date statistics on what is happening across the country. Many of the moving vans headed to California are going out empty and will give you a discounted rate if you choose to move there! They are up charging their customers on moves out of California! What does that mean for our market? Every state has their pros and cons, and it appears our “pros” continue to outweigh the cons. Although housing prices have risen and inflation is at a 40 year high, San Antonio remains a great choice for relocation and retirement, both military and civilian, and we will continue to see families choose our state to call home.
So, the question is, “Do you want the “national and local news guy,” or do you want someone active in the business of San Antonio Real Estate who has a plan to help you WITHOUT SHORTCUTS?
We are experienced, solution, and value based real estate agents who can help those facing foreclosure. THERE ARE SOLUTIONS! THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS! We have solutions and would like to sit down and discuss the options. It’s what we do – let us “Guide You Home.”
The Numbers Month to Month and Year to Year
There have been 2,732 Properties Sold in the past 30 days, while pending sales over that same period are 1,863. Although sales have fallen below 3,000, and pending sales have fallen below 2,000, you can expect that during the holidays. On the other hand, families are together and may be having the discussions about moving and out attending Open Houses. That’s where it can start.
Ask us about RealVitalize, a program to help sellers make the repairs now and pay at closing! We refuse to take shortcuts. Professional HDR Photography remains “state of the art” and is used with every home we bring to the market. As one of our clients stated, “I can’t believe how my home looks with your photography. The pictures are amazing!”
With nearly 600 agents and over $1 Billion in yearly sales (yes, Billion), chances are we have buyers for your home within our grasp. We have processes in place to assist you in both the sale of your home and the purchase of your next home and our lender partners are ready and willing to have a discussion with you about what to expect. Talk to us about how we are getting our clients into their next home on time.
We are here to serve you. For helpful homeowner and real estate tips, please see our Blog.
