Boerne is part of the IH-10 corridor which has consistently outperformed most of the San Antonio MSA in appreciation during the last 10 years. During that period it has become one of the most expensive sectors of our local real estate market as many more people are discovering its charm, lifestyle and convenience. A few new subdivisions are currently in the offering stage and provide opportunities which did not previously exist. Custom building has slowed somewhat. Lot availability is improving. Inventory is about 20% higher than a year ago and sales are off about 15% creating short term opportunities. Prices are holding steady but are off about 3% from a year ago. Builders are currently offering modest incentives on inventory homes as well as dirt sales. Historically low interest rates and Government incentives have induced some fence sitters to get in the game and sales are gently rising in the under $300k price range. My call for Boerne: The current opportunity for a buyer's market will continue through 2009. As the national job market recovers confidence should be restored and further improve home sales in Boerne.
If your finances are in order and your employment is stable, then what are you waiting for? You could be kicking yourself for missing out on one of the best buyers markets in the USA in decades.

About David & Mary Bowman:
In 1976 my first home appreciated as much as my wages. (If that doesn’t excite you then quit reading and please go elsewhere) From then on I’ve been sold on real estate. Every market cycles up and down but real estate has historically outperformed almost every other financial market. I never have to sell anyone on the concept; everyone wants to own real estate.
Like many services there are two components to transacting real estate; Product and Process. Product is the real estate itself. Most people are happy with the property they purchase. It’s the Process they have to go through to get it that can frustrate and disappoint. (It’s like an experience with your dentist; you like the result after they’re finished, but the Process may be a bit unsettling) Whether dentistry or real estate, a skillful practitioner can go a long way to limit your discomfort by doing two things. The first is to prepare you by providing a proper expectation of typical issues you will face in the proposed transaction and help you keep them in the context of “what’s normal”. The second is to build and execute a solid strategy or plan to help you accomplish your goals. This plan is usually developed together once you’ve determined the practitioner is both skilled to represent you in the process and can be trusted to place your interest above all other interests that pertain to the transaction.
Most of us have an idea of the Product we intend to purchase. But as we get closer to it, we discover issues we had not envisioned and our plans are altered to reflect the new data. While this dynamic is present in nearly all real estate transactions a practitioner with exceptional Product knowledge can save you time and frustration by reducing energies expended on unfruitful home searching.
The Process is the implementation of the plan by the practitioner within the environs of their “system of operations”. (Assuming they have one) This system of operations is the consummate organization of their business acumen acquired through experience. This is where brokerage services differ greatly. This system of operations serves as a format for the broker to monitor repetitive details of each transaction allowing them to focus their energies on the task at hand during every phase of your transaction. As Steven Covey puts it “people are effective…systems are efficient.” That’s why I’ve built systems into my business model that are designed to eliminate repetitive miscues and protect my client’s interests.
So ask yourself “what’s important about this next real estate transaction?” Is it important enough to have an experienced professional at your side?
