REAL ESTATE SALES TREND ON ITS WAY BACK UP – KERR COUNTY, TEXAS
May 11th, 2011 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market, Real Estate Stats & Issues
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.

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!

KERR COUNTY REAL ESTATE SALES ARE STILL SLOW – January to September 2010
October 4th, 2010 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market, Real Estate Stats & Issues
Year to date (January to September) real estate sales are down for 2010 … $7 million from 2009 and a whopping $60 million from 2007.
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
June 4th, 2010 categories: About the Local Market, Assessing the Local Market, Real Estate Stats & Issues
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.
The 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.
