Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Merkel is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market even as conditions soften. A typical home is valued around $220,880, and the average sale-to-list ratio of about 99.6 percent shows that closing prices are generally landing very close to asking.
Looking at this rolling three-month view, pricing and supply trends help explain the balance. Typical home values are down roughly 7 percent from a year ago, yet the median list price is up about 25 percent year over year, while months of supply has jumped to around 6.9 months, more than double last June, signaling more options and potentially longer negotiations.
Activity levels also highlight a cooler pace than last year, with homes sold down more than 20 percent year over year and pending sales cut about in half, even though new listings have inched higher. Homes are now taking about 61 days to go under contract compared with roughly 26 days a year ago, and none of the recent sales closed above list price, contrasting with a third of homes selling above list last June. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands Merkel’s current market conditions.

“David went above and beyond throughout the entire process. He made sure the property always looked its best by keeping the lawn mowed, taking care of the yard work, and even maintaining the air conditioning at a comfortable temperature to ensure the house showed well. His attention to detail and commitment to presenting the home in the best possible condition truly set him apart. David was always available to answer my questions, and his knowledge and experience were evident every step of the way. He is a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients and their success.

“So Yong did an amazing job helping me and my ex wife sell our house. Even though communication between me and my ex was very difficult, So Yong was able to moderate and navigate the almost constant "choppy waters" by providing creative solutions, and extending her resources to ensure a positive outcome for all parties.”

“I had a wonderful experience working with Justin. As an out-of-state investor, I was drawn to his local knowledge, experience, and the fact that he personally owns rental properties in San Antonio. His firsthand experience gave me confidence that he understood both the market and the needs of real estate investors. Justin consistently went above and beyond to make sure I was well-informed and able to make good purchasing decisions. The first house I had under contract ended up falling through due to issues outside of our control, but Justin worked tirelessly to try to resolve them. After the deal fell apart, he reassured me that he would help me find another property within my timeline, and he delivered. Throughout the entire process, Justin was always responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy real estate in the San Antonio area.”
