As a resident of the zip code 78249 and a San Antonio REALTOR, I felt it was time to get a little more personal and bring things home. What few people know is that I was born and spent many of my childhood years living in this very zip code. So when I say, “bring things home” I mean it quite literally, for as fate would have it I ended up back here almost 30 years later. That being said, I have some history as a resident and some expertise as a San Antonio Realtor that I would like to impart to those who are curious to learn a bit about the zip code that is 78249.
As many people do, my wife and I wanted to move from the side of town we were living on to be closer to our jobs. The goal was to get into a central location and into an area/neighborhood that we would feel comfortable raising a family in, but that would not break the bank. Our search led us to look at a variety of homes in 78249 and surrounding zip codes, however we were attracted to 78249 homes specifically because of their diversity and character.
The appealing thing about 78249 is that it is in the center of the city with easy access to three major highways, UTSA, The Rim shopping center and a straight shot to the South Texas Medical Center. The homes in this zip are generally all homes in well-established neighborhoods that range from the low $100's, to multi-million mansions. You will find everything from the traditional starter homes, garden homes and Villas to multi-million dollar homes. Interested in a brand new 78249 home? We got that as well, with a brand new subdivision of 78249 homes being built, you can get your new home starting at around 200k. If new is not your thing then there are many different and unique neighborhoods that are well established with mature trees, quiet streets and friendly neighbors.
In closing, I want to share the numbers i.e. median home prices. According to Realtor Property Resource the median home price for 78249 homes is $194,500 (at the time of this writing), which reflects home prices/values having risen by 7.7% over the last 12 months. The median days on the market for 78249 homes was 51 days, which is three weeks below the median for Bexar County as a whole. What this means for those of you who are considering a move into a 78249 home, the longer you wait the more you are likely to have to pay and the greater your risk of losing the home you want. The real estate market in this zip, as in most of the city, is active and showing no signs of slowing down so don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of this pie. As your San Antonio Realtor I am here to answer any questions you may have and to handle all your real estate needs, so call today!
