San Antonio's job market and its multifamily fundamentals told two different stories heading into Q4 2025. Employment grew 1.9% through June, placing the metro among the top performers nationally, with 23,100 net jobs added and unemployment at 3.9%, below both state and national benchmarks. Meanwhile, the delivery cycle continued to weigh on the market: asking rents were down 0.6% year-over-year to $1,264, and occupancy in stabilized assets fell 50 basis points to 90.7% in July. Developers had 13,265 units underway through August even as starts slowed. On a trailing three-month basis, rents ticked up 0.1%, a tentative sign of stabilization driven by a recovery in the Renter-by-Necessity segment.
