I have been doing some new marketing work for a client of ours that has sites all over the U.S. Currently he has us doing some tweaking and finishing out of his site on San Antonio Real Estate. As I have been doing some basic research on the market (which you have to do to serve your client well), I have discovered that San Antonio is really a hidden gem in the market.

In Texas we are bless right now with a much more stable market then most other parts of the United States. While we never had the huge appreciation that markets like the east and west coast have, the other side is that we have not had the 20% or greater drops in the past year some other markets have. Texas real estate is a lot like "long term income stock", we don't have the huge returns of those mid cap growth stocks but we are steady and we seldom see a really big drop.

San Antonio though is continuing to not only improve while other sectors lag, it is actually thriving. Like much of Texas it is being fueled by the over all growth of the state but other factors are making San Antonio excel as well. Chief amoung them are factors such as...

• Low risk of weather damage, San Antonio doesn't have the tornado threat much of the rest of the state does and hurricanes have no real impact on the area.
• It is still pretty close to the coast, you can be in Corpus Christi on some great beaches in about a half a days drive.
• There is plenty of growth and opportunity in the San Antonio market.
• There are great attractions like the River Walk, the Alamo and SeaWorld
