JANUARY TO SEPTEMBER SALES UP IN COMFORT, TEXAS
September 14th, 2010 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market
Increases in sales of Farm and Ranch and Lots/Acreage provided the stimulus for total real estate sales increases in Comfort, Texas so far this year. Looks like hill country land is coming back in vogue again!
On the other hand, residential sales are down so far this year. As I quickly look through the residential sales so far in 2010 (14 so far compared to 16 last year during the same time period), I am reminded that many of them were at deep discounts from original list price. The average list price to sales price ratio was 88.4%
As for the outlook for THE ENTIRE HILL COUNTRY for the balance of the year, here are some things to consider:
Tax rates are set to increase next year. Current land owners: This year may be an opportune time to realize gains on real estate at lower tax rates.
There is currently a “glut” of residential properties on the market. Since there is so much competition, homes that are “average” just aren’t selling. Prices are being reduced time and time again in order to get market attention. As such, we believe that by end of year there will be some great “buys” on homes that need a little TLC.
We’d love to serve you whatever your real estate needs are. We work from Leon Springs to Mountain Home, Bandera to Johnson City. Give us a call!

COMFORT, TEXAS – 2009 REAL ESTATE FIGURES SOUND GOOD???
January 5th, 2010 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market
Believe it or not … Real estates sales in Comfort, Texas were actually up for the year! Two categories – Residential and Farm/Ranch were up. Two categories – Acreage/Lots and Commercial were down.
In a small market, a few sales can make a real difference. In the residential market, the average price per item sold increased 42% from $247,833 to $352,887. What that means is that not only were there 2 more sales in 2009 (20 vs. 18) but the properties that sold were considerably more expensive. That is not due to price increases but instead, the properties that sold were higher end. That continues the trend in this area during the economic downturn. It is the higher priced properties that have continued to sell. 7 of the 20 residential properties that sold were $500,000 and up. In the Farm/Ranch category, one ranch sale (at $1,530,329) accounted for the lion’s share of the increase.
What does this mean about the market? An improving market is at work. Our observations are:
- Sellers have realized that they need to be more realistic in their pricing.
- People’s perception about the economy is improving.
- Expectations of inflation makes real estate a “safe” investment.
We do our best to provide you with the best information available so that you can make an informed decision whether you are a buyer or seller.
We strive to help our sellers price their properties competitively so that they get SOLD. In the current market, that is especially important so we can really HELP you!
If you are a buyer, we are currently aware of several “real buys.” Call for more information.
Each person’s scenario is unique. We’d love to help you with yours.

Numbers Aren’t Yet Reflecting Increased Market Activity in Comfort, Texas
June 2nd, 2009 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market
I was surprised to discover that the increased market activity that we have been seeing in the area has not yet turned into actual sales (at least for Comfort). For the months of April and May, there were NO sales (as compared to 2 the preceding year totalling $962,264). Here’s where we are for the year:
I guess the surprise is due to the increased number of properties under contract (5 currently). It is likely that next month’s figures will be much better. Also, there are several Comfort properties listed only in the Kerrville MLS. None have sold to my knowledge; however, at least one is under contract.
The other interesting piece of data that I found for Comfort:
There are 202 Units of Real Estate currently on the market with a total market value (e.g., list price) of $73 Million.
Pretty significant for a little community of just over 5,000, huh?
If you’d like to add to or substract from that number, we’d love to help you! We’re your source for real estate & community information for Comfort and the surrounding area! Give us a call 830-995-2511.
