San Antonio has seen declining sales since May 2007. The largest one year decline occurred in November 2008. The number of homes sold dropped to 1064 from 1591 in November 2007, or 33.12 percent. November was also the largest drop looking at two-year differences. November 2008 saw 44.55 percent less sales than November 2006. Every month was at least 9.4 percent lower than its 2006 counterpart, though the average loss was 24.72 percent.

Mean home prices are about where they were last November, actually up about a quarter of a percent to $177,300, but the median home price dropped by 3.03 percent to $140,600. By breaking down the sales into price categories, one can see the number of extremely low priced homes has gone up by over 50 percent, thus dragging the median down with it.
