Trend in price distribution emerges with October 2009 data
December 6, 2009
San Antonio had fewer homesales overall in 2009. There is a story in the price distribution of the houses sold. For example, San Antonio’s extremely low priced homes, or homes under $70,000, gained more market share at every price point. In 2009, more of the homes sold were extremely low priced homes. The data show decent gains for average priced homes, too, see below.

The middle range homes show gains, as seen in the $100k to $160k category and the $180k to $199,999 category, the latter having a large increase in marketshare. Homes above $300,000 all showed drops in 2009. San Antonio has a median family income of around $53,000 and banks have gotten tighter with their lending requirements, so it is likely families who would have risked the higher mortgage in 2006 either will not or cannot in today’s market.

Average and median prices, unfortunately, posted losses. San Antonio might be selling more homes, but the homes may only be selling because they are priced so low. The average home price of $166,300 is 10 percent lower than last October’s $184,500. The median price of $138,600 was 4 percent lower than the $144,300 seen last October.

It is too soon to make numerical comparisons to 2008, because there is another quarter to be completed. There are some foreshadowed trends emerging from the first three quarters of 2009. For example, homes $100,000 have lost some of their market share compared with higher priced homes. The loss of buyers for homes priced from $70,000 to $99,999 are driving this trend. The moderately priced homes priced between $100,000 and $159,999 are picking up the shares.
