The upward trend resulted in 3,516 homes sold in March 2021 compared to March 2020's 3,029 homes sold.
“As we near summer, we are starting to see a rise in home sales earlier than the peak of summer season,” said Xavier Turpin, Realtor at 210 Realty Group. "Taking the pulse of the market and seeing the continually high demand, it is clear that homeownership in Bexar County and its surrounding areas remains a priority for many coming into mid-year."
