Howdy, Partners! Let’s Take a Trip Back in Time: San Antonio Real Estate Prices 10 Years Ago with The Garza Home Team!
Ever wonder what San Antonio’s housing market looked like a decade ago? Buckle up, partners, because The Garza Home Team at RE/MAX North San Antonio is taking you on a trip down memory lane – real estate edition!
2014: A Different Landscape
Fast forward (or rewind?) to 2014. San Antonio was a charming city on the rise, but the housing market wasn’t quite the hotbed it is today. Here’s a glimpse of what you could expect:
- Median Sales Price: The median sales price for a single-family home in San Antonio sat around $180,000. That’s significantly lower than our current median price, which hovers around $310,000 (as of July 2023).
- Inventory: Homes lingered on the market a little longer back then. While our current market boasts a fast-paced environment with listings selling quickly, 2014 offered buyers more breathing room to search and negotiate.
- Interest Rates: Ah, the sweet nectar of historically low interest rates! In 2014, buyers enjoyed rates hovering around 4%. This, coupled with the lower sales prices, made homeownership much more attainable for many.
So, What Does This Mean for You Today?
While a trip down memory lane is fun, it’s important to understand how things have changed. Here’s how this historical perspective can be helpful for today’s buyers and sellers:
- Buyers: Don’t be discouraged by the price increase. While homes are pricier, so are salaries and overall household wealth.
- Sellers: The market is undoubtedly in your favor. Inventory is low, and demand is high, creating a competitive environment that drives up selling prices. Partnering with an experienced agent like The Garza Home Team can ensure you get the most out of your sale.
