ZIP 78232 Housing Market & Real Estate Update: steady inventory, buyers still negotiating (San Antonio, TX)

ZIP 78232 (San Antonio, Bexar County) is heading into late February with a steady-but-selective feel: pricing is holding roughly in the upper-$300Ks to low-$400Ks range, while buyers still have enough choice to negotiate on condition.

Top takeaways

Zillow’s latest ZIP snapshot (through Jan. 31, 2026) shows a typical value of $370,201 (down 1.1% year over year) and 132 homes in for-sale inventory.
Realtor.com’s ZIP dashboard (reporting period: Dec. 2025) pegs the median home price at $406,450 with 121 active listings and ~76 days on market.

Market snapshot (latest available)

Prices: Zillow’s modeled value trend and Realtor.com’s ZIP median don’t have to match exactly (different methods and time windows), but together they suggest 78232 is not seeing a dramatic break lower. Zillow lists a $405,567 median list price in its Jan. 31, 2026 snapshot and a typical home value near $370K.

Inventory + pace: Supply looks fairly stable for a North San Antonio ZIP: Zillow’s month-end view shows 132 homes for sale and 25 new listings, with a median 63 days to pending. Realtor.com reports 121 active listings and an average 76 days on market in its latest period. Bottom line: well-presented homes can still move, but overpricing is more likely to get exposed.

Negotiation: Realtor.com’s December 2025 metrics show a 97% sale-to-list ratio and homes selling about 3.09% below asking on average, which usually points to inspection and repair items meaning more than they did in a frenzy market.

What’s for sale nearby (no addresses)

Entry-level and low-maintenance options: smaller homes and townhome/condo-style listings often cluster in the mid-$200Ks to low-$300Ks.
Core move-up resale: a large share of active inventory sits in the high-$300Ks to mid-$400Ks, typically 3–4 bedroom single-family homes in established neighborhoods.
Higher-end pockets: a smaller slice of listings push into the $600Ks+ range, where buyers tend to demand updates, clean insurance/roof history, and strong appraisal support.

Rentals pulse

Zillow’s ZIP rent tracker shows an average rent of $1,204 as of Jan. 31, 2026 and a large active rental feed (hundreds of results), while Realtor.com’s ZIP dashboard shows 83 rental properties and a $1,440 median rent for Dec. 2025. If you are comparing rent vs. buy, focus on the specific unit type you need (apartment vs. single-family) because the ZIP-wide median can swing with the mix.
