FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About San Antonio Real Estate

Q: What is the best time of year to sell a house in San Antonio?

A: Spring (March through May) typically sees the highest buyer activity in San Antonio. Homes listed in April often sell faster and closer to the asking price due to increased demand before the school year ends. However, San Antonio’s large military community creates steady, year-round relocation demand, making any season viable for well-priced homes.


Q: How much are closing costs for buyers in San Antonio, TX?

A: Buyers in San Antonio can generally expect to pay between 2% and 4% of the home’s purchase price in closing costs. This includes loan origination fees, appraisal fees, title insurance, and prepaid property taxes.


Q: What are the average property taxes in San Antonio?

A: Property taxes in Bexar County are generally between 2.2% and 2.7% of the home’s assessed value, depending on the specific school district and municipality. Texas has no state income tax, which is offset by these property tax rates.


Q: How long does it take to buy a house in San Antonio?

A: From the time your offer is accepted, it typically takes 30 to 45 days to close on a house in San Antonio if you are getting a mortgage. Cash purchases can close much faster, often in 10 to 14 days.


Q: Do you help with military relocations to San Antonio?

A: Yes, with multiple bases including JBSA Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph, military relocation is a major part of the San Antonio market. I am highly experienced in helping service members utilize VA loans and navigate tight PCS timelines to find the right home near their base.
