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.

San Antonio Neighborhoods With the Most Home Sales

January 15, 2016 by khproperties Leave a Comment

San Antonio Neighborhoods

Everyone wants to know the best San Antonio neighborhoods to live in. Of course, any thought on that is pretty subjective, what I like may not be what you like. There are a lot of choices out there – from gated neighborhoods to quiet tree-lined streets, from the resurgence of downtown to the suburban life in Stone Oak – everyone likes something different. Since there are so many different opinions on what makes a neighborhood desirable, we turn to data to get a feel for the pulse of the city and what people are looking for when considering where to live in San Antonio.

As you can see, there is a wide range of neighborhoods, covering many different areas of the city (and beyond). It really goes to show just how much the phrase “real estate is local” is important. While national numbers may paint one picture of housing, a state or citywide look may paint another, and even more importantly, neighborhoods can vary greatly. Just in the San Antonio neighborhoods we’ve talked about here, we’ve seen everything from a 0.1% increase in average price per square foot to a 44.1% increase – that’s a huge difference. So next time you hear the news of this decline or that increase, know that what’s happening in your neighborhood might be completely different. If you’re thinking about selling your home or purchasing a new one, call your real estate agent and talk to them about the local market conditions. With a firm footing in what’s actually happening in your area, you can make informed decisions about buying and selling your home.

Top 5 Neighborhoods in San Antonio

December 30, 2015 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Top Five Neighborhoods

As the end of the year approaches, we were wondering what the top 5 neighborhoods in San Antonio were, based on the amount of searches of homes for sale conducted by our visitors. Some of the results were expected, but a few neighborhoods popped up that we didn’t expect. While these searches don’t necessarily indicate sales in the neighborhoods, they do show that people are interested in learning more about these neighborhoods and the homes available for sale within them. If you have a home for sale in one of these neighborhoods, you’ll be glad to know it’s getting lots of exposure here on our website. So let’s take a look at the top 5 neighborhoods in San Antonio, shall we?

Top 5 Neighborhoods in San Antonio

#5 – Terra Mont – Nestled in the hills north of 1604 off of Blanco Road, Terra Mont has some absolutely stunning homes. With plenty of lots still available, it’s also one of those places that you can imagine yourself building the perfect dream home.

#4 – Reserves at The Heights at Stone Oak – This neighborhood ranking so high came as a bit of a surprise. There are some terrific houses in the neighborhood though, so we can see why visitors wanted to know more.

#3 – Ridge at Lookout Canyon – This one was another one of the surprises on the list, because it is such a small, specific search. The neighborhoods of Lookout Canyon ranked up there as well, but this one beat out all the rest.

#2 – The Dominion – Everyone loves The Dominion. Home to some of San Antonio’s most famous names, The Dominion is what luxury neighborhoods are all about.

#1 – Canyon Springs – Canyon Springs, and its many subdivisions, popped up more than any other neighborhood in San Antonio. There’s a lot to choose from and we’ve talked a lot about this neighborhood on our website, so it’s no surprise that it landed the top spot.

Nextdoor: A Social Network for Your Neighborhood

May 8, 2014 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Two Doors

Nextdoor Aims to Bring Neighborhoods Together Online

Nextdoor is a new online community focused on bringing neighborhoods together. The idea is simple, every neighborhood gets their own private site, where they can share and communicate about things local to their neighborhood. By connecting neighbors in an online space, communities can help each other with recommendations, stay safe and alert each other to crime in the area, and discuss issues that matter to them. There have been attempts at this in the past, but because the neighborhoods were not monitored, they often quickly became targets of spammers. Nextdoor alleviates that problem by making the websites private (and content is not searchable through Google) and password protected, plus they verify residency of members of a neighborhood. By doing this, they can keep the unwanted element of marketers and spammers out of the picture.

Watch the Nextdoor video for an overview of the thinking behind this new way to connect neighborhoods.
