The median home in the city of San Antonio was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992.1 San Antonio's housing is newer than the national mix: 42% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 15% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied homes in San Antonio are older than rentals: a median build year of 1982 against 1988.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
San Antonio has a mixed housing stock: 59% detached houses, 2% attached or townhouse units and 30% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in San Antonio, with 52% of occupied homes owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in San Antonio is valued at $235,700 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.

Annual precipitation is about 32 inches, with 9 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Measurable snow is rare (about 0.2 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 3,148 cooling degree days against 1,438 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates.
