iTexas Realty Co. Blog: December 2010

After a long day of exploring El Morro in Puerto Rico( walking from the pier up the long walk by the centuries-old sea-wall and across the beautiful acres and over to the fort of San Cristobal),  I am enjoying the most glorious, quiet evening. From my vantage point- on the highest deck, I can see the lights of port fade away and hear music in a distant venue - just far enough away to accentuate the relative silence.  Rare is the time to reflect after a day of beauty.  It's one of those gifts that you can give to yourself. 

It makes me wonder: What gift will you give to yourself this holiday season; even if only for a moment?

Well, we've just entered into the month of December and if you've been over at the malls or The Shops at La Cantera, you've noticed that the San Antonio Christmas shopping season is hot and has been for a couple weeks now.

On the housing front, shopping is quite a bit slower. In fact, it's almost nonexistent.  But don't be discouraged, this is very typical for the month of December - and the good news that we've been hearing from the media (finally), coupled with the low interest rate has prospective Buyers talking about beginning their home shopping just about the first or second week of January.

This recent market has been very challenging for sellers, but hang in there as serious spring Buyers should be right around the corner. So please enjoy all the holidays have to offer. Bake some cookies, have some friends over give up vacuuming for the day.

--Of course, if you don't vacuum, you may get a call with a showing request!  

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. It's a wonderful season of joy!
