REAL ESTATE SALES TREND ON ITS WAY BACK UP – KERR COUNTY, TEXAS

KerrCountySalesJanApr

Sales in Kerr County are finally on their way back up. The total real estate market is only at 52% of the market height in 2007 but is up 11% from last year. The average sales price increased slightly from $181,742 to $183,095.

It is our feeling that the market has not recovered as much as in adjoining Kendall County because there have been fewer “deeply discounted” properties. With so much on the market, buyers are looking for “deals.” If a property doesn’t “shine” next to its competition and truly feel like a “deal,” savvy buyers will pass for the next more appealing property. The moral: Property pricing is more important than ever!

Regardless, we are encouraged by the turn in the trend. We’d love to talk with you about YOUR real estate needs. Give us a call at 830-995-2511.

September sales were just about even from last year providing some hope that sales decreases may have begun to “bottom out.”

There are SOOO many properties on the market right now providing year end opportunities for investors with cash and home buyers “READY” to move.  We’d love to help you find what YOU are looking for. Give us a call at 830-995-2511.

SLIGHT INCREASE IN REAL ESTATE SALES IN KERR COUNTY FOR FIRST 5 MONTHS OF THE YEAR

So far this year, Real Estate sales in Kerr County are slightly up from last year; however, way down from 2008.  Total sales in Kerr County for January to May 2010 totaled $33.8 Million.  There were 186 sales.

JanMaySalesKerrThe average home price in 2008 was $220,921; in 2009, it was $223,123, and in 2010, it was $199,996.  Those figures, in our opinion, represent what we have been seeing happen.  In 2008, sales were still strong and prices were at their height.  In 2009, sales were off, but prices were not coming down like one would expect.  During 2010, prices are definitely lower.  We have been telling our clients that prices are down by about 10%.  These figures substantiate that information.

We feel like it is a really good time to buy.  Prices are down and interest rates are still low.  If you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right time, now is the time to jump in!  Give us a call. We’d love to help you find what YOU are looking for.

BOERNE SALES UP FOR JUNE, SLIGHTLY DOWN FOR JULY

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.

JuneJulyBoerneThe 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.

KERR COUNTY REAL ESTATES SALES – SUMMER SO FAR ABOUT EQUAL TO LAST

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.

JuneJulyKerr

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.

Our Motto is “Connecting Buyers & Sellers for a Win/Win Result”.  We work hard to bring YOU the results you want!  Ask us , we’ll tell you how!  We can be reached at 830-995-2511.
