Top 10 Posts at Kimberly Howell Properties for 2016

December 15, 2016 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Top 10 Posts at Kimberly Howell Properties 2016

Every year, we look back to see what the Top 10 Posts of the year were for the website. Some stalwarts always remain, but the old make way for the new and this year, we find quite a few newer posts making the list of the Top 10 Posts at Kimberly Howell Properties for 2016. We encourage you to read some of the posts you may have missed and let us know what your favorite posts were – both on this list and off. Drop by in the comments below or head over to the Kimberly Howell Properties Facebook Page and leave a comment there. In the meantime, we’ll continue seeking out great topics and writing all about real estate in San Antonio and surrounding areas. See you soon…

Top 10 Posts in 2016

#10 – Construction Loans, Lot Loans, and Interim Loans – Written by agent Linda Mosse, this post first appeared back in 2013, but continues to be one that people turn to when they need information about lot, interim, or construction loans.

#9 – Title Commitment vs. Title Policy – Which One is Which? – We found that many people didn’t know the difference between a title policy and a title commitment, so we decided to provide some information on both to help.

#8 – Closing on a Home While You’re Out of Town? – What do you do when the boss tells you that you need to be out of town on the day your home is going to close? This post gives you the answers.

#7 – Buyer Representation Agreement: A Closer Look at Contracts – An older post about the Buyer Representation Agreement, this post helped start our regular feature of breaking down some of the forms we use in real estate to help you understand them before you’re sitting in front of one with a pen in your hand.

#6 – Who Pays For the Survey? – In a residential contract, there are several choices as to who pays for the survey, but there are also some performance items that are tied into some of these…miss a timeline and the survey may be paid for by someone other than who you expected.

#5 – The Option Period: Termination and Timelines – The option period is easily one of the greatest tools for a buyer in a real estate contract and with this post, we show you how it all works.

#4 – Third Party Financing Addendum for Credit Approval – Real Estate Contracts – We have written a newer version of this post, but this one remains popular. It now contains a link to the newer post so that you’re getting the most up to date information.

#3 – Flood Zones and FEMA Mapping – No one likes to hear the dreaded words “flood zone,” but they do exist here in San Antonio and you need to be aware of them and what they mean for you.

#2 – What’s a T-47 and Why Do I Need One? – The T-47 is probably the most misunderstood form in real estate. We break down the form and why it’s used in this post from earlier this year.

#1 – What If Your Property Survey is Incorrect? – This one generated a lot of discussion in the comments and it appears that incorrect surveys are more common than you would think. Know what to do if you suspect your survey is wrong and how you can go about getting it corrected.

So there it is, this year’s Top 10 Posts list. What would you have put on it? What were your favorites? What posts will come along next year to compete with these articles? You’ll have to stick around to find out…

Top 10 Neighborhood Searches at Kimberly Howell Properties in 2016

December 12, 2016 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Top 10 Neighborhood Searches at Kimberly Howell Properties 2016

When it comes to real estate, we all want to know the same thing – what’s the neighborhood like and what’s for sale in the area. We spend countless hours online researching neighborhoods and homes, often long before we ever step foot in a house or speak with a Realtor. It’s the age of the online home search and we at Kimberly Howell Properties have dedicated ourselves to bringing you a website that provides that information and gives you the latest homes for sale so that you can do your research on the neighborhoods and areas that interest you. The following list of neighborhood searches are compiled from data gathered in 2016 and represent the neighborhoods that our visitors had the most interest in throughout the year.

Top 10 Neighborhood Searches in 2016

#10 – Knolls of Woodlake – Just down the road from #9 in our neighborhood searches, it’s easy to see why these two neighborhoods rank so closely.

#9 – Walzem Farms – Coming in from the city’s northeast side, Walzem Farms is right between Fort Sam Houston and Randolph Air Force Base, making it convenient to those needing access to military bases.

#8 – Ridge at Canyon Springs – With a variety of homesites available for new construction and plenty of new homes to choose from, it’s no surprise that Ridge at Canyon Springs made the list. All of the Canyon Springs neighborhoods ranked well throughout 2016 and have been know to take top spots in years past.

#7 – Deerfield – Deerfield will always rank high on neighborhood searches, because of its location and wide selection of homes to choose from.

#6 – Bear Springs Ranch – A bit of a surprise with this one as most of the top neighborhood searches tend to be within San Antonio, but this area of Mico has proven to be popular this year. There is also high interest in the lots for sale in Bear Springs Ranch.

#5 – Encino Park – Encino Park is both a specific subdivision as well as the more widely used term for multiple neighborhoods in the area. We found that more people visited this page, which covers all of the homes for sale in the neighborhoods that make up Encino Park and has information about local businesses, the schools, and living in the area.

#4 – Canyons at Scenic Loop – We also noted a lot of traffic for the page showing just lots for sale in Canyons at Scenic Loop, but it fell just short of making the Top 10 list.

#3 – Shavano Creek – Who wouldn’t want to look at the homes for sale in Shavano Creek? They’re gorgeous homes with incredible landscaping and are always at the top of the list for neighborhood searches.

#2 – Rogers Ranch – Rogers Ranch covers a wide array of neighborhoods all in one master planned community. Community info, school info, and homes for sale can all be found on this page.

#1 – Mesas at Canyon Springs – This neighborhood took the top spot, but we also saw a lot of interest in the more generalized neighborhood of Canyon Springs (which encompasses all of the subdivisions in one page along with information about the area, schools, and local builders involved in the neighborhood).

What neighborhoods did you have an interest in this year? What neighborhoods were top spots for sales? Where do you want to live? We look forward to showing you neighborhoods are across the area through our coverage of neighborhoods as well as the many homes listed throughout the year. If there’s a specific neighborhood that you’d like to learn about and see highlighted on this website, let us know.
