March 6th, 2009 categories: Assessing the Local Market
Real estate sales in Comfort, Texas during February were stronger than last year’s figures. There were 3 sales totaling just under $1.4 million which compares with 6 sales totaling just under $1.2 million during February 2008.
Two of the 3 sales were properties greater than 25 acres. In a rural area such as Comfort, properties with large acreages generally make up a large portion of the overall sales figures. Hopefully last month’s results indicates a change in the trend as sales of large acreages were off during most of 2008.
We are generally optimistic about Comfort for 2009. Several new “tourist destinations” are expected to make their home in the Comfort area … which should help the overall economy and the appeal of the area. Also, we believe the trend toward “small town” living will continue. Many people believe that Comfort is the first “true” small town in the Hill Country outside of San Antonio … so it has great appeal to those looking for that quaint, “All American”, small town feel.
The Hill Country is a great place to live … So, if Comfort is what you’re looking for, give us a call. We’d love to help you find your “Hill Country Dream Home.”
