Market Momentum Continues: Why Late October Still Brings Strong Buyer Opportunity

As we move through the final weeks of October and into November, San Antonio’s real estate market continues to offer an ideal window of opportunity for well-prepared buyers. Inventory remains elevated, prices have stabilized below their summer peak, and motivated sellers are keeping negotiations active as the year winds down.

According to Axios San Antonio, home prices this fall have averaged about 5.4% below their seasonal highs, while available listings are up roughly 17.6%, creating one of the most balanced buying environments in years (Axios San Antonio, Oct. 10 2025). These conditions are expected to carry through late October and into early November—making right now a smart time for both buyers and sellers to act strategically.

 

According to the San Antonio Board of Realtors (SABOR), local housing supply has now surpassed six months of inventory, marking the most balanced market the region has seen in years. Homes are averaging about 74 days on market, allowing buyers more time to make confident, informed decisions without the pressure of bidding wars (SABOR Market Statistics, Oct 2025).

For luxury properties—those priced above $1 million—the shift toward balance means opportunity on both sides of the table. Buyers can be selective and negotiate favorable terms, while sellers who embrace data-driven pricing and high-caliber presentation are still seeing strong results.

 

While many assume the fall market slows dramatically, San Antonio often tells a different story. Historically, late October through early November brings a wave of serious buyers eager to secure a property before the holiday season. Sellers, meanwhile, are motivated to finalize deals before year-end, creating fertile ground for win-win negotiations.

Luxury buyers benefit most from this dynamic—more inventory, fewer competing offers, and sellers willing to discuss flexible terms. For sellers, it’s a chance to stand out with polished marketing, professional staging, and strategic pricing before attention shifts to the holiday season.
