San Antonio Homes For Sale Are Going Fast



As of February 2013, the San Antonio area realty market is blooming and the good news seems never ending - especially for San Antonio home sellers.

Here's the story.

The San Antonio Board of Realtors® has just released its February 2013 residential sales report.  It shows homes for sale in San Antonio are moving at an increasing pace, with prices rising, and more expensive homes finally breaking loose from months of lackluster sales.

This February, home on the San Antonio market averaged only 99 days.  That's 4 percent less than in February 2012.

Focusing on the declining market time, Steven Gragg, 2013 SABOR Chairman of the Board, said, "Low days on the market indicate consumers are finding homes more quickly, and we are tilting more towards a seller’s market.”  

The February report includes additional evidence that, this year, San Antonio's residential market is exceptionally robust for so early in the selling season. 

A total of 1,379 homes were sold this February, compared to 1,278 sales in February 2012, and 1,079 sales in February 2011. 

Home prices are also up significantly.  This February's report shows the average home price is $194,000, last year it was $186,397, and in February 2011 it was only $179,035.

The report shows much greater interest in higher priced listings.  Homes priced $500,000 or more are selling faster and contributed to 4.1% of the February closed sales.  That's a much higher percentage than in preceding months.

Homes priced $200,000 to $500,000 made up 29.6 percent of the market.  As is usual for the San Antonio MLS area, lower priced properties below $200,000 led the way for February sales, contributing 66.1 percent of the homes sold.

Angela Shields, SABOR President and Chief Executive Officer summed up the favorable market report by saying, "With spring and summer around the corner, we are getting ready to enter our busiest season. We are hopeful that market conditions will continue to be this favorable, allowing both buyers and sellers to be satisfied in their transactions.”

Homes For Sale Near San Antonio Military Bases

 
 
 

Are you looking to buy a home near Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph AFB, Brooks City Base, or Joint Base Fort Sam Houston (Ft. Sam).

Then, here’s what you need to know.

■  Every San Antonio military base has reasonably priced neighborhoods relatively close by.

■  Many of the close-by older neighborhoods aren’t regulated by homeowners associations and, therefore, are poorly maintained. So, look carefully where you buy. Your real estate agent should advise you about neighborhood quality issues.

■  School districts and neighborhood school ranking are always a matter of home buyer concern, even for those who don’t have a school aged child. Homes serviced by quality schools generally maintain higher value over time, so always keep school issues in mind.

■  San Antonio is the nation’s 7th largest city. Area homeowners can’t escape this simple fact - San Antonio has road congestion problems and area commuters are suffering increasingly long commute times. So, ask your real estate agent for a frank evaluation of how long it should take for you to commute to work from any listing that looks promising.

■  Never, ever, buy a home just because it’s reasonably priced. Ask your real estate agent for a documented analysis of home values in the neighborhood over time. If there’s clear evidence of home value depreciation, move on. You don’t want to be stuck down the road with a mortgage balance that’s higher than your property’s market value.

■  Ask your real estate agent to set up a direct Multiple Listing Service (MLS) search for you. You’ll get the newest listings matching your needs much quicker than looking from them even on the most popular Internet realty search venues.

■  The best listings sell the fastest. So, don’t rely on the Internet to tell you about them. Rely on your MLS search to quickly send you the best listings.
