🏘️ What’s This All About?
If you're a homeowner in Fair Oaks Ranch or Boerne, or considering selling your home in the luxury price bracket ($579,000 and above), understanding how long homes are sitting on the market is essential. Time-on-market tells us a lot about buyer demand, pricing sensitivity, and where opportunities or risks lie—especially in a shifting economy.
This post compares Median Days on Market (DOM) for:
Fair Oaks Ranch
Boerne
The Entire San Antonio MLS
The results show clear patterns—and some surprising contrasts.
📍 Fair Oaks Ranch: Homes Are Sitting… and Sitting
📈 Highest DOM in the region
Fair Oaks Ranch consistently leads in time on market. In 2025, the median DOM has stretched beyond 150 days, pointing to serious market friction in this price tier.
🚩 Contributing factors:
Fewer qualified buyers at high price points
Potential overpricing or unmet buyer expectations
A mismatch between inventory and what today’s buyers want
If you're selling in Fair Oaks Ranch, this isn't business as usual. You’ll need a data-informed pricing strategy and strong presentation to attract attention and shorten the sale cycle.
🏡 Boerne: Slower, But More Balanced
📊 DOM ranges between 75 to 125 days
Boerne tells a more stable story. While homes are sitting longer than in prior years, they’re still moving faster than those in Fair Oaks Ranch.
✅ Why the difference?
A broader range of inventory
Somewhat more attainable price points
More flexible buyer pool
Sellers who price to the market and offer clean, well-maintained homes are still seeing solid activity.
🌐 Entire MLS: The Healthiest Pace
📉 DOM generally stays between 50–90 days
The broader San Antonio MLS shows a healthier market overall. Homes over $579K are still moving—faster than in either Fair Oaks Ranch or Boerne.
💡 This tells us the slowdown is concentrated in specific upper-tier pockets rather than widespread. The MLS-wide performance indicates that value, location, and condition remain strong differentiators.
🔍 Key Takeaways for Sellers & Buyers
📌 Fair Oaks Ranch Sellers:
DOM over 150 days means pricing and marketing need to be laser-sharp.
Don’t expect momentum unless you’re aligned with market conditions.
📌 Boerne Sellers:
The market is cooler, but still fair. Stand out with price discipline and top-tier presentation.
📌 Buyers:
More negotiating room exists in Fair Oaks Ranch.
Boerne offers better balance if you're looking for less friction and more options.
