The Quintana Community in San Antonio, Texas has experienced significant changes in homeownership rates and property values over the past decade. From 2013 to 2022, homeownership rates increased from 58% to 65%, coinciding with a substantial rise in average home prices. In 2013, the average home price was $55,951, which increased dramatically to $152,320 by 2022, representing a 172% increase over nine years.
The relationship between federal interest rates and homeownership rates in the Quintana Community follows an expected pattern. Lower interest rates throughout much of the 2010s corresponded with increased homeownership rates. For example, when interest rates were at 0.11% in 2013, homeownership stood at 58%. By 2019, with interest rates at 2.16%, homeownership had increased to 69%. This trend suggests that lower interest rates may have contributed to increased homeownership by making mortgages more affordable.
Renter percentages in the Quintana Community have generally decreased as homeownership rates rose. The renter population decreased from 42% in 2013 to 35% in 2022. Despite this decrease, average rent prices increased substantially from $644 in 2013 to $840 in 2022, a 30% increase. This increase in rent prices, despite a decreasing renter population, could indicate a tightening rental market or an overall increase in property values in the area.
In 2023 and 2024, the Quintana Community experienced a slight downturn in average home prices. The average home price in 2023 was $145,487, a 4.5% decrease from 2022. This trend continued into 2024, with average home prices further declining to $137,652, a 5.4% decrease from 2023. Federal interest rates rose significantly during this period, reaching 5.02% in 2023 and 5.33% in 2024, which may have contributed to the cooling of the housing market.
Looking ahead, based on recent trends and current economic conditions, we can project potential scenarios for the next five years. Average home prices in the Quintana Community may continue to experience moderate fluctuations, potentially stabilizing or showing slight increases as the market adjusts to higher interest rates. Rent prices could continue to rise, albeit at a slower pace, as the rental market responds to changes in homeownership rates and overall housing affordability.
In summary, the Quintana Community has seen a strong trend towards homeownership and significant increases in property values over the past decade. However, recent data suggests a potential cooling of the housing market, likely influenced by rising interest rates. The rental market has shown resilience, with increasing prices despite a decreasing renter population. These trends highlight the dynamic nature of the Quintana Community's housing market and its responsiveness to broader economic factors.
