Navigating San Antonio’s Land Market for Custom Homes

SHARE ON

The San Antonio land market has seen significant changes, especially since the 2008 downturn when development slowed to a crawl. When activity resumed, production builders with deep pockets swooped in, snapping up entire subdivisions with $20 million checks, a scale custom builders like myself can’t match. This has made finding custom building lots increasingly challenging.

San Antonio’s solid rock geology adds another layer of complexity, making development both costly and time-consuming. New subdivisions are quickly dominated by production builders, creating a tough environment for those seeking custom lots. However, opportunities still exist in infill areas, older subdivisions, and more rural county properties.

My decades of experience in San Antonio give me deep insights into the pockets where custom lots sporadically become available. I’ve seen the market evolve and have cultivated long-term relationships that help identify opportunities others might miss. Finding the right lot requires patience and local knowledge—qualities I bring to each client’s unique vision.
