A Starter Home in San Antonio TX

What is a starter home in San Antonio TX?

Typically, a starter home is defined as an affordable home that can be purchased by a first-time home buyer. A starter home is usually priced below the median priced home in the area. A starter home will usually be smaller than the average size home in the area.

REALTOR.COM has a great definition for starter homes. See it here.

There can be differences in starter homes. For example, if you just graduated and are getting your first full-time job, your starter home will likely differ from someone signed up for a spot on the Spurs or someone hitting it big on an entertainment contract.. 

The home pictured, above, can be considered a starter home. Located at 6214 Higbee Mill, 78247. Although at a bit over 1,700 square feet, it is larger that most starter homes in the area.
