Sales gains for lowcost homes in San Antonio
February 12, 2010
Low priced homes made real market gains over 2008. Large positive changes occurred in the under $30,000 and $30-$39,999 price ranges. These were double digit gains in number of sales. There was also a 4 percent increase in number of sales for homes between $180,000 and $199,999. Two other categories showed positive increases, but those sales changes were under one percent, which translates to one home sale making a difference.
