There were 29,111 homes sold in Texas in September, a decrease of 15% from Sept. 2021., statistics show.

Average home prices increased by 10% and median prices by nearly 12% from a year ago. The average price for a home sold in San Antonio in September was $389,372, SABOR reported.

In San Antonio, the median price of a home was $337,200 in September. By comparison, Travis County reported a median price of $575,000, Harris County reported $326,000 and Dallas County reported $365,000.

Zillow uses data from public property records, tax records, recent home sales in the area, and user-submitted information to come up with an approximate market value for a home — whether it’s on the market or not. The data often differs from SABOR’s statistics because SABOR only uses data from homes that are currently listed or recently sold.
