March 2024

Dear Kam,

As March arrives, it brings with it the promise of new beginnings and the sweet scent of spring in the air. With longer days and warmer weather on the horizon, it's the perfect time to embrace fresh opportunities in the real estate market and in our vibrant community.

In this month's newsletter, we're excited to bring you the latest insights, trends, and updates from the Boerne/Fair Oaks Ranch real estate scene. Whether you're considering buying, selling, or simply curious about the market, we're here to provide you with valuable information and guidance every step of the way.

From tips on preparing your home for sale to highlights of upcoming local events and happenings, we've curated a selection of content to keep you informed and inspired.

Plus, don't miss out on our featured listings and recent sales, showcasing the diverse range of properties available in our area.

Here's a handy checklist for homeowners to tackle in March:

1. Inspect and Clean Gutters: With spring showers on the way, ensure your gutters are clear of debris to prevent water damage to your home.
2. Service HVAC Systems: Schedule a professional maintenance check for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to ensure optimal performance as temperatures start to rise.
3. Check for Roof Damage: Inspect your roof for any signs of damage or wear and tear from winter weather. Addressing issues early can prevent leaks and costly repairs down the line.
4. Prune Trees and Shrubs: Trim back overgrown branches and shrubs to promote healthy growth and prevent damage to your home's exterior.
5. Inspect Outdoor Faucets and Sprinkler Systems: Check for leaks or damage to outdoor faucets and irrigation systems, and make any necessary repairs before water usage increases in the warmer months.
6. Inspect Exterior Paint and Siding: Look for peeling paint, cracks, or signs of moisture damage on your home's exterior. Touch up paint and repair any damaged siding to protect against the elements.
7. Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order by testing them and replacing batteries as needed.
8. Plan Spring Landscaping: Start planning and preparing your garden beds, flower pots, and landscaping projects for the upcoming season. Clear out debris, apply mulch, and consider planting new flowers or vegetables to enjoy throughout the spring and summer.

By completing these tasks in March, you can help maintain your home's safety, comfort, and curb appeal as we transition into the warmer months ahead.

Currently, we have a 3.73 months supply of inventory in Boerne, Texas. This means that if no new homes were listed, it would take just under four months to sell all the existing homes on the market. That's down from last month which has us leaning a little more towards a Seller's Market.

In Boerne, sellers are receiving an average of 96.5% of their list price when their homes are sold. And, the median days on market is currently 70 days, which is about 2 weeks longer than we saw last month.
