Should I sell my house now?

Whether you should sell your house now depends on multiple fluctuating factors and your home-selling priorities. In addition to understanding the best months to sell fast or aim for maximum returns, consider the following data.

Current market conditions in San Antonio

San Antonio has approximately 13,306 homes on the market, including 2,964 listed in the last 30 days.

At the moment, these figures and other data suggest San Antonio is experiencing a moderate buyer's market, with inventory outpacing buyer demand. So market conditions are generally not favorable for sellers.[1]

More houses on the market than buyers means your house could sell for less, no matter what month of the year you sell.

Current mortgage interest rates

It may not be a good time to sell if interest rates are high. High interest rates generally deter buyers from entering the market.

As of December 31, 2025, 30-year fixed rate mortgages carry 6.15% interest, which is lower than rates generally seen from 1975-2000, but higher than the historical lows we saw in 2020-21.[2] In 2026, rates are projected to range between 5.9% and 6.2%.[3]

You should also consider the interest rate you have on your current mortgage. If you've locked in a much lower rate on your current mortgage, it may not make financial sense to sell your home now if you have to get a higher-interest rate on your next house.

How much equity you have in your current house

If you have 20% or more equity in your house, you’ll typically be in a strong position to sell.

With that much equity, you'll likely have a decent amount of profit when you sell, leaving you in a strong financial position for your next purchase or move.

Typically, it takes 5-10 years living in a home and paying down your mortgage to build 20% equity.

Best time to sell a house in San Antonio for speed

In San Antonio, the fastest month to sell is May, when homes spend an average of 48 days on the market (DOM) — 8 days less than the annual average.

When a market has a low average DOM, that's usually an indicator of favorable conditions for sellers, i.e., a high demand among buyers. The annual average in San Antonio is 56 days on the market, compared to the national average of 63 days.

When a local average DOM is less than the national average, it indicates a seller's market in that area. Conversely, when the local average DOM exceeds the national average, it indicates a buyer's market, meaning a less desirable time to sell.

We examined recent data to identify historically favorable months for quick sales in San Antonio.

Top ways to sell your house no matter the time of year

If you need to sell your San Antonio home and it's not the best time of year to list, you still have options.

  • Sell your home quickly: Sell to a cash buyer or an iBuyer. Cash buyers are best for sellers who need to sell in a matter of days without investing any money to fix up or stage the home. iBuyers can also close quickly with cash, but your house needs to be in good condition to qualify.
  • Save money with a low commission realtor: List with a low commission brokerage in Texas and work with full-service agents who work for reduced commissions.
  • Sell without a realtor: List with a flat fee MLS company. You'll save on listing commission, but you'll need to complete every step of the selling process yourself, making this option best for experienced sellers with extra time on their hands.
