Ready for 2008?

Are you planning to purchase or to sell a home in 2008? Now is the time to start planning for success. We will be helping you by hosting both a buyer and a seller workshop in January at the Schertz Civic Center. Details to come, but we are teaming with a host of professionals to provide you with the information you need to make informed choices and educated decisions when it comes to the largest single investment most of us make in our lives!

Sales are forecast to increase in 2008, and with the growth in the San Antonio area, we all need to be prepared. Home prices will surely be going up, but only for the best properties. New home construction has already seen dramatic increases in costs with materials going up almost every month. Cement, steel, lumber, sheetrock, copper and more have all contributed to these increases. You may see new homes advertised for low prices, but make sure to check the size and quality of amenities such as faucets, carpet, etc. There will be good deals, but only if scrutinized.

Call or email with any questions and any inputs if you would like to see or hear from a particular specialty for any of our upcoming workshops as well.
