appreciation: First-quarter housing numbers for San Antonio, Texas - still a buyer's market - 06/03/09 08:09 AM
San Antonio is still considered a buyer's market, with the median price for a resale home during the first quarter of 2009 at $146,300. This is down 1.5% compared to a year ago, according to the San Antonio Board of Realtors.
Lower mortgage interest rates and this year's beefed-up tax credit for first-time buyers seem to have spurred buyers into action this spring. The 8 months' worth of housing inventory needs to be reduced to 6 months in order to get back to a balanced market, in which the negotiation advantage is split more evenly between buyers and sellers.

appreciation: San Antonio is a buyer's market now - 09/27/07 02:49 PM
San Antonio's real estate market continues to run contrary to many of the large cities on the coast, and is still chugging along. Although days on market have lengthened from last year, and there are 33% more homes for sale, and prices are drifting downward from 25% appreciation levels in some neighborhoods, it has just begun to be a buyer's market.

appreciation: San Antonio summer market report - 08/05/07 06:07 PM

Another reason for the decrease in buyers is that fewer investors and second-home buyers … (2 comments)

appreciation: Northwest vs. northeast San Antonio - 05/23/07 10:13 AM
As a Realtor specializing in rental properties for investors, I spend a lot of time looking at market data on both sales and rentals, both price and days on market, for properties offering comparable features. I compare the sales price to typical rental rates in various neighborhoods, looking for cash flow. Over the last couple of years, I've found that prices for homes in the North East school district, which covers north-central and -east San Antonio, to be a bit lower than they were last year. Several neighborhoods look as if they'd be good prospects for rental investment.One of the most important … (5 comments)
