That context matters for the current <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Antonio housing market<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: buyers here have more to compare against than they did a couple of years ago, and a listing has to earn attention rather than assume it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rising inventory in some San Antonio neighborhoods also means buyers can afford to wait for the right combination of price and condition, rather than settling on the first home that fits their search.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The longer a home sits, the more some buyers start to assume there&#8217;s a hidden problem. That perception is worth addressing early, before it compounds on top of whatever originally slowed things down.
