Experts say the crash everyone’s waiting on isn’t coming — but the opportunity might pass while you’re waiting for it.
Everybody’s waiting on a crash.
You’ve probably heard it a hundred times “I’m just gonna wait until prices drop.”
But here’s the truth: the data doesn’t back that up.
The experts aren’t calling for a crash — they’re calling for growth.
The latest Home Price Expectations Survey (Fannie Mae + 100+ housing economists) says U.S. home prices are expected to rise every year through 2029.
Not skyrocket like 2021, but grow steadily:
Optimistic projection: +26% by 2029
Average: +15% total growth
Pessimistic: +5% (yep — even the “bad” outlook is still growth)
So while folks are sitting around waiting for the bottom to fall out, home values are still stacking quietly in the background.
What’s Really Happening in the San Antonio Housing Market 2025
Let’s bring this closer to home.
San Antonio’s market has cooled off since the wild pandemic years, but it’s still solid.
Inventory is climbing slowly, demand is steady, and prices are leveling out not falling through the floor.
Why?
Because there’s still too much demand and not enough homes.
Builders are catching up, but not fast enough.
And those who bought years back? They’re sitting on Fat equity, not rushing to sell for less.
That means the San Antonio housing market in 2025 isn’t “crashing” it’s stabilizing, which is exactly what a healthy market does.
If you’re a buyer on the fence — here’s the real question:
What’s costing you more: waiting for a crash that’s not coming, or building equity while everyone else waits?
Let’s do the math:
Even a 3% yearly increase on a $350K home = about $10K more a year.
Wait two years? You could be paying $20K+ more for the same house plus higher rates if they bounce back up.
The truth is: “waiting” costs more than moving smart.
And San Antonio’s steady growth, strong job base, and new development (from Converse to Cibolo) are keeping values strong for the long run.
