san antonio: Don'ts of Visiting San Antonio
- 12/21/22 11:18 AM
Although the video is titled "San Antonio: The Don'ts of Visiting San Antonio", there are lots of things to do. Guess I'm feeling nostalgic as we moved to San Antonio twenty-five years ago. I've lived here longer than any other city and it's still my favorite place to live. It would be nice to have professional football here considering the size of population here but it's still a great place to me. So if you would like information about San Antonio or the nearby area, call me. If I don't know the answer, I can probably help you find an answer. ; … (4 comments)

san antonio: San Antonio Property Taxes Going Up in 2016
- 05/08/16 03:48 AM
San Antonio Property Taxes Going Up in 2016 San Antonio property taxes going up in 2016 for most residential property owners. Bexar County Appraisal District released the estimated tax bill information to property owners over the past few days. Lots of negative reaction in news reports about how citizens are feeling about the additional money that will need be paid for the tax increase. See "Are San Antonio Property Taxes Outrageous?"
I think some of the terminology used by the Appraisal District contributes to citizen's negative reactions. For a residential property, the building or home is listed as an "improvement". Land without a structure is … (8 comments)

- 09/28/14 01:36 AM
West of San Antonio there are still cotton farms. This farm is about thirty miles from downtown San Antonio. It is in Medina County Texas. In the not too distant past, cotton was known as King Cotton. So much of the economy of southern states was dependent on the growing and sale of cotton. Before the machine age, it took thousands of workers to handle the planting and harvesting of the crops. The development of machines to handle much of the manual labor reduced the need some of back breaking work on cotton farms. Additionally the creation of sythetic materials … (14 comments)

An Interesting Rest Stop on Texas IH-35 Two interesting rest stops are located on Texas IH-35 between Dallas/Fort Worth and Waco. They are around mile marker 281/282, depending if you're going north or south. Yolanda Gilbert created a post earlier this week highlighting some European windmills. The windmill concept and other farm implements are used in the design of these rest stops. These rest stops opened late last year are are a big improvement of what used to pass for rest stops. These stops are well lit, clean, and monitored by on staff attendants and video feeds provide additional sets of eyes. … (10 comments)

san antonio: Are Homes in San Antonio Selling Over Asking Price?
- 06/24/13 04:19 AM
Are Homes in San Antonio Selling Over Asking Price? The short answer is some, but not many are selling over asking price in San Antonio. Now my sample size is not statistically valid for research purposes. But I think it's a good indicator of the relationship between asking price and sales price over a pretty wide range of homes in the San Antonio area of the past thirty-days (30). Here is how I obtained the sample- Selected homes whose sales price were exactly $50,000, and $100,000 and increasing increments of $100,000 up to $800,000. Observered original sales price, sales price at time … (12 comments)

san antonio: Market Activity Report (Timberwood Park)
- 04/03/09 03:05 PM
Maybe the combination of lower of gas prices, from the historic highs of last year, and the hope that the stimulus packages, and bailouts will make things better are helping us see a boost in real estate activity in the Timberwood Park area. I know many of the people I worked with last year wanted to find homes inside Loop 1604 becasue of fuel prices and commuting time. That really slowed activity for me in Stone Oak, Bulverde Road corridor, and Timberwood Park. Things are looking better in 2009. Of course, many are concerned about employment, and if the economic recovery is going to … (0 comments)
