Purchasing a San Antonio High-Rise Condo

The San Antonio luxury home market is alive and fairly well, but nowhere near as hot a market as in the days prior to the country’s financial downturn. The federal tax credit incentives for new and move up home buyers isn’t expected to have much of an impact on the luxury market, since buyers at that level ( $500k + ) would usually not base a buy or not buy decision on the current home buying tax credits now in place.

As resale home buyers see listing prices slowly beginning to rise in the first quarter of 2010, sales in the $200k price range are beginning to perk up considerably this spring, spurred on by federal tax incentives and very attractive buyer’s market conditions. However, for the most part, luxury properties in the San Antonio area are still experiencing much longer than average time on the market then more moderately priced properties.
