The Coastal Bend continues to run on its own clock. Corpus Christi remains the region's steady anchor, while Port Aransas and Padre Island stretched into even longer timelines this month — and Rockport quietly posted more closings even as its average days on market climbed. Whichever coastal market you're watching, June's numbers tell a clear story about where the leverage sits.

San Antonio just posted its strongest month of sales growth since last October — up 15% year-over-year — while prices rose 4% and inventory stayed deep enough to keep buyers in a strong position. It's momentum and balance at the same time, and the Hill Country submarkets each tell their own version of the story.

After three years of a cooling market, June brought the clearest signal yet that things are shifting: inventory is tightening, pending sales are climbing, and the Austin metro just posted its first year-over-year price gain in this cycle.
