🏚️ “The Market's Slipping... Are We Too Late to Sell?”

It’s a down real estate market but not all is lost if you market your home correctly.

How Boerne & Fair Oaks Ranch Homeowners Can Still Come Out Ahead in a Tough Market

If you're a homeowner in Boerne or Fair Oaks Ranch, you've probably asked yourself recently:

“Did we miss the peak?”
“Is it too risky to sell now?”
“What if no one buys our home?”

You're not alone. Across the 78006 and 78015 zip codes, more and more homes are sitting longer, selling for less, or not selling at all. It’s a situation that feels uncertain, frustrating, and for many—financially dangerous.

But here’s the truth no one’s telling you loud enough:

This market is hard—but it’s not hopeless. And with the right strategy, you can still win.

📉 Let’s Talk About What’s Really Going On

Here’s what the data says:

  • 🕒 Homes are sitting longer: Average time on market is now 87 days across Bexar and surrounding counties—the slowest since 2013.

  • 💸 Sales are down: 7.4% fewer homes sold this year compared to last.

  • 🏘️ Inventory has quadrupled: From just 1.2 months in early 2024 to 5.09 months in March 2025.

  • 🏷️ Buyers have leverage: 87.5% of Fair Oaks Ranch homes and 70.5% of Boerne homes are selling below asking price.

  • 📈 Mortgage rates remain high: 6–7%, doubling what buyers paid just a few years ago.

Translation? Buyers are picky, nervous, and taking their time. And many sellers are left feeling like they’re chasing a moving target.

😟 What Homeowners Are Thinking (Maybe You Too…)

You may be thinking:

  • “We’ll just wait until interest rates drop.”

  • “We could rent it out for now.”

  • “I don’t want to cut the price—we’ve put too much into this house.”

  • “Let’s ask my cousin’s friend who just got their real estate license…”

❗ But waiting too long—or hiring the wrong agent—can cost you far more in the long run.

🧠 The Reality: Playing Defense Won’t Sell Your Home

Let’s be honest: most agents will simply stick a sign in your yard, list it on the MLS, and hope someone calls. That approach doesn’t cut it in this market.

Instead, you need a proactive strategy—one that makes your home stand out to the right buyers, in the right markets, with the right messaging.

💡 Here’s What Actually Works (And Why I Do It Differently)

Targeted Marketing to California Buyers
Most agents in Texas don’t have a network of over 1,100 California real estate agents who are already working with clients eager to move here. I do.

Why it matters:
🔑 California sellers often have enough equity to buy in cash—no financing delays, no high interest rate issues.

Professional Presentation
High-end photos. Virtual tours. Strategic staging. Your home won’t just be “on the market”—it will be the one buyers fall in love with online.

Smart Pricing Strategy
We'll position your home to attract interest, not sit stale. And yes, we can do that without slashing your price.

Incentives that Seal the Deal
From covering closing costs to rate buy-downs, I know how to structure offers that push buyers off the fence—without costing you more than necessary.

🚪 Picture This…

You list your home with confidence.
You don’t waste months wondering why no one’s biting.
You don’t settle for a lowball offer.
You move on to your next chapter—downsized, stress-free, and financially stronger.

Sound like a dream? It’s not. It’s what I do for sellers like you every day. 🏡✨
