San Antonio, TX

San Antonio sits at a median home value of $251,035 as of the latest Zillow read, down 2.4% year-over-year — a meaningful softening that’s putting deal flow back on the table for cash buyers.

The sale-to-list ratio of 0.981 signals a balanced market — neither bid wars nor fire sales dominate. 64.1% of closings land below list, leaving room to negotiate on the right deal but no broad discount across the board.

Rents tell a stronger story. The Zillow Observed Rent Index for San Antonio is $1,365/mo against a $251k median — that’s a 6.52% gross annual rent yield, well above the national 4-5% baseline. BRRRR and long-term rental strategies have real cushion here.

Median days-on-market is running around 42 days against 7,694.667 active listings. Pace is moderate — neither chaos nor stagnation. Standard wholesaling cadences work here.

MDR’s composite investor score for San Antonio is 81/100 based on rent yield, sale-to-list discount, motivated-seller proxies, and DOM. That puts it in our top tier — actively recommended for new capital deployment this cycle.
