ZIP 78006 (Boerne, TX) Housing Market Update: More Inventory, Longer Timelines

ZIP 78006 covers the Boerne, Texas area, and the latest portal data points to a slower, more negotiable market than many locals remember from the peak.

Top takeaways

More selection: active inventory is elevated on the major portals, which generally gives buyers more leverage.
Slower pace: homes are taking longer to sell, so sellers are competing harder on condition, pricing, and incentives.
Rent check: rents look steady overall, with a meaningful number of rental options advertised for the ZIP.

Market snapshot (latest available portal data)

Redfin’s ZIP 78006 dashboard (Dec 2025) shows a median sale price of $562,700 (up 4.3% year over year) and a median 112 days on market. It also reports 236 homes sold in the period, slightly fewer than a year earlier.

On Realtor.com’s ZIP 78006 market overview (Dec 2025), the median home price is $679,900, with 891 active listings, 99 average days on market, and a median rent of $2,300 (with 74 rental properties tracked). Realtor.com also flags the area as a buyer’s market for that reporting month and shows a 98% sale-to-list ratio (homes selling a bit below asking on average).

Why the spread between sources? Portals often use different datasets (sold vs listed homes, MLS coverage, and timing). The consistent signal to watch is more choice plus longer marketing time, which typically increases negotiating room on price, repairs, and closing costs.

What’s for sale nearby (no address details)

A quick scan of current active listings in 78006 shows three common buckets:
