Home Sales Are Up in Five San Antonio Area ZIP Codes Even as Inventory Falls

I'm Scott C. Peck, Broker Associate and Business Development Director with JBGoodwin REALTORS. Here is the one thing worth knowing right now: more homes are selling, and fewer are available.

What do sales and inventory look like across these five ZIP codes?

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 784 homes sold across ZIP codes 78209, 78212, 78230, 78154, and 78108 in the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is up 4.5% from the same stretch a year ago. At the same time, homes for sale fell 4.6%.

Pending sales tell the same story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 835 pending sales across these ZIP codes, up 6.9% from a year ago. Buyers are still making moves, even with Realtor.com reporting that mortgage rates climbed back above 7% for the first time since January 2025.

Are prices moving the same way in every ZIP code?

No. Redfin reported that San Antonio home prices rose 0.9% month over month on a seasonally adjusted basis in August. In 78209, the Alamo Heights area, the median sale price reached $570,000, up 13.7% from a year ago. Other ZIP codes moved in a different direction.

How is each ZIP code performing?

78209 was the clear standout on price. Homes sold rose 10.3%, and pending sales jumped 17.4%. Sellers got an average of 96.8% of list price. It took a median of 57 days to sell, which is 5 days longer than last year. Not every home moved fast, but the direction is positive.

78230 had the fastest median pace of the five at 47 days on market. The Real Estate Data Aggregator also showed that 32.7% of homes there went under contract within two weeks of listing, the highest quick sale share across all five ZIP codes. The median sale price was down 8.3% from last year. Homes are moving, but sellers are pricing more carefully.

78154 had the strongest price discipline. Sellers there got 98.2% of list price on average, the highest of any ZIP code in this group. The median sale price was down 7.7%, but 199 homes sold, up 8.7%. Months of supply sat at 4 months, down 0.5 months from last year. That is a market with real activity.

78108 led the group in sales volume. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 258 homes sold there, up 5.3%. Pending sales rose 20.5%, the biggest jump of any ZIP code in this group. The median sale price held steady, unchanged from a year ago. Days on market stretched to 76, which is 16 days longer than last year. Buyers are active, but they are taking their time.

78212 showed the most mixed picture. The median sale price fell 12.1%. Days on market rose to 75, up 19 days from last year, and pending sales dropped 19%. On the other side, homes for sale fell 19.6%, and the share going under contract within two weeks rose 6 points to 19.1%. Inventory is thinning, and some buyers are still moving quickly.

How does the national picture compare?

The National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales fell 2.0% in August nationally, with 4.9 months of supply at the current sales pace. Two of these five ZIP codes are running tighter than that. 78154 sits at 4 months, and 78230 sits at 4.4 months.

Rates are worth watching. Redfin reported that 21% of U.S. home sellers dropped their asking price during the four weeks ending September 20. That kind of pressure can reach any market. Pricing well from the start matters more when rates are high.

The job picture gives buyers some reason to stay active. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that nonfarm payrolls added 29,000 jobs in September 2026, with the unemployment rate at 4.2%. The National Association of Realtors noted that 643,000 net new jobs have been added since the start of the year.

What does this mean for your street?

These numbers cover five ZIP codes and thousands of homes. One street in Alamo Heights can look very different from one in Cibolo. Local knowledge matters, and a ZIP code average is only a starting point. If you want to know what is happening on your block, just reach out.
