terrell hills homes: Five things I am grateful for in my real estate business
- 11/20/15 11:12 PM
The folks at Happy Grasshopper suggested a post about the five things I am grateful for, and it started me thinking. My real estate career in San Antonio is a huge part of my life. (Some might say too much!) It's not a hobby or a side business, it's a calling. And it's not a numbers game, it's all about people. So my list of five things I am grateful for is actually a list of people I am grateful to and for. First of all, I am grateful for two of my mentors: Pam and Rich O'Bryant. As experienced agents, they conducted … (6 comments)
terrell hills homes: 5 extra things that help sell your home
- 08/12/15 11:11 PM
Selling your home? Here are five “extra” things, three of which you can do that you might not have thought of. And two factors you have no control over, but that you (or your agent) could highlight in your marketing:
1. Your “staged” front porch, patio, or deck A park bench on the front porch evokes a sense of community. A bistro set on the patio or balcony makes buyers dream of sipping morning lattes or afternoon margaritas while enjoying the fresh air. If you have any outdoor space, it pays to show it off. Even if you don’t have any outdoor furniture, … (4 comments)
terrell hills homes: The myth of the neighborhood expert
- 06/18/15 10:36 PM
Many sellers think it's important to find an agent who is a neighborhood expert to list their home for sale in San Antonio. Agents who farm particular areas tend to encourage that belief. But how important is it to be an expert on a particular neighborhood when listing a home for sale there? Twenty years ago, agents were the go-to sources of information on neighborhoods because there were few ways to get it other than walking around talking to residents. Agents would farm the neighborhoods they lived in or near and could pride themselves on selling several houses in the same community. Buyers … (30 comments)
terrell hills homes: Happy 2015! A good year for home sales?
- 01/03/15 11:53 PM
I heard on the radio last week that the real-estate market under-performed expectations in 2014. Then the same day I read that 2015 could see another bubble in the market. It's all local; prices and activity in one city experiencing an overheated market would signify a slow, buyers' market in another. In the San Antonio metro, 2014 was a good year for home sales. Traditionally, the city has not experienced the volatility of other markets in Texas, and this year was no different. According to figures from the San Antonio Board of REALTORS, the time on market never rose over 4.7 months, … (0 comments)
terrell hills homes: Significant six in San Antonio
- 07/20/14 11:43 PM
The significant number for the sixth month of the year is 6, for San Antonio home sales at least. The average sales price for a single-family home rose by 6 percent to a record high of $232,839 in June. Twelve months ago, the average price was $219,489, according to the June numbers from the San Antonio Board of Realtors. The number of days on market was 65, about the same as in May, but a 12 percent drop from last June. A little over half the sales in San Antonio have been of homes priced under $200,000, while those … (1 comments)
terrell hills homes: Fiesta San Antonio is over. Start planning for next year!
- 05/05/14 10:42 PM
San Antonio is known for the Alamo and its beautiful River Walk, which play starring roles in the annual Fiesta de San Antonio. Fiesta brings people from near and far, both locals and tourists, to join in such events as Night in Old San Antonio, featuring food and drink from local eateries and artisan brewers; the crowning of El Rey Feo (the Ugly King) of the Order of the Alamo; and numerous parades, concerts, and block parties. The Battle of Flowers parade is the most famous, and I have vivid memories of marching in it every year when I was in … (1 comments)
