The real estate market may be booming in Texas, but that doesn't mean you have to spend a ton of money on a house. At least not here in San Antonio. We've been digging around town and found some beautiful homes at an even more attractive price.
Here are five of our favorite houses on the market for under $200,000:
1. 11907 Flame Tree Cove is 2,033 square-feet of airy space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The stone exterior has serious curb appeal, but it's the floor plan and high ceilings that makes us swoon. And so does the price: $199,999.
2. Located in Universal City, 362 Kimberly Dr. is ready for move in with an updated kitchen, floors, and a beautiful stone fireplace in the living room. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms within the 2,515 square foot home priced at $189,000.
3. Enter 9323 Overland Way, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with 1675 square feet of open space. Though it's not large, the open floor plan and natural light \ make the home feel bigger than it actually is. Our favorite part? The covered patio in the back. It's on the market for $182,500.
4. Zero in on the details of 27 Rainy Ave. and you'll be sold. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has beautiful wood and tile flooring throughout the first floor. Within the 1,750 square feet is ample closet space in the master bedroom (two walk-in closets), a loft area upstairs, and a sizeable laundry room. It's located by the Leon Creek Greenway and offers great views from the multi-level deck for $162,500.
5. 18922 Lookout Mountain Trail is a small sanctuary for folks who want to escape the city. Nestled in Helotes, this 587 square-foot home — with one bedroom and one bathroom — makes for the perfect cozy getaway. There's a small balcony perfect for dining outside under a starry sky. It's listing price? $129,900.

spring homebuying season
San Antonians who are considering selling their home have the perfect opportunity coming up in April, according to a new housing report from Realtor.com.
The real estate experts said the week of April 19-25 will offer sellers the best combination of strong and stable housing prices, buyer interest, and a competitive market.
Based on historical market data, home listings in San Antonio-New Braunfels are expected to receive 22.4 percent more views during the week of April 19 compared to the average week, and homes may spend eight fewer days on the market compared to the average. This surge in demand will also affect housing prices in the area. Homes put on the market during this window are expected to list for $15,000 higher than their initial listing price, or 4.8 percent more.
"After years of being squeezed by limited inventory and high rates, the 2026 housing market is starting to feel more approachable for those who have been sidelined," said Realtor.com chief economist Danielle Hale.
In general, experts predict homebuyers will start "re-engaging" with the housing market now that mortgage rates have stabilized in late 2025. U.S. Bank reported that the current 30-year fixed mortgage rate is roughly 6.38 percent.
"For sellers, the mid-April window represents an opportunity to enter a market that feels more within reach for buyers while benefiting from a seasonal advantage in terms of pricing and competition," Hale said.
Single-family homes in San Antonio-New Braunfels had a median price of $299,590 in February, the San Antonio Board of Realtors said in its latest report, and prices have increased 1.6 percent since last year. February median housing prices for single-family homes in Bexar County came out to $286,000.
Other areas of Texas – such as Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Houston – have a different window as the best time for residents to sell their homes. For these three metros, the best time to sell a home runs from April 12-18.
Senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones warned some home sellers in Southern metros might "face softer conditions" due to an abundance of inventory.
"In those metros, optimizing timing to this early spring window is even more critical to differentiate a property from the growing competition," she said.
