In a world that is obsessed with constant, instant connections, Google Fiber is big news. This fiber-optic network has everyone talking because it promises the fastest Internet connection anyone has ever experienced, boasting speeds up to 100 times faster than the standard connections that most people are used to. Here's the exciting part: It's coming to San Antonio. As the largest city to enjoy the fiber-optic network, San Antonio is buzzing with excitement, and some experts are predicting that it could have a big impact on the already-booming housing market.

What Is Google Fiber?

Google Fiber is the Google broadband Internet service that uses fiber-optic cables rather than copper cables to fuel the Internet. Since these fiber-optic cables are capable of sending signals at far higher rates of speed than the standard cables, Google Fiber customers will enjoy speeds of up to 1,000 mbps. By comparison, other cable companies in San Antonio offer speeds at about 300 mbps or 400 mbps. In order to create the network, more than 4,000 miles of new fiber-optic cables will have to be implemented, bringing new jobs to the area as well. Rates have not been announced for the San Antonio market, but customers who opted for Google Fiber in Austin, Texas pay about $70 a month for Internet service and $130 per month for an Internet and TV bundle package.

How Could It Impact the Housing Market in San Antonio?

There's certainly excitement surrounding the impending arrival of Google Fiber in San Antonio, and it may have some people wondering whether they will see an increase in their property values. While the true impact on the market remains to be seen, it should be noted that a household that is ready or equipped for a fiber-optic network may be more marketable than a home without these connections. Home buyers today consider a lot of different factors about an individual property before making their decision, and more consumers than ever before are interested in super-fast Internet speeds that increase efficiency and productivity. Currently, Google Fiber is only offered in a few cities across the country, so there is an increased demand for it. That increase in demand and the excitement about the service in San Antonio could make your home more desirable to a potential buyer.

Google Fiber Across the Country

Google Fiber was launched in Kansas City, and it is now available in Austin, Provo, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Raleigh, Salt Lake City, and Durham. In nearby Austin, real estate experts were cautiously optimistic about the impact Google Fiber would have on the market. While it is certainly considered to be a unique selling feature, homeowners were warned that it would not add thousands of dollars to their property value. That being said, it is an upgraded infrastructure that many cities across the country are looking to include in their own towns. You can't deny that Google Fiber has the potential to change the market for the better.

Google Fiber is the broadband connection that people across the country are clamoring for, so it will certainly make San Antonio more appealing to young professionals and growing families who want to make the most out of the latest technology available. This is just one of the reasons why it's an exciting time to get into the market. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in San Antonio, then be sure to contact Liz Petroff today. As your local real estate expert, Liz will be able to help you find the house you want that offers the amenities you need in a location that is perfect for you.

These days, there's barely time to get a "For Sale" sign in the yard before a house is sold in San Antonio. Low inventory in this thriving real estate market has driven home prices up, and reduced the average number of days that a home spends on the market. In June 2015, the average sale price in San Antonio went up by 5 percent to $242,588 and homes spent an average of only 52 days on the market.

It's definitely a sellers' market in this city, and plenty of other markets across the country are experiencing the same symptoms.

This is great for home sellers, who will enjoy offers that are above asking price and will be able to sell their homes in a matter of days — or even hours. But what about the home buyers in a sellers' market? It might seem difficult to find a great house at a reasonable price in this type of market, but there are still many ways for interested home buyers to land amazing deals on wonderful homes.

5 Tips for Home Buyers in a Sellers' Market

• Get preapproved for a mortgage before you begin looking at homes. First of all, you will want to know what you can afford before you go looking at houses. Second, you will want to be able to prove to the sellers that you are a qualified buyer who will not have difficulty with financing. 
• Work with a real estate agent who is an expert in the local area. An experienced agent will know how to create an offer that will be desirable to a seller, but also beneficial to a buyer. A local agent understands the demands of the particular neighborhood you are shopping in, and also will be well-informed about the houses in that area. Not to mention, a qualified agent also knows how to get you into the best homes as quickly as possible and make sure your offer is the one that sellers cannot refuse.
• Know what you need, and identify what you want before you start house hunting. In a sellers' market, there's no time for being indecisive. Decide what size home you need, how many bedrooms you want, and what features you would love in your future house. Relay that list to your agent, and let them find the homes that match your qualifications.
• Recognize that you are going to have to offer asking price — or even higher. In a sellers' market, there are often multiple offers on a single property. This means that home buyers have to go above and beyond in order to make their offer stand out. There's not a lot of negotiating room when it comes to prices in a sellers' market.
• Be ready to move, and quickly. If you notice that a house goes on the market in the morning, you need to get into that property as soon as possible. If you like what you see, write an offer. You more than likely will be disappointed if you wait to make a decision, because the house will be gone.

It takes a knowledgeable, skilled agent to help home buyers get the home of their dreams in a sellers' market. Liz Petroff is an expert San Antonio real estate agent who has the experience that home buyers need in this lively sellers' market.

So you're ready to sell your home and find a new one that offers the best amenities that fit your lifestyle. Right now, you're probably concerned about how to set the list price for your home, which can influence the type of home you'll be buying. You may also be wondering whether or not you should sell your home immediately, or if renovating or updating the property could improve your potential for profit.

Determine Home Values by Understanding the Comparables

Before performing any renovations or slapping on a sales price, you need to ask the important question, "What is my home worth today?". You can't rely on what you paid for the home several months or years ago because home prices fluctuate based on several factors including the local housing market and whether any changes have been made to the home over the years.

Property valuation tools give you an instant estimate of how much your home is worth that you can use as a starting point in determining the sales price.

Find the value of your San Antonio home today!

Yet you shouldn't stop there. You also need to identify the comparables – homes similar to yours – that have recently sold in your area. Also known as "comps", these figures allow a seller to see how much buyers are willing to pay for homes in a specific neighborhood. The comps you want to use are similar to the size, location, age, and other characteristics of your home and that have recently sold in the past six months. More recent sales are the most desireable comps.

Knowing the comparables is important because they can help you understand the mindset of today's buyers, discover which amenities they want most, and determine how your home compares to these other properties. By understanding the value of your home, and knowing what buyers are paying for homes in your area, you can set a listing price that will entice buyers.

How to use Comparables to Your Advantage

Now that you've idetified the comps, you have to ask the important question, "How do I use the comps to find the value of my home?"

You can go take a look at these neighboring properties to see what features they have and don't have when comparing them to your own home. While your real estate agent might preview the comps, it isn't a bad idea to drive by homes or visit open houses with your agent so you can see what other sellers are offering to buyers. You may find that your home has better upgrades that will allow you to place it immediately on the market at a better price. You may also discover things that you would like to add to your home as you may hold off in marketing the property until after the renovations.

Depending on how active the local market is, another option to consider is a lower listing price than other homes for sale in an effort to get more offers than the competing properties to make a fast sale. For those homes that aren't selling, you can identify the reasons why they've been on the market for so long. This can help you avoid making the mistake of overpricing your own home.

Get the Value of Your San Antonio Home to Make the Right Real Estate Decisions

Determining the right sales price for your home is so important. Yet you have to take the necessary steps to get the actual value for your home using valuation tools and obtaining an in-depth Comparative Market Analysis report from a real estate agent knowledgeable about the San Antonio housing market. Then you can use all of the available information to make the best decisions about when it is the right time to list and how to market your home.

Back in January of this year, TopGolf announced its 7th location in Texas – TopGolf San Antonio. Since then, many of you have been watching construction progress on the 65,000-square-foot facility.

Although early reports indicated a Fall 2014 opening, TopGolf San Antonio is scheduled for an "Early 2015" open date. Adrienne Chance, senior communications manager for TopGolf, estimates late January 2015 barring unforeseen construction delays.

If you've never been to a TopGolf before, players hit golf balls from one of three levels. Each ball contains a computer microchip that tracks each shot’s accuracy and distance while also awarding points for hitting targets on the outfield. There are also over 230 high-definition flat-screen TVs and an extensive food and beverage menu.

For those of you who have experienced TopGolf in other markets, you are probably well-aware of their popularity. The economic output in San Antonio is expected to exceed $264.5 million over a 10-year-period.

TopGolf San Antonio will be located across I-10 from Six Flags Fiesta Texas and The Shops at La Cantera at the northwest corner of I-10 and Loop 1604 directly south of The Rim.

Noticed anything new along Loop 1604 between Stone Oak and Blanco? How about a new Trader Joe's in San Antonio? Reata Real Estate is developing a new 45,000 square foot shopping center called Sonterra Village. The highlight of this retail center will undoubtedly be the new 12,500 square foot Trader Joe's at the corner, which is its second store in San Antonio. It will be larger than the store it built at Quarry Village in 2012. According to the Trader Joe's website, store hours will be 8am - 9pm daily.

The official opening date for Trader Joe's at Sonterra Village is October 15th.

According to the Sonterra Village site plan [pdf] on Reata's website, some of the center's other tenants will include Zoe's Kitchen, Verizon Wireless, Waxing The City, El Chevichero Restaurant, Orange Theory Fitness, Camilla Crown apparel and accessories, Benjamin Hair & Co, and Tarka Indian Kitchen. The center still has approximately 13,000 square feet still available for leasing.

When I began my life as an independent real estate agent, I often thought about how I would finally have the time and resources to help make San Antonio — the place I was born and raised — a better place through volunteerism or philanthropy.

After a little inspiration from other philanthropic-minded real estate agents, I decided not to wait. Many of us want the opportunity to give back regardless of how much time or money we have.

Let's give back to our community together! We can help local nonprofits make a difference in responding to the needs of our communities.

How Can We Give Back To Our Community?

Use Liz Petroff to Buy or Sell Your Home, and she will make a donation to a charity or non-profit organization on your behalf. A donation equal to 10% of her commission will be made after closing.
