San Antonio's median single-family home price falls 3.6% in a year to $307,600, the steepest drop of the 16 Texas metros in NAR's third-quarter table - Austin $467,100, down 0.7%; Dallas-Fort Worth $374,400, down 0.5%; Houston $340,300, down 0.4%

San Antonio-New Braunfels's median sales price for an existing single-family home was $307,600 in the third quarter of 2026, down 3.6% from a year earlier, the National Association of Realtors' metro table shows. That is the largest annual fall of the 16 Texas metros in the table.

Five other Texas metros fell. Tyler's median was down 1.6% to $332,200, Austin-Round Rock's 0.7% to $467,100 and Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington's 0.5% to $374,400. Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land and Corpus Christi were each down 0.4%, to $340,300 and $285,300.

The other ten rose. Abilene's median climbed 24.3% to $316,400, Beaumont-Port Arthur's 9.9% to $243,300, Lubbock's 7.2% to $254,900 and Wichita Falls' 6.7% to $190,000. Beaumont-Port Arthur is fourth on NAR's list of the ten large markets with the biggest year-over-year increases.

Nationally, the median single-family existing-home price rose 1.7% to $432,900, and prices rose in 78% of metro areas, down from 80% in the second quarter, NAR says. 21% of markets saw prices fall, up from 20%. In the South, the region that includes Texas, the median rose 1.0% to $374,900.

The monthly mortgage payment on a typical existing single-family home with a 20% down payment was $2,251, up $69 from a year earlier, and families spent 24.1% of their income on it, down from 24.5% a year ago.

NAR's chief economist, Lawrence Yun, said "price declines in other markets may also be brief if the local job market and economy are solid".

NAR's own notes say a median "reflects the types of homes that are selling during the quarter and can be skewed at times by changes in the sales mix", and that for business purposes an agent's local association data "may be more relevant".
