When pricing and presentation align, the market responds -
55 showings in 16 days.
That level of activity on a property doesn’t happen by accident. It takes a strategic pricing strategy grounded in real appraisal data, paired with presentation that lets a home’s character speak for itself.
We are thrilled to share that this iconic Colonial Hills landmark is officially UNDER CONTRACT with an agreement that serves both buyer and seller.
Blending Spanish Mission architecture with Mid-Century Modern design, this home is a piece of San Antonio history. Situated on a .38-acre lot backing to the Jackson Ranch National Historic Landmark, it’s a property that simply cannot be replicated.
Proper pricing isn’t about guessing—it’s about understanding true market value and positioning a home to win. Congratulations to our seller and the buyers!

Nate attended the Wimberley Chamber of Commerce State of the City luncheon last week, listening to Mayor Jim Chiles share updates on where the town is heading.
A few broad takeaways that stand out:
Wimberley remains one of only four cities in Texas without a city property tax, operating strictly on sales, park, and lodging revenues.
Tourism and day trips into the Wimberley Valley are steadily climbing year over year, bringing strong economic energy to local businesses and the Hotel and Occupancy Tax fund.
Like many growing Hill Country towns, infrastructure needs are front and center. Managing capital improvements, like roads, while preserving the no property tax will require a careful balancing act. The city is actively seeking grant money to fund some of the improvements at this time, instead of seeking bonds.
From a real estate market perspective, this tells a clear story: Wimberley isn’t trying to become another dense, sprawling master-planned development. It is intentionally positioning itself as a low-tax, high-amenity Hill Country enclave that thrives on remaining a small town tourist destination.
When you limit new residential expansion while regional demand stays high, you create long-term stability for property values—though it also means navigating a tighter, more selective buyer pool. As Central Texas continues to grow, understanding hyper-local micro-dynamics is what keeps you ahead, whether you are buying, selling, or holding.

Looking for a place that doesn’t feel cookie cutter? Out of all the towns in the Texas Hill Country, Wimberley displays the most creative of residences. The small town between Austin and San Antonio traditionally attracts artists, tourists, and families looking to get away from it all. Here are a couple examples of current listings that showcase some of the unique style that’s available here: one with many custom Mexican imports with architectural style borrowed from both the Sistine Chapel and Japanese gardens, and another with that camp-style feeling built with a lot of (literal) heart. See stories for more, and call us if you feel drawn to this type of lifestyle! We would be happy to show you around this charming community.
