Everytime you look at your portfolio, do you wince. Or like some of us have you quit looking at it, because it's to depressing. Everywhere I turn to listen on TV, Radio & Printed publications I'm told its time to get into real estate. I know, I know, I can hear you right now. But what about California, Arizona, the east coast. Well people its time to get out of there and move here!!! And Invest!
You will find that in San Antonio that home values continued to climb despite most of the rest of the country. In fact home appreciation for the last 12 months was 1.99% in San Antonio and an average of 3.34% over all for the State of Texas. Add in the fact that San Antonio was voted #3 in the United States by Forbes, Inc. for your best bet in a long term housing market. The reason Forbes gave for this is San Antonio Job creation growth & housing construction through 2017. San Antonio reported a 2.9% job growth for the last 12 months. WOW! So maybe things aren't so depressing.
So get out of the market and get into the market. Call your favorite realtor and start investing!!
OK, its getting closer. Only 23 days to Christmas, so get your shopping shoes on and come on over to Boerne, TX for one of the best craft fairs in Texas!! 3 Buildings of crafters and other people selling things you didn't know about, things that you had never tasted before and things for that impossible to buy for relative.

Have you been thinking that you would like to buy your first home, but your scared of the current market, well the truth is this is the time to buy if you have the right stuff (meaning credit). Loans are harder to get, but it also means that if you get one, you are more qualified then most people have been for the last decade.
Here are some facts hat you need before you even start the process of looking.
Learn what the benefits of owning a home vs renting. This really is a no brainer. The tax benefits alone will make owning your own home more cost efficient then renting. For most people the only financial future they have is in their home, this is a place where you will in most cases see your equity grow and give you a nice little nest egg.
Do you have the credit score that will help you get a loan? The best way to qualify this is to go to a mortgage loan officer and talk with them. The loan officer can help you decide what you can afford, if you can afford to buy now and even what you can do to improve your score or improve your ability by savings etc to get the home of your dream.
Through a loan officer you can get pre-qualified for a loan, but if you want the big guns working on your side when you go to make an offer on a home, get a pre-approval letter. This is a statement that says that you will be loaned the money by the institution that you have been talking to and it will tell you exactly how much you can spend on a home and still live within your budget.
Remember too that you are going to want to furnish that home and make it your own, so make sure that you keep some of your money back for that cute little sofa you saw down at the furniture store.
And last but certainly not least find a Realtor in your area, that knows your market and that has your best interest at heart.
The place to be on the Saturday after Thanksgiving is Comfort, TX, located just 10 miles north of Boerne in the Heart of the Texas Hill Country. This little town has a great big heart and one of the best parades around. The fun starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 29 and goes until 9 p.m. that night. This is their 23rd annual Christmas in Comfort.
High Street and 7th Street are lined with booths containing arts and crafts, gift items, and food. This is a great place to shop and gets you out of those crowded over priced malls. Live music is played all day long. And Santa will be there to take pictures with the kiddos. There will be a petting zoo, also. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, Comfort's spectacular evening parade.
So when the company starts getting stale at your house and the turkey is all gone, head on over to Comfort for some really good food, great times and great shopping.
Your Realtors for Life! Serving Boerne, New Braunfels, Bandera, the Texas Hill Country and San Antonio.

"Thank you for all the hard work you put into selling my house. You had an awesome packet put together before you even started selling the house. The pictures were the best I have seen; and not to mention there was a contract for a buyer 5 days after it was put on the market! We couldn't have asked for more! You even found an incredible house for us to move into! Thank you again for all you have done for us!"
-Steve "Cowboy" & Terry Gross
"The Boehm Team represented us when we purchased a second home in Horseshoe Bay. We wanted to move quickly, so she took time to understand what we were looking for and only took us to view properties that fit our criteria. They were professional and extremely responsive to our questions and any issues that came up throughout the process. We would do business with them again in a heartbeat and refer them to all of our friends!"
-Chris Urbanek
"They say that moving is the second most stressful occurrence in life, but thanks to Amy Boehm, selling our home was easy. It was evident that Amy had a good handle on managing the sales process from the beginning with great recommendations to prepare our home to sell and we could not have been more pleased with the marketing strategy used as the volume of interested buyers was great. Thanks to Amy Boehm, selling our home was a fast, efficient, and simple process."
-Kris Ryan
"I recently found myself in the market for a second home and selecting Jennifer Beaudet as my realtor was one of the greatest choices I've ever made. Finding the right property was effortless and we had an accepted offer within days. Jen then went to work securing a quick close date and continued to follow up daily on the progress we were making. The personal attention I received was absolutely unbelievable. At times, it seemed as if I was her only client. She remained right there with me every step of the way and certainly made the entire process enjoyable. Without hesitation, I would DEFINITELY recommend Jennifer Beaudet and the Boehm Team to anyone looking for real estate.
- Jon Ramsey
When we decided to move to a new area of San Antonio, My Boehm Team stepped in and made the transition a quick, easy and fun process!Within one week we had a contract on our new home and had sold our current one. Amy's expert knowledge of the market areas and value of homes ensured that we didn't waste a lot of time haggling over cost and worrying about closing the deals. We've recommended them to our friends and family....and we certainly plan to come back when we're ready for the next move!
