Cascada at Canyon Lake

According to the developer Bron Leatham of Stadler & Leatham Development, “At Cascada at Canyon Lake, we’re striving to set the community apart by providing homeowners with the amenities they have become accustomed to living with in town, while still enjoying all benefits of the Texas Hill Country.”

To set themselves apart, Cascada has included in their community such amenities as: underground utilities, paved streets with curbs, gutters, sidewalks and street lights. The entrance to the neighborhood will have a gated guardhouse complete with lush landscaping and a waterfall. Residents will be able to enjoy the fastest bandwidth available for their communication needs with fiber optics provided by GVTC, a service not available in many cities. To enjoy the beauty of the Hill Country, the development also has of hike and bike trails, including trails through over one mile of creek front parks.

The neighborhood also features a community center nestled in a meadow next to the development’s signature live water creek where the Bridal Vail Falls cascade over the cliffs. Residents of Cascada will be able to enjoy a variety of amenities here including an indoor sport court, outdoor pool, cabana and cooking area, playing fields, children’s playground and a sand volleyball court. The serene setting will make the perfect venue for residents to plan special events. The community center also features a full kitchen, stage and restroom facilities.

According to the San Antonio Express News, Builder Magazine has named San Antonio as one of the nation’s healthiest real estate markets. The magazine and Hanley Wood Market Intelligence looked at the 75 largest markets in the country to consider which were in the best shape using population trends, job growth, home prices and building permits as measures. Houston, Austin, Forth Worth, San Antonio and Dallas were named the top five cities in the country. Buyers are looking for more than just a pretty lot and considering the development as a whole to help protect their investment. Are there sensible restrictions to maintain the quality community that residents will enjoy and which will keep the property demand high well into the future? Developers, like Stadler & Leatham, who take these considerations to their developments, will continue to help buyers feel more secure about their investment.

Get ready for what could be the best real estate buying climate since the 1980s!

By Greg Oehler, broker/owner of GMAC Real Estate Fredericksburg

It is time to pick out a home! Get your credit and financial situation in order, get pre-approved, and put some rubber on the road. Prices and rates are down, Sellers are more anxious to deal, and now the politicians want to help get you off the couch.

Start your search for the perfect home by searching hundreds of available homes on the MLS.

According to the Wall Street Journal in an article posted February 9, 2009, a proposed tax credit of up to $15,000 for ALL buyers is included in a provision in the Senate version of the stimulus bill. This provision is aimed at those standing by with their hands in their pockets wanting to buy but who are reluctant to do so because of the possibility of further declines in value.

According to the WSJ, "The credit in the Senate provision is nonrefundable, which means that buyers can only claim the credit if they owe income taxes." Still, some believe that the tax credit will boost sales among first-time buyers and others who have been waiting on the side for an opportune time to jump in the market.

Interest rates are at low, attractive levels and that can amount to a significant difference over a 30-year loan's life. Given the huge amount of deficit spending by Congress, interest rates are very likely to increase once home sales catch on again and the economy is back on its feet. This really highlights the urgency.

As I have been saying lately, "One could delay buying until all the moon and stars line up market value-wise only to end up paying higher interest rates for 20-30 years if you wait!." As inflation inevitably kicks in, the late comers could not only be paying higher interest, but higher prices for the home as well.

Do not miss the boat. Get ready for what may be the best buying opportunity since the 1980s! If you're thinking about purchasing a home in Fredericksburg or the Texas Hill Country give us a call today at (830) 997-6123.


If you would like to experience Premier Service with your next real estate transaction, please contact one of our agents directly or give us a call at (830) 997-6123.

Greg Oehler and Don Brookshire of GMAC Real Estate Fredericksburg to receive Diamond Award for Premier Service

FREDERICKSBURG, TEXAS — Greg Oehler and Don Brookshire of GMAC Real Estate Fredericksburg are set to receive the Premier Service Diamond national award for providing superior customer service to home buyers and sellers in the Texas Hill Country.

The Premier Service Diamond award will be presented to Oehler and Brookshire by GMAC Home Services’ President and CEO John Bearden at the company’s national business conference in February.

“With our Premier Service program, buyers and sellers are asked to complete a survey evaluating the service they received,” Oehler, broker/owner of GMAC Real Estate Fredericksburg, said. “Once completed, the surveys are tabulated by an independent research firm and the results detail how we did.”

To qualify to become a Premier Service Diamond winner, Oehler and Brookshire had to receive a minimum 95% customer satisfaction rating based upon at least five returned surveys and maintain a minimum survey return rate of 30 percent.

Oehler, who founded GMAC Real Estate Fredericksburg as Gillespie Realty in 1994, said, “We strive to be your ‘objective’ source of credible information and give our customers the best service possible. This award is a reflection of that.”

Brookshire, who joined GMAC Real Estate Fredericksburg in the spring of 2007 after retiring from the Fredericksburg Independent School District, said, “I am happy to receive this award since it’s an independent rating based upon evaluations from those who matter most– my customers.”

Premier Service is one of the most comprehensive and effective customer-service programs in the real estate industry. Through the program, GMAC Real Estate’s agents, like Oehler and Brookshire, put in writing, up front, the services they will perform. Following the transaction, the agents ask their customers to honestly rate their performance through a written survey.

GMAC Real Estate Fredericksburg specializes in providing real estate services in Fredericksburg and the surrounding Hill Country and is located at 502 East Main Street in Fredericksburg. For additional information, go to www.FbgLiving.com.

If you would like to experience Premier Service with your next real estate transaction, please contact one of our agents directly or give us a call at (830) 997-6123.
