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!

KERR COUNTY REAL ESTATES SALES – SUMMER SO FAR ABOUT EQUAL TO LAST
August 3rd, 2009 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market
Real Estate Sales in Kerr County during the month of July slowed a bit. Sales amounted to $11.1 Million as compared with $13.5 Million a year earlier, down from June’s increase.
It would seem that the Kerr County market is continuing to adapt to the changing, slower market as we take a closer look at other available data. List/Sales Price decreased from 95% in July, 2008 to 93% in July, 2009 meaning that buyers are still getting better deals, overall. Inventory, which as been very high (there were 1121 Active listings as of July 31, 2009 as compared with 923 a year earlier) is finally seeing some improvement. Days on market, a number that tells us how long it takes an average property to sell, decreased from 168 in July, 2008 to 152 in July, 2009.

MARKET DATA FOR COMFORT TEXAS: February was a good month!
March 6th, 2009 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market
Real estate sales in Comfort, Texas during February were stronger than last year’s figures. There were 3 sales totaling just under $1.4 million which compares with 6 sales totaling just under $1.2 million during February 2008.
Two of the 3 sales were properties greater than 25 acres. In a rural area such as Comfort, properties with large acreages generally make up a large portion of the overall sales figures. Hopefully last month’s results indicates a change in the trend as sales of large acreages were off during most of 2008.
We are generally optimistic about Comfort for 2009. Several new “tourist destinations” are expected to make their home in the Comfort area … which should help the overall economy and the appeal of the area. Also, we believe the trend toward “small town” living will continue. Many people believe that Comfort is the first “true” small town in the Hill Country outside of San Antonio … so it has great appeal to those looking for that quaint, “All American”, small town feel.
The Hill Country is a great place to live … So, if Comfort is what you’re looking for, give us a call. We’d love to help you find your “Hill Country Dream Home.”
