SAN ANTONIO – The real estate market in San Antonio is starting to cool down after nearly two years of surging sales and increases in price but renters are facing large increases in some areas as well.

Rent prices in San Antonio and the surrounding areas have not been immune to the effects of inflation.

The Federal Reserve made the biggest single benchmark rate hike since 1994 over the summer to help slow home sales and ever-increasing prices but rent prices still seem to be going up.

The biggest drop in rental prices was 78202 on the East Side with a nearly 9.5% drop, according to the data.

According to a report from ApartmentData.com, the average cost for rent in San Antonio is $1,220 a month.
