San Antonio: Current build cost per sq ft?
Hi BiggerPockets,
I’m a Realtor based in San Antonio, TX, and I’m looking to start buying land with the goal of building new construction homes—either to sell retail or hold as long-term rentals.
For those actively building in San Antonio (or broader Central/South Texas), what are you seeing right now as the average all-in construction cost per square foot?
If you’re open to it, I’d also love to know what kind of product you’re building (3/2, 4/2, duplex, small SF build-to-rent, etc.) and what size range (1,400–2,400 sf) so I can compare apples to apples.
Thanks in advance—any real numbers, ranges, or lessons learned would be extremely helpful as I underwrite my first few land acquisitions.
