April stats are in from the San Antonio Board of Realtors and the good news continues for the San Antonio market.

Average home price in April, 2011 was $181,016, a 4% increase over the same month last year! Median price was $147,700, a 3% increase over April, 2010!

Several SABOR members, myself included, recently returned from a week in Washington, DC to attend midyear meetings of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and several Realtor organizations. Again, we all came home feeling so fortunate to call San Antonio and Texas home!

You’ve probably heard the NAR tagline, “Real Estate is local,” and being at these meetings just proves how true that is! San Antonio continues to buck the national trend with our increasing home values, still-affordable prices, and low percentage of foreclosures, short sales, and other distressed properties.

San Antonio is seeing job growth and other positive signs. Interest rates remain low and inventory numbers are manageable. San Antonio is the place to be!!

Our busy season is upon us now, so, buyers, it’s time to get off the fence, and, sellers, to put your best feet forward! Our market is active and homes are affordable.

Call me today and let’s get you moving! I’m at 210-363-9282 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 210-363-9282 end_of_the_skype_highlighting, and looking forward to hearing from you!

All the best,
