New Home Sales

Are you in the market to purchase a new home from a San Antonio area builder? Now is a great time to check out some of the real deals they are offering. I normally tell folks to be careful in evaluating some of the advertising, but there really are some good deals to be had.

But don't forget to bring your Realtor along when you are looking. At a minimum, let the sales agent know you are working with a Realtor before signing anything. This will save all parties a lot of hassle later.

The sales agents at new home sites are trained and employed by the builder to sell their homes. They are knowledgeable on that builder's models, options, pricing and financing. And they truly want you to be happy with your purchase. What happens though when there is an issue and you want something done? Who is there to represent you and make sure things are in your best interest? This is why you need a representative in all new home sales transactions. Builders in this area know that over 85% of all sales are completed with a Realtor representing the buyer. The builders respect the impact of Realtors, and also know that their reputation will be increased with good service and that Realtor will bring more potential buyers in the future if they follow through and work together.

On the other hand, if you are not represented in a transaction, the sales agent may ask the builder, but must go by the "bosses" answer, not always able to argue in your behalf.

So, call your Realtor today, ore better yet, call us! The we will go out and check out some amazing deals in new homes this month!

More homes to choose from

Just checked the statistics and we now have 11,556 single family homes for sale in the San Antonio MLS. That is a lot of houses to choose from! Yes, some foreclosures - approximately 377 this week still available.

Are you looking at the possibility of purchasing a home this summer? Yes, we are in a buyer's market right now, so why not take advantage of it?

Interest rates are low, prices are low, and the area is still growing. A nice mix of positive influence for buyers. And with over 11,000 to choose from, I am sure we can find you one to fit!

Investors take note, rental rates are going back up and a lot of people that might have bought in previous years are not this year and still need a place to live.

Call and let us know what you need!

Back to work!

Just returned from a fantastic trip to visit my brother in Cairns, Australia! What a trip, except for the airlines!
Nancy & I strongly recommend a visit to Cairns to see the "end of the road" in the tropics and savor the rich combination of modern and ancient found there. From the truly ancient rain forests to the modern city and airport, life is a constant yin and yang in the far North of our great ally.
Anyway, we will be happy to discuss our adventures more, but want to make sure you know we are back to work and ready to help you with any and all of your real estate needs.
