As the new school year looms on the horizon, it's time to dust off those backpacks and sharpen those pencils—figuratively and literally. And what better way to kick off your back-to-school prep than with a Texas Tax-Free Weekend shopping spree? Yes, folks, this weekend is your golden opportunity to snag all the essentials without breaking the bank. 

To ensure a smooth transition into the school year, a little planning goes a long way. Involve your kids in picking out their supplies to ramp up the excitement. Nothing says “I’m ready to learn” like a sparkly new notebook chosen with care.

As you navigate the aisles and dodge shopping carts, remember that this weekend isn’t just about saving money; it’s about setting the stage for a successful school year. And hey, it’s also about seeing how many items your kids can convince you to buy “for educational purposes.”

To all the teachers, students, and families out there, I wish you a safe and spectacular school year! And if you’re considering a move to find a home that better suits your needs or lands in a different school district, I’m here to help you make that transition as smooth as possible. Just let me know when you’re ready to start the search!

Happy shopping and happy new school year!


MARKET REPORT  - JULY 2024

July was a steady month for real estate sales in San Angelo. Looking at July for residential home sales only.. There were 145 sales for an average sales price of 294k. The average price per foot was $155 and days on market was 84. There was one assumable loan, 24 cash sales, 61 conventional loans, 31 FHA and 27 VA loans. 

Through August 6th, we are sitting at 1111 sales for the year. This is off about 90 sales and 20 million in closed volume from 2023. I believe as interest rates continue to come down things will pick up the rest of the year and we could catch the numbers from 2023. 

There are 463 homes for sale plus another 168 under contract in San Angelo. Here is a breakdown of price ranges as well as a link to check them out.
