Updated October 2026. Company prices verified on their own sites, October 20, 2026.
San Antonio’s MLS is now called LERA MLS. It was SABOR MLS until a recent rebrand. A flat fee listing on it runs $85 to $399 upfront across nine companies. Homes here took 88 days on market on average in September 2026, per the San Antonio Board of REALTORS, so a short listing term can cost you a renewal. On a typical $244,600 home, a 0.5% closing fee adds $1,223.

Why the slow market changes the math
The Texas Real Estate Research Center reported that San Antonio’s active inventory rose 4.4% in July 2026 and months of supply reached 6.2. Buyers have time and choices.
For a flat fee seller, that changes three things. First, term. A 6-month plan covers the average sale, but a slow listing can outlast it, and renewals cost money. Second, photos. When buyers have dozens of homes to scroll, 6 photos looks thin next to a full set. Third, closing fees. A slow market often means a price cut, but a 0.5% fee still comes off whatever price you get. Price it right the first week.
Sales are holding up even so. The San Antonio Board of REALTORS counted 2,793 single-family closed sales in September 2026 (preliminary), up 5% from a year earlier. The median price was $302,999, down 2%, and homes took 88 days on market on average.
From SABOR MLS to LERA MLS
“The rebrand only changed the name of the MLS from SABOR MLS to LERA MLS,” the MLS says. The San Antonio Board of REALTORS is still a shareholder. SABOR says it represents over 10,000 members across 13 counties, from Bexar and Kendall out to Val Verde and Maverick.
LERA’s rules set a minimum of four photos per listing. They don’t set a maximum in that rule, but Beycome’s LERA page lists 50. That’s the ceiling a max-photo plan reaches.
As with any MLS, you can’t enter your own listing. A member broker does it, and the listing then feeds the big search sites. Beycome’s San Antonio listings go to Zillow, Realtor.com and Redfin.

What’s different about selling in San Antonio
Military and VA buyers
The City of San Antonio calls Joint Base San Antonio “the largest and most diverse joint base” in the Defense Department, with about 70,000 members. Many of them buy with VA loans. Plan for a VA appraisal and a closing timeline that fits a military move.
Historic districts
San Antonio has 32 locally designated historic districts. Exterior work in them needs review and approval by the city’s Office of Historic Preservation. If your home is in one, tell buyers early. It affects what they can change.
The Edwards Aquifer recharge zone
Part of Bexar County sits over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. SAWS says San Antonio has “the strictest regulations” of the six counties for building over it. A buyer planning a pool or an addition may face extra rules there. Bexar holds only 8% of the zone, so most homes aren’t affected.
Bexar County taxes at closing
Texas has no state transfer tax. Property tax is prorated to the closing date under the TREC resale contract. Bexar County’s 2026 posted rates are 0.285963 per $100 for the county plus 0.014036 for road and flood, and 0.562880 for the City of San Antonio. School taxes add more: Northside ISD is 1.034900 and San Antonio ISD 1.186900.
For a typical $244,600 home in Northside ISD, county, city and school come to about $4,642 a year before exemptions. Close in October and you’d credit the buyer for most of the year.
The disclosure form
Most San Antonio sellers owe the buyer TREC’s Seller’s Disclosure Notice (form 55-1) under Property Code §5.008. Deliver it late and the buyer gets seven days to walk away.

San Antonio seller FAQ
Is SABOR MLS the same as LERA MLS?
Yes. SABOR MLS was renamed LERA MLS. Only the name changed, and the San Antonio Board of REALTORS remains a shareholder.
How much does it cost to list a San Antonio home on the MLS without an agent?
$85 to $399 upfront for entry plans in October 2026. With closing fees on a $244,600 home, totals run from $99 to about $1,312.
How long does it take to sell a house in San Antonio?
Homes took 88 days on market on average in September 2026, per the San Antonio Board of REALTORS. Pick a listing term with room to spare.
Can I sell to a VA buyer with a flat fee listing?
Yes. The listing is on the MLS like any other. Expect a VA appraisal and plan the timeline around it.
Is there a transfer tax in San Antonio?
No. Texas has no state transfer tax. Bexar County property taxes are prorated at closing instead.
Commission figures are examples only. Real estate commissions are not set by law or by NAR rules and are fully negotiable. Sellers choose whether to offer any compensation to a buyer’s agent, and how much; since August 17, 2024, those offers can’t be shown on the MLS.
Prices: each company’s own website, October 20, 2026. Totals: $244,600, San Antonio’s typical home value, plus any stated closing fee. Home values: Zillow Home Value Index, September 2026.
Beycome’s $0 at closing means no Beycome fee is due at closing. Title, taxes, closing costs and any buyer-agent pay you agree to still apply.
* No cancellation fee from Beycome; listings under contract can’t be canceled, and there’s no refund once the listing is live.
** Up to the maximum the state and MLS allow: 24 months in Texas, 12 in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
