It sounds crazy, but I'm so glad that Fiesta is finito for the year!
Every April around this time, we see showings pull back dramatically and that's can be a bit discouraging to Sellers. If Buyers are in town, they're at the Riverwalk and environs. If they are coming to San Antonio they probably can't get an appointment with their agent and moved their house-hunting trip to another week!
Speaking of another week; that all there is left - only a few days until Friday, April 30th for Buyers to get homes under contract in time for the Tax Credit (they still have until June 30th to get closed. The hottest price range is under $200,000., and it will be nice to see those homes out of the market inventory.
As soon as those homes are out of their Option Periods (unrestricted right to cancel - it's a Texas thing...), many of those Sellers will be out trying to get their "move-up" home under contract. That's where the majority of our Sellers come in. They have "move-up" homes. Hang in there - Move-up Buyers, During-Summer-Vacation Buyers and those relocating with the Military are yet to come.
To top it off, interest rates just dipped below 5%. Wow!
Have a great week!
