Our neighbor just cleared $700K ($850K sales price, $750K asking) here in northwest Bexar county. That's tempting, but....we can't give up our views, the pets can't give up the views nor the room to run (2+ acres is all...how would they adjust?), and we have this new pond, only four years old that's coming into its own ecosystem, that cost a bundle. There is land available as ranchers retire and sell out to developers...and the Hill Country is now beautiful green and the rivers flowing after some years of wetter weather...a great time to sell and demand is great...lots of people have money and want that retirement home on five to twenty acres.
