Zillow Home Valuations For San Antonio Homes For Sale

For our friends at Zillow, here's an explanation of this blog's purpose.

It isn't intended to slam your excellent service in any way. Simply, its purpose is to answer a very good question recently posed to us by a some San Antonio home buyers.

Their question is this. How accurate is Zillow's Zestimate® home valuation program for San Antonio homes?

The answer is easy - Zillow's accuracy is very low.

How do we know? Zillow says so; in fact, on the Zillow.com website, it acknowledges its Zestimates® are not very accurate for almost all Texas homes.

So, why can't we rely on Zillow's Zestimates® for Texas homes?

Here's why.

Zillow uses a secret formula to calculate a home's estimated value. The formula relies on complete and accurate data from counties and cities. Although the formula is secret, it's not hard to guess that recent sales price data for homes sold in the area is a vital component of the calculation.

Now, in most states, getting that information is no problem because it's legally required to file a home's sales price as a matter of public record. But, Texas is one of the few states in the Nation where that's not required. So, when Zillow's Zestimate® program looks for the publicly recorded home sales price data for Texas cities, it comes up empty handed.

What's the result of missing that vital data when calculating a Zestimate® for a Texas residential property. Usually, the outcome is an unreastically low Zestimate valuation.

So, if you want to know what a home is worth in Texas, there are two alternatives. The best choice is to hire an appraisal by a licensed real estate appraiser. The second best choice is to ask a local Realtor® who has access to the most recent homes sales data from the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

Facts For San Antonio Home Buyers

Here are some facts for home buyers thinking about moving, or on the way, to San Antonio.

San Antonio has long been identified as one of America's most unique cities.

It isn't small, in fact, it's the nation's 7th largest city, yet there's still a small town feel in many of its unique and culturally diverse neighborhoods.

The city goes by many names - San Antonio (of course), The Alamo City, Military City USA, The River City, and, most recently, America's Military Medical City. Just don't call it San Antone (San An Tone). The natives hate that pronunciation!

San Antonio is the home of 3 major military bases and some smaller military camps and posts, so, as you'd expect, it has a relatively young military age population. City-Data.com cites 34.7 years as the median resident age. The neighborhoods closest to the military bases tend to have a much younger population.

Of course, as a sun belt city, it is a major relocation site for retiree families seeing a warm climate and relatively low cost of living.

Speaking of cost, for buyers needing a mortgage loan, there's an ample supply of trustworthy lenders. Landing a loan is another issue. Underwriters are picky-picky-picky nowadays. They seem to go out of their way to deny loan applications. Naturally, buyers with the very best income and credit scores have no problem obtaining their loans. On the other hand, even the smallest blemish on a buyer's credit report or an irregular income flow can be the kiss is death for getting a mortgage loan. So, before you go San Antonio house hunting, talk with a lender about your chances of getting your mortgage loan.

What about the availability of newly built and resale homes?

San Antonio has an ample supply of home builders eager for business as well a many available resale homes. Historically, the area's real estate market has favored new home builders because their freshly built products have proven more competitive than resale homes. A recent offsetting trend has seen San Antonio area builders putting less available new home inventory on the ground, indicating the builders are now satisfied with marketing to buyers who can afford the time to contract for a to-be-built home.

What about commute time to affordable neighborhoods? Basically, the Alamo City's commute times and distances are nothing compared to other large metro areas. Although the San Antonio metropolitan area is large and very spread out, buyers can usually find quality affordable housing within a 20 to 30 minute commute to work.

How about recreation and shopping amenities? No problem! San Antonio is one of the nation's top destination cities for tourism and shopping.

Finally, what about friendliness and newcomer acceptance? Again, no problem! Cities with large military populations aren't known to shut out newcomers. After all, San Antonio is Military City USA. So, don't expect a newcomer to find rejection. Everybody's welcome!

San Antonio CPS Energy Asks All To Conserve Power

All local news media have passed along this 2 August 2011 power conversation request from San Antonio's CPS Energy.

Rate payers are asked to take steps to conserve their electric power usage between the hours of 3:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M.

Why? The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), warns there is a risk of overloading Texas' power grid because of the extreme heat wave gripping the state. Overloading the grid will necessitate initiating rolling power blackouts throughout the state.

Here's what's recommended:

Turn off unnecessary lights, appliances and electronic equipment.

Set thermostats to 78 degrees or higher.

Use the dishwasher, laundry equipment and other appliances only during non-peak hours, preferably during the late evening and night time hours.

Instead of using high energy consuming ovens and range tops, microwave food whenever possible.

Keep drapes and blinds closed.

August 2011 San Antonio Realty Market Report

2011's very hot and very-very dry San Antonio July has passed.

Because of South Texas' drastic drought, we're lucky the Alamo City can still claim its River City nickname. But tourists and natives need not fear, the San Antonio River is flowing well and the famous River Walk is open for business as usual.

Has the area's unusually arid summer cooked its realty market. Not at all. In fact, compared to the preceding summer seasons, July's closed home sales and August's pending sales reflect a relatively active real estate market for San Antonio and the surrounding communities.

August usually heralds the end of realty high season around here and, based on many years experience, home buyers and sellers can expect to see a cooler, more casual, and less aggressive low season for new and resale home sales.

Will the coming fall and winter season see the market continuing many months of favoring home buyers over sellers?

Perhaps not, because there are increasingly strong indications that the market is drifting toward a more balanced condition.

Specifically, the homes for sale inventory has decreased markedly. That means less competition for sellers and fewer opportunities for buyers.

Also, 2011 has seen the return of the area's typical 2% to 3% home value appreciation rate. That means sellers are less likely to consider low ball offers and more likely to expect a sales price that's closer to their asking price. Consequently, in the near term, buyers can expect to encounter less seller flexibility and harder negotiations.

Clearly, San Antonio has weathered the late great recession very well. The area's past economic and demographic trends and its long term projections reflect a large and vibrant metropolitan area with a strong, stable, and growth oriented personality.

The Alamo City area realty market is expected to follow suit.

That's all for our August 2011 San Antonio realty market report. We encourage reader comments and recommendations about how to make our reports more informative and useful.

San Antonio Homes For Sale - The Seller's Disclosure

The Seller's Disclosure is a state law requirement. Its purpose is to have the seller tell prospective buyers specified things the seller knows about the property.

Real estate agents are barred by law from helping or even advising the seller about filling out the form. The intent is to keep everyone out of the seller's disclosure preparation process except the person who knows most about the property and that's the seller.

Sometimes the seller will revealed some property defects. Undoubtedly, there will be other unknown defects. There always are - even in newly constructed homes. That's why, when buying a resale home, it's advisable to negotiate for an option period, to get the property professionally inspected during the option period, and to negotiate with the seller for repairs when repairs are called for.

July 2011 San Antonio Realty Market Report

The second week in July is typically San Antonio's realty market yearly high point. Many pending sales will close within the next 30 days. Uncommitted buyers with school age children must rush to find the right home in order to able to close on their purchase or at least be under a binding contract before school starts.

Many factors are converging to make this year’s San Antonio's realty market interesting. The local economy is strong, population growth is high and, after being relatively flat for many months, home values in most neighborhoods are gradually rising.

Home sellers have responded accordingly as evidenced by a gradual upward creep in the asking price for homes for sale.

Buyer response has been fair to good so far, especially for moderately to lower priced homes and for luxury grade housing.

It's difficult to reach conclusions as to the long term market trends, but, in the short term, it's clear San Antonio's current home sales market parallels last year’s relatively tepid market. Basically, it’s not unhealthy, but significantly less than vibrant.

For those who love stats, here are the key indicators for San Antonio's single family detached home listings as of 8 July 2011.

There are 12,094 active listings, compared to 12,891 one year ago. The inventory is slowly decreasing. That's a good sign for home sellers.

The average sales price for the most recent closings is $193,883, compared to last year's $190,763. This increase in average sales price, although small, is another good sign for sellers.

Average cumulative-days-on-the-market (CDOM) for the most recent sales is 133 compared to 122 last year. In 2010, CDOM dropped fast during the Federal Tax credit home buying frenzy, then rose quickly when that program expired. It remains to be seen if cumulative market time will improve, but a slight downward trend is possible in the short term. For the time being, CDOM data is positive for San Antonio home buyers.

Industry analysts see these data as reflecting a housing market drifting toward balanced conditions. That means the market neither favors buyers nor sellers.

June 2011 San Antonio Homes For Sale Market Report





Quality Home Near Randolph AFB And Fort Sam Houston

 Summer weather came early to South Texas this year. Now, in early June, it’s unusually hot and very dry in-and-around San Antonio.

Does the Alamo City’s residential realty market match the weather? Not yet.

In the first quarter (January through March 2011), home sales activity was very healthy, leading many realty analysts to believe that 2011 would herald San Antonio’s full recovery from the effects of the late great national recession. Yet, April saw a dip in sales and a continuing decline in residential resale list prices. May seemed no better, as pending contracts dropped below May 2010’s less than glamorous pending sales record.

Does this year’s April and May downturn foreshadow an unusually slow late spring/early summer home sales cycle for San Antonio. It remains to be seen, but it’s unlikely even a slow San Antonio realty year will signal a serious decline in San Antonio’s typically healthy real estate environment.

Here’s why.

Because of its solid economic and demographic foundations, San Antonio remains one of the nation’s bright spots for home ownership and rental investments. Affordable mortgage availability is high for those who qualify, mortgage interest rates are historically low, and the area continues to receive an influx of retiree families, job seekers, and military and corporate relocation buyers eager to take advantage of San Antonio’s well priced homes.

Focusing on specifics, homebuyers and sellers should take satisfaction in knowing that there’s some good news for everyone.

For sellers, there are hints that the area’s months long buyers’ market is weakening. The residential listing inventory has stabilized and homes are selling well, particularly in the moderately to higher priced subdivisions in San Antonio’s north, northeast, and northwest sectors.
The advantage goes to sellers willing to beat out the competition by expending the resources needed to put their homes in prime market condition.

On the other hand, buyers have the advantage of being able to select from a large inventory of quality homes offered at close to bargain prices in many areas around town. Where listings are staying on the market longer than usual, sellers are lowering their price expectations accordingly.

Both buyers and sellers should keep this in mind. Those willing to negotiate realistically based on San Antonio’s market realities are the ones most likely to leave the closing table mutually satisfied.

That’s all for our June 2011 San Antonio realty market report. We encourage reader comments and recommendations about how to make our reports more informative and useful.

San Antonio Homes With Greenbelt Land

MacMillan online dictionary describes a greenbelt as an area of land around large cities where no buildings are allowed in order to protect the countryside.

Another definition that I like calls it an area of undeveloped land around a residential area created by covenant, deed restriction, or city zoning with the intention of preserving the open space and natural environment.

Here in San Antonio, for real estate purposes we have a lot description called "GREENBELT". I think that sometimes that description is rather loosely interpreted and what some folks consider greenbelt may not exactly fall into ANY of the categories listed above. What you can pretty much guarantee is that there is some undeveloped or unused land behind or adjacent to the home that is being offered for sale.

There are currently 36 properties listed as backing to greenbelt in the area where I live and specialize. Now this is a huge area and we do have some wonderful parks with walking and riding trails, some river authority owned property , some flood plains, some golf courses, and even some power lines. All of the above can fall into the greenbelt category, so it is a good idea to have a good look at the pictures of your real estate if you are looking online or even better idea to have your agent take a look for you. I just looked at the pictures of all 36 of these properties. I KNOW these houses and I KNOW these neighborhoods. Some greenbelts are absolutely fabulous! Some, not so much.

My house backs to property that I think belongs to the golf course. It may be owned by the River Authority because there is a part of the 500 year flood plain running through it, but it makes no difference to me. It is my own personal "BACK 40". It's a rough area of the golf course, far enough away from the fairways and greens to make it appealing, because we don't like golf balls hitting the back of the house. My next door neighbor has a path through to the course. Our greenbelt affords views of the wildlife, and we have a great place to walk the dogs. We can encroach with a sacrificial garden that feeds only the deer and rabbits. (The one thing they don't eat is parsley.)

TAAD (Texas Association of Appraisal Districts) gives appraisers "wiggle room" when it comes to value for views, but I can't find anything that discusses a distinct value for greenbelts. My experience has been that a buyer will usually pay much more if the greenbelt is a nature preserve or golf course, a little more if it is a drainage easement, and less for an electrical easement if there are power lines involved. So, I guess the value can be compared to beauty and all considered in the eye of the beholder. Or you can ask those that own property adjacent to the greenbelt. Greenbelts afford privacy and spitting room that is hard to come by in urban areas. Go on, ask someone who lives near one. They will tell you . . . it's priceless. --

May 2011 San Antonio Home Sales Report

Where do we go from here?

That's the question on everyone's mind as we approach the height of San Antonio's typical home buying and selling season. Will we have a fantastic realty year like 2006 or will it be a so-so year like 2010?

It's hard to say and we won't know until September, but some things are certain.

Spurred on by the Federal home buyer tax credit programs, San Antonio's home sales market was driven hard during the first quarter of 2010. Homes sold fast - especially lower priced listings. Then, when the credits ended, the market faded hard and fast, leaving 2010 sales ranking low when compared to the previous five years.

Now, the data for the first quarter of this year reveals average to slightly above average home sales activity.
Some analysts see the market picking up significantly during May through July period.

Here's why.

San Antonio's economy is healthy and vibrant.

The nation's 7th largest metropolitan area was only lightly touched by the late Great Recession. Our state and local government policies and military, medical, and service industry activities successfully kept the Alamo City on a stable and steady course through some very choppy economic waters.

Population growth and expansion of the metropolitan area is steady.

San Antonio continues to enhance its reputation as Military City USA. This year, the city is scheduled to receive an influx of new military arrivals as the area's much heralded base realignment and expansion projects are completed.

Arguably, there's no other city in the nation with a larger complex of uniformed services training and intelligence units allied with associated defense research, development, and contracting activities.

Of particular note is the enormous San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) - the home of the Wounded Warrior Program, center of excellence for military medical education and training, and a major treatment center for our uniformed service members and their families worldwide.

SAMMC has added "The Home of Military Medicine" to the proud list of noble names for San Antonio.

What about the private sector?

Hardly a week goes by without a major corporation announcing plans to relocate to, or expand in, the San Antonio area. Also, there are small business startups or expansions underway in every sector of the city.

Such positive signs of growth and stability bid well for The River City's home buying and selling market.

What about the Alamo City's home loan industry?

Mortgage interest rates remain at historic lows. For those who can qualify, there's no better time than now to acquire a fantastically reasonable mortgage loan.

Who do these conditions favor?

San Antonio's long and strong home buyer's market continues. There's an ample supply of reasonably priced well prepared resale homes. On the other hand, new construction home products are in short supply.

Lender owned and short sale listings are selling particularly well.

As for home sellers, the advantage goes to the sellers most willing to reduce their price expectations and expend the money, time and effort to improve their property's condition and appearance.

That's all for our May 2011 San Antonio realty market report.

April 2011 San Antonio Homes For Sale Report

Despite the recent national economic downturn, San Antonio's realty market hasn't suffered significantly - just slowed.

Now, as our annual Fiesta celebration heralds the typically faster spring and early summer realty sales season, residential listing and sales activity is picking up.

Available home inventory is ample. In most neighborhoods, homes for sale list prices are stable and very comparable to last year's prices.

The indicators all point to the Alamo City's slower market having bottomed out and heading into a much more active phase for many months to come.

Foreclosure activity is moderate. Buyers have been actively seeking out bargains, particularly in the relatively large inventory of lender owned foreclosed properties.

Investor interest is also picking up significantly. San Antonio has always held high potential for diligent realty investors who know what they're doing.

So, why should realty investors consider San Antonio? The answer is evident.

In and around San Antonio, prices for good to excellent properties are generally low compared to other big cities. There is an ample supply of skilled tradesmen for home renovation and refurbishing projects. Materials are readily available and reasonably priced.

On the down side, home owners and rental and resale investors must be willing to accept relatively high property taxes, a low average home price appreciation rate, and, compared to other large cities, a longer than average holding period to make a profit.

All things considered, such down factors are more than offset by San Antonio's consistently stable economic condition, realty market stability, and steady growth.

So, who has the advantage in San Antonio's current realty market?

Industry analysts agree that the data reflect a market strongly favoring buyers over sellers. As for sellers, the advantage goes to the home seller most willing to reduce his or her price expectations and expend the money, time, and effort to improve the property's condition and appearance.

That's all for our April 2011 San Antonio realty market report.

Latest Libyan MilitaryTechnology

Breaking news! 

We've learned the Libyan Air Force is testing stealth aircraft designed to counter recently enacted UN no-fly restrictions. 

This exclusive photo of a most recent test flight was reportedly smuggled out of Tripoli's military equipment test facility by a defecting Libyan technician affiliated with Moammar Gadhafi's armored vehicle development program.

We've learned the technician fled to Tunisia aboard a test model of the latest Libyan battle tank.   We obtained this picture of the tank from a highly confidential CIA "shoes-on-the-ground" source.

Libyan Dromedary Class 1-A Battle Tank (Test)

Our source also furnished this picture of the high-tech-low-altitude bomber developed and manufactured for the Lybian air force by an unidentified Chinese aeronautical firm. 

There are no reports the bomber has actually been seen in Lybian air space.

Are Cash Back Programs For Buying A San Antonio Home Legitimate?

Here’s a question if you’re looking to buy a San Antonio area home.

If you’ve been to a Realtor’s advertisement offering a cash bonus for home buyers, how should you react?

It seems most buyers turn away - not trusting what seems to be a too-good-to-be-true offer. But is it?

Here are the facts.

The real estate business is highly competitive. Realtors ® literally fight for your business. Offering a cash back bonus is simply a way for a Realtor® to gain a competitive edge.

Look at it this way.

Every business has to pay money to make money. Cash back offers are a totally legitimate use of realty marketing funds; and, contrary to the counter marketing campaigns launched by the competition to discourage acceptance of buyer cash back programs, the programs are very good for home buyers.

So, don’t buy the argument that a cash back program in some way implies that the Realtor® is substandard, slick, or shady. Simply accept the fact that the Realtor®  is willing to reward your loyalty by giving back a portion of the commission earned for capably serving you.

That said, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t carefully check out a Realtor® offering a cash back program because, when it comes to buying a home, you owe it to yourself to shop for the best Realtor® under all circumstances. Longevity, professional credentials, and references count. Don’t hesitate to be picky.

Our Realty Solutions Team is offering a cash back program for public service home buyers. Click for specifics and feel free to check out our credentials at SanAntonioHomeQuest.com.

What Does A San Antonio Home Buyer's Agent Do?

Each month, the SanAntonioHomeQuest.com Realty Solutions Team answers many questions about all things related to homes for sale in the San Antonio area.

Here’s a good one.

Q: What does a home buyer’s agent do?

A:  Things to know about buyer agency:

■The buyer agent’s duty is to represent the buyer by putting the buyer’s interests first in all respects.

■The buyer agent’s role is to find and show properties, advise the buyer regarding acquisition strategies and offering prices, help with the process of obtaining financing, write the offer and associated documents, negotiate the purchase terms and conditions, and generally oversee and facilitate the purchase from inception to closing.

■The buyer agent is typically paid a percentage of the commission that the seller has agreed to pay the listing broker. But the source of the commission isn’t an issue, because legally, professionally, and ethically, the buyers agent represents the buyer, not the seller.

Putting it in simplier terms, the buyer’s agent serves the buyer’s realty needs and protects the buyer’s interests.

February 2011 San Antonio Real Estate Market Report

"Oh, the times, they are a-changing," - Bob Dylan

Across the nation last year, the business of home buying and selling ran an interestingly changing course. Burdened with excessive foreclosures, rigid mortgage lending requirements, lackluster job markets, sluggish home sales and rapidly falling home values, is it any wonder that home buyers and sellers, not to mention their Realtors®, grew tired of the trials and tribulations of the great recession.

Let's face it. In 2010, were it not for the brief changes brought about by the extension of the Federal Government's Home Buyer Tax Credit Program, the nation's realty market would have likely stayed in deep trouble.

But, not so in San Antonio! The Alamo City closed 2010 having one of the nation's healthiest large metropolitan area realty markets.

Granted, San Antonio's 2010 housing market was pinched a bit by the national economic downturn. Alamo City foreclosures went up and average home values went down in some neighborhoods. Now, in the second month of 2011, signs are favorable for reversing those trends.

Experts say San Antonio real estate sales should remain stable in 2011. All economic factors indicate the area's immediate future is highly favorable for strong economic growth, low unemployment, and the continuing strong infusion of the money and human resources needed to build an even more economically vibrant city. That's great news for home buyers and sellers.

That doesn't mean there might not be some trials and tribulations ahead for San Antonio real estate. Of particular concern, in this second week of February, is the fact that mortgage lending is getting more expensive and tighter. The trend is likely to continue into the summer. Consequently, if you are a prospective home buyer or a home owner thinking of selling your home, it's time to get off the fence and act now before mortgage lending trends disrupt your plans.

If you are a stats lover, here are the relevant market indicators for San Antonio single-family detached homes as of 16 February 2011.

There are 11419 active listings compared to 11324 last year. The inventory is increasing slowly. A plentiful inventory is a good sign for buyers.
The average list price for homes on the market is $252,607 compared to $268,597 last year. The drop in average list price reflects a lowering of seller expectations in the face of economic realities. It indicates a market adjustment favoring buyers over sellers.
The average cumulative days-on-the-market (CDOM) is 186 compared to 170 last year. This is another positive sign for buyers.

Industry analysts agree that these data reflect a market strongly favoring buyers over sellers.

That's all for our February 2011 San Antonio real estate market report.

San Antonio Homes For Sale Questions And Answers

Each month, the SanAntonioHomeQuest.com Realty Solutions Team answers many questions about all things related to homes for sale in the San Antonio area.

Here’s a recent one:

Q:  What does ”active option” mean?

A:   Active option means a buyer has successfully negotiated a contract to buy the property and, for a small fee, has purchased the unrestricted right to back out of the contract within a negotiated number of days, usually 10 days in this market. If the buyer exercises his option to walk away, the property will go back on the market.

During the option period, the buyer will have the property inspected by a licensed residential property inspector (if heor she so chooses), takes steps to finalize loan arrangements, and contemplates going through, or not going through, with the purchase.

The seller may allow continued showings during the option period in hopes of garnering a back up offer.

The Super Bowl Impacts The San Antonio Real Estate Market

The stats don’t lie. The passing of Super Bowl Sunday heralds the dawning of San Antonio’s most active real estate season.

Yes, spring usually comes early in South Texas and the advent of longer and warmer days rarely fails to significantly heat up the area’s realty market.

So, if you’re planning to sell your San Antonio area home this spring or early summer, don’t delay. Get it listed right away.

Seek out an experienced listing agent. Ask for an analysis of your property’s current value accompanied by a customized marketing plan designed to optimize your chances of quickly attracting buyers and a timely sale.

If you are planning to purchase a home, consult with a seasoned buyer agent right away.

An experienced buyer agent is expert at harnessing the search power of the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to identify the best properties meeting your needs, analyzing neighborhood and individual property values, and preparing and negotiating your home purchase offer.

Remember, both the listing and buyer agent share common goals.

First and foremost is to serve your realty needs and protect your interests as a consumer. Second, is to work hard to get you the best possible home sale if you are the seller or the best possible home purchase if you are the buyer.

Through experience and training, seasoned buyer and listing agents have acquired the negotiating skills needed to bring a seller and buyer to a mutually acceptable win-win agreement.

So, if you’ve been thinking about purchasing or selling a home, this is the best time to get started by engaging the realty expert who is best qualified to help you meet your home buying or selling needs.

We offer our services. Call or email us if you want to talk about your situation or to ask about things like the Super Bowl that impact on San Antonio’s realty market.

Why Waste Your San Antonio BAH On Rent?

Home ownership is still the American dream, but, for most military members considering buying a home for the first time, the real estate market can be overwhelming.

Also, the recent “great recession” has clouded many a prospective military home buyer’s vision of owning a home. This is particulary true for service members worrying about holding a home long enough to build enough equity to overcome an unexpected housing market downturn.

So, here’s some advice for the military member destined for a permanent change of station (PCS) in the San Antonio area.

First, don’t approach buying your primary San Antonio residence as an investment unless you intend to keep it as a rental property when you make your next move. Simply, the recent recession wiped away the concept of owning a home as an investment. Now, be advised to consider your home only as a place to live with the possibility of making some money when you sell it.

Second, when weighing the pros and cons of home ownership, keep in mind the exceptional value of the government’s BAH contribution to satisfying your housing needs. Even after considering the risk of losing money because of economic conditions or being forced to sell early because of an early PCS, most experts agree that it’s better to use your BAH to buy a home instead of paying it to a landlord.

Third, before deciding to buy instead of rent, consult with an experienced Realtor® who can refer you to the most a reputable local lender specializing in VA mortgages. Realtors® and VA qualified lenders are held to extremely high ethical standards in Texas. They are duty bound to give you fair and honest advice.

Finally, consider this. The San Antonio realty market has favored buyers over sellers for many months. Mortgage interest rates remain close to historic lows. The San Antonio home market is highly stable and offers some of the best values in the nation. So, why rent when so many factors favor your becoming a San Antonio home owner?

Nationwide Interest In San Antonio Homes For Sale

Here's news from the SanAntonioHomeQuest.com Realty Solutions Team.

A January 11, 2011 article in the San Antonio Business Journal, reports San Antonio was the fourth most researched residential real estate market in the country in 2010, according to Realtor.com.

Realtor.com is one of the Internet’s most often searched sites for real estate listings in all 50 states.

Scanning its 2010 search history, Realtor.com ranked the nation’s top 10 realty markets based on the number of visitors seeking homes for sale last year.

San Antonio ranked number four behind Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Orlando.

All of the top ranked cities saw increased sales activity at the beginning of 2010, as buyers took advantage of the Federal home buyer tax credit programs and exceptionally low mortgage interest rates. After the tax credit programs expired, all of the leading markets also experienced a dip in sales activity.

That’s the latest home buying news from the SanAntonioHomeQuest.com Realty Solutions Team.

Why You Should Purchase A San Antonio Area Home Right Now

It’s December, typically the slowest month for Alamo City realty sales.

It’s likely there will never again be a home buyer’s market like we have in San Antonio right now.

If our realty market behaves as usual, after the first of the year, realty sales will perk up dramatically and list prices will rise.

Also, mortgage interest rates are rising now and expected to continue to rise in the first quarter of 2011.

So, please don’t wait. Now’s the time to take advantage of low home prices and low mortgage interest rates.

We’re here to give you home buying advice or assistance. Our goal is to help you purchase the best house, in the best neighborhood, for the price, terms and conditions most favorable for you. Don’t hesitate to call on us.
