The median listing price is now $174,000 up 7% from last year. The most recent average sales price is $216,940 up 10%from last year. Year to date, the average sales price is up 6%.

Year to date, San Antonio has seen 5305 foreclosure postings compared to 8398 in 2012 versus 9095 in 2011.

News For San Antonio Home Buying And Selling
- Home contracts across the U.S. ticked up slightly in April to the highest level in 3 years. The national trend is mirrored by a double digit increase in May San Antonio homes sales over May 2012.
- Mortgage rates edged up slightly this past week…30 yr at 3.81% and 15 yr at 2.98%. The increase in mortgage rates seems unlikely to cool San Antonio's hot realty market.
- Nationally, foreclosures have plunged to a 5-year low, with the first quarter down 23% from last year. San Antonio area foreclosures have also decreased dramatically.
- Eagle Ford Shale oil output is up 77% over last year. It has now topped over 500,000 barrels a day. The State produced 2.3 million barrels a day in February. Oil field production in the Eagle Ford shale counties south and east of San Antonio has caused an influx of oil industry relocations to San Antonio area and is a contributor to this year's shortage of homes for sale.

May 2013 San Antonio Residential Realty Market Report
The sanantoniohomequest.com Realty Solutions has published its May 2013 San Antonio Realty Market Report.
You can read the full report at the SanAntonioHomeQuest.com homepage, but here are the highlights:
San Antonio's residential realty market has been in high gear for 9 successive months.
Compared to May 2012:
The inventory of homes for sale is down 12.94%.
The average list price is up 8.75%.
The average days on the market for listed homes is down 8.6%.
The number of homes under contract is up 12.55%.
For the most recent homes sold:
Average sales price is up 5%
Average days on the market is down 17.52%.
There's only a 5.3 months supply of homes for sale. That means it's a strong sellers' market.
Demand for homes is exceptionally strong this year because of low mortgage rates, highly favorable local business and demographic conditions, and the availability of money and manpower brought into the area by the nearby Eagle Ford Shale oil play.
The news is obviously good for local home sellers, however the market remains favorable for buyers because San Antonio area homes are still highly affordable, particularly given the current low home mortgage interest rates.

San Antonio Homes For Sale Are Going Fast
As of February 2013, the San Antonio area realty market is blooming and the good news seems never ending - especially for San Antonio home sellers.
Here's the story.
The San Antonio Board of Realtors® has just released its February 2013 residential sales report. It shows homes for sale in San Antonio are moving at an increasing pace, with prices rising, and more expensive homes finally breaking loose from months of lackluster sales.
This February, home on the San Antonio market averaged only 99 days. That's 4 percent less than in February 2012.
Focusing on the declining market time, Steven Gragg, 2013 SABOR Chairman of the Board, said, "Low days on the market indicate consumers are finding homes more quickly, and we are tilting more towards a seller’s market.”
The February report includes additional evidence that, this year, San Antonio's residential market is exceptionally robust for so early in the selling season.
A total of 1,379 homes were sold this February, compared to 1,278 sales in February 2012, and 1,079 sales in February 2011.
Home prices are also up significantly. This February's report shows the average home price is $194,000, last year it was $186,397, and in February 2011 it was only $179,035.
The report shows much greater interest in higher priced listings. Homes priced $500,000 or more are selling faster and contributed to 4.1% of the February closed sales. That's a much higher percentage than in preceding months.
Homes priced $200,000 to $500,000 made up 29.6 percent of the market. As is usual for the San Antonio MLS area, lower priced properties below $200,000 led the way for February sales, contributing 66.1 percent of the homes sold.
Angela Shields, SABOR President and Chief Executive Officer summed up the favorable market report by saying, "With spring and summer around the corner, we are getting ready to enter our busiest season. We are hopeful that market conditions will continue to be this favorable, allowing both buyers and sellers to be satisfied in their transactions.”

National And San Antonio Home Sales Are Looking Rosy
Nationally, the U.S. Commerce Department reports home sales have increased 15.6 % over last year. That's a current annual rate of 437,000 new homes and is the most active market since mid-2008. The Commerce Department report also indicates home buyers are opting for less expensive properties because the middle price of new homes fell 9 % in January, to $226,400.
Consumer confidence is also rising according to the Conference Board. The February 2013 consumer confidence index rose 69.6% - the highest level in three months. It demonstrates a dramatic reversal of January's downward trend reflecting consumer anxiety about higher payroll taxes and the fiscal deadlock in Washington.
In its latest press release, the San Antonio Board of Realtors (SABOR) reports a staggering rise in the San multiple listing service (MLS) residential market as the 1,249 homes sold in January represents a 24 percent increase over January 2012.
Also, both the average and median home prices were up significantly - 4% and 3% respectively.
Quoting from the SABOR report -
"Locally, the average sales price for January 2013 for single-family residential homes was $183,846
while the month’s median price was $149,000.
Breakdowns in prices show 70.3 percent of homes sold in the low-range ($199,000 and below), 26.66 percent in the mid-range ($200,000 - $499,000) and 2.96 percent in the high range ($500,000 and up)."
According to Steven Gragg, 2013 SABOR Chairman of the Board, "This continual growth demonstrates not only the steadiness of the market but also indicates an increase in consumer confidence."
A major contribution to the vitality of both the national and local realty markets are low residential mortgage rates. According to a report from the National Association of REALTORS®, "fixed-rate mortgages across the nation have remained steady or inched lower in recent months. Such reductions in rates have led to an increase in applications and subsequent home sales."
Another contributing factor is San Antonio's strong economy and the area's long history of stable home values. According to Angela Shields, SABOR President and CEO, “Home prices in our area remain affordable, but are not so low that sellers lose equity in their home.While other cities struggle to find a balance in price levels, San Antonio offers a market that has something for everyone.”

Homes For Sale Near San Antonio Military Bases
Are you looking to buy a home near Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph AFB, Brooks City Base, or Joint Base Fort Sam Houston (Ft. Sam).
■ Every San Antonio military base has reasonably priced neighborhoods relatively close by.
■ Many of the close-by older neighborhoods aren’t regulated by homeowners associations and, therefore, are poorly maintained. So, look carefully where you buy. Your real estate agent should advise you about neighborhood quality issues.
■ School districts and neighborhood school ranking are always a matter of home buyer concern, even for those who don’t have a school aged child. Homes serviced by quality schools generally maintain higher value over time, so always keep school issues in mind.
■ San Antonio is the nation’s 7th largest city. Area homeowners can’t escape this simple fact - San Antonio has road congestion problems and area commuters are suffering increasingly long commute times. So, ask your real estate agent for a frank evaluation of how long it should take for you to commute to work from any listing that looks promising.
■ Never, ever, buy a home just because it’s reasonably priced. Ask your real estate agent for a documented analysis of home values in the neighborhood over time. If there’s clear evidence of home value depreciation, move on. You don’t want to be stuck down the road with a mortgage balance that’s higher than your property’s market value.
■ Ask your real estate agent to set up a direct Multiple Listing Service (MLS) search for you. You’ll get the newest listings matching your needs much quicker than looking from them even on the most popular Internet realty search venues.
■ The best listings sell the fastest. So, don’t rely on the Internet to tell you about them. Rely on your MLS search to quickly send you the best listings.

- Recently announced - a new company coming to town with plans to hire 700 employees. Stay tuned for more specifics.
- A local trucking company urgently needs drivers - 150 now and 50 later. Most of the drivers are needed to handle new oil and gas customers in the Eagle Ford shale oil fields south of town..
- Nationally, home prices rose by most in 6.5 years. U.S.home prices jumped by 8.3% in December spurred by a low supply of inventory and rising demand. Last year prices rose in 46 out of 50 states. Low homes for sale inventory is evident throughout the San Antonio Multiple Listing Service area. Effect on prices hasn't been too dramatic to date, however, unless inventory increases soon, the shortage of available homes will likely cause a dramatic increase in asking and sales prices.
