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!
