4 bd | 5 ba | 3,276 sq ft | 0.27 acres | Built 1926

A century of character, beautifully restored. Original windows with their pulley systems still intact, European white oak floors, limestone accents — and a Taj Mahal quartzite kitchen with pendants salvaged from a farm in France. And downstairs?

San Antonio Market Update — Week of October 26

The headline this week: buyers finally have some breathing room. Rates eased for the first time since August, September’s median sold price came in at $302,999, and homes averaged 88 days on market. This is a negotiate-don’t-panic market — if you’re priced right, you move; if you’re not, the market tells you.

Downtown, Project Marvel is getting smaller but not disappearing: the district bond request dropped from $250M to $35M, while the arena financing stands on its own. And at SAT, Terminal C just topped out — 18 gates coming in 2028.

Around the region: New Braunfels’ Creekside keeps filling up, and Boerne is building — 324 apartments underway, a Buc-ee’s a decade in the making finally moving, and a senior-living ribbon cutting Oct 30.

Which of these five moves you most? Comment below or DM me to run your numbers.

Your 2026 property tax bill is in your mailbox (or about to be) 📬

Before you pay it — or file it in the drawer — check 3 things:

1️⃣ Is your homestead exemption actually on it?
2️⃣ Is your mortgage company paying it, or are you? (Don’t pay it twice.)
3️⃣ Did the value jump? That’s a spring note, not an October fight.

Pay by January 31 — penalty and interest start February 1, and they climb every month.

Questions about yours? My number’s in my bio or send me DM.

Rates finally stopped climbing — they held at 7.40% this week. And San Antonio buyers still have real leverage. Here’s the week in numbers 👇

🏡 Median sale price: $302,999 (down ~2% YoY — SABOR, September)
📦 Inventory: 5.95 months, 17,155 active listings
⏳ Average days on market: 88 (up 11%) • Pending sales down 16%
✂️ Price cuts: more than 1 in 4 listings (Realtor.com, September)
💰 Rent check: $1,500/mo median (Zumper, Oct 18) — ~21% below the national median

Development spotlight: Pearl’s expansion cleared its key HDRC vote on Oct 7 — 10 new pedestrian-first retail buildings on Avenue A (~85,000 sq ft, up to 20 stores), targeted to break ground early 2027. Its newest table, (a)mar at 403 Pearl Pkwy, is already open, speakeasy Alma de Campo inside. Downtown, the 77-room Aztec Hotel celebrated its grand opening Oct 17 inside the 1926 Aztec Theatre. And in New Braunfels, Creekside Town Center opened CAVA + Potbelly at 97% leased — with 100,000 more sq ft planned.

Buyers: negotiate. Sellers: condition + pricing win. DM me “MARKET” for your neighborhood’s numbers.
