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.

BOERNE SALES UP FOR JUNE, SLIGHTLY DOWN FOR JULY
August 3rd, 2009 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market
Boerne Real Estate Sales are up for the Summer so far. Total Sales for June & July were $29.9 million as compared with $25.7 last year during the same period.
The number of total sales for June & July was up by 7; however, days on market increased from 138 to 200 from July, 2008 to July, 2009 reflecting increased inventories. Pending sales as of August 3, 2009, total just over $11.2 million.
We watch the Boerne market daily. If you have something specific that you are interested, we’d love to help you find what you are looking for.
Recently, we were contacted by a gentlemen. He had previously been in contact with a listing agent on a property, tried to make an offer, but did not get the property as there were competing bids. The moral of the story (as he found out) is that Buyers need their own representation. It eliminates conflicts of interest and it provides you, the buyer, with the best market information possible.
Our goal is to EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS BY GIVING YOU ABOVE & BEYOND SERVICE.
We’d love to visit with you. Call us at 830-995-2511.

The Kerrville Real Estate Market Faring Much Like Wall Street
March 4th, 2009 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market
On Monday, the Dow Jones industrial average fell to 6,763 — the lowest close for the Dow since April, 1997. The 300-point drop Monday leaves the index more than 52 percent below its record high of 14,164.53 set in October 2007.
The Texas Hill Country real estate market, while still doing better than the national market, is experiencing a similar decline as that of Wall Street. Kerrville, Texas Real Estate Sales in January & February 2009 totaled just $7.67 million, equivalent to just 46.7% of last year’s sales.
It is commonly understood that in an unstable environment, “Big Ticket Items” get hit the worste. People delay purchases … especially big ones until they feel more certain about the future. Real Estate certainly is one of the “Big Ticket Items” that is suffering in the current economic environment.
What will it take to create a more certain future? I imagine just time. In our opinion, the real estate market, like the stock market, was due a “correction.” People get caught up in the frenzy and make unwise decisions … not based on fundamentals. The good side to a correction is people start making sensible decisions about how they spend their money. And, the ones that don’t OVERREACT can seize opportunities. When the market is down, deals can be found more easily!
The good news is that, historically, real estate has been one of the best places to invest money in uncertain times. Real estate is a “real” asset … meaning it is a tangible, real asset … It can’t be taken away … It’s not just on paper!
We believe that it is time for many who have lost money in the stock market to consider investing in real estate.
The Texas Hill Country is still one of the best places in the country to invest. Tourism and retail sales are still strong.
Our encouragement to you is: Live fully and yet wisely! And keep the long term perspective!
We’d love to help you find your Hill Country dream home! Give us a call at 830-995-2511.
