Things keep getting worse for San Antonio\u2019s housing market.<\/p>\n

The Alamo City ranks among the worst U.S. markets for declining home values and houses sold at a loss, according to a new report <\/a>from online real estate marketplace Zillow.<\/p>\n

Nationally, a little more than half, or 53% of all homes in the U.S., have lost value since October 2024, researchers found.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Making matters worse for San Antonio, 86% of all homes have dropped in value over the past year \u2014\u00a0one of the largest such percentage declines. On average, homes here logged a 13.1% drop from their peak, the fifth-largest such decline in the nation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In nearby Austin, things were even worse: 89.5% of homes declined in value, and at an average rate of 20.5%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHomeowners may feel rattled when they see their Zestimate drop, and it\u2019s more common in today\u2019s cooler market environment than in recent years,\u201d Zillow Senior Economic Researcher Treh Manhertz said in a statement. \u201cBut, relatively few are selling at a loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, just 8.1% in San Antonio are selling at a loss, as compared to 12.6% of homes in Austin.\u00a0The report said the low number of homes sold underwater indicates that the overwhelming majority of homeowners aren\u2019t being forced to sell due to economic hardships or other reasons.<\/p>\n
