KENDALL COUNTY REAL ESTATE SALES SHOWING IMPROVEMENT – JAN-APR (2007-2011)
May 11th, 2011 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market
Residential Real Estate Sales for the first 4 months of 2011 improved slightly over last year. 84 Sales vs. 81 last year. Also showing improvement was average sales price which increased from $314,055 to $319,152.
2007 was the height of the market. The market is currently down about 40% from that point. Sales are taking more than twice the time to sell and are selling at a deeper discount from original list price than that time period.
Thankfully, the sales curve is finally on an upswing. We have noticed that the number of distressed properties are decreasing. Inventory, however, is increasing daily.
It will be interesting to see how this year plays out … whether sales will grow stronger and eat up the inventory or whether inventory will not be absorbed and a “glut” by year end will create more distress situations. We remain optimistic … but are ever watching the market to stay abreast of the situation. For all of your real estate needs, give us a call.

Four Star – Camp Verde General Store – Great Outing in the Hill Country
January 14th, 2011 categories: Places to Go & Things to Do
Campe Verde General Store is this weeks featured hot spot ! Charming, rich with history and taste PLUS you will find the store pleasantly affordable as well. The gift shop has a cozy feel with many interesting and fun items to purchase. 2 stories of everything from art pieces , jewelery, dishes, to homemade cookies.
If in all the wonder you start to work up an appetite, count yourself in luck because you’ve saved the best for last … The Camp Verde Cafe . The food always makes a lasting impression with every thing on the menu under $7 … always fresh and delicious.
My personal favorite is the “Ooh La La!” Grilled roast beef, Swiss cheese, grilled onions and garlic mayo on ciabatta bread with au jus ($4.75).
After your meal, take a walk across the street to the park where you can enjoy wonderful Verde Creek (one of the nicest creeks in the Hill Country) or just enjoy the elements sitting at the picnic table with friends. Perhaps a game of dominoes? Check back soon for more Hill Country hot spots and things to do!
