San Antonio’s rental market is experiencing some interesting shifts right now. Single-family advertised rents have slipped by mid-5% compared to last year, putting us at the lower end among major markets. This is largely due to the continued high supply in the Southwest, which has kept local rent growth in check for the time being.
On the multifamily side, advertised rents have ticked up slightly in the current period, and there are signs that even the high-supply markets are beginning to stabilize after a stretch of softness. While there’s still some caution—seasonal slowing and broader economic questions remain—there’s a sense of optimism as supply starts to taper off and rent trends improve, especially in markets that had been struggling.
For homeowners and investors considering their next steps, it’s worth noting that demand for single-family rentals remains supportive. With mortgage rates hovering above 6%, many renters are choosing to stay in place longer, helping sustain interest in these properties.
