Small Towns

[blondie777]

I have found a house in a small town right outside of Austin.  Does anyone know how fast real estate generally moves in small towns?

Depends on the area and what is around the small town.  What is the primary industry?  Where are the jobs?  What is the usual turnover of homes and such (check using average time on market for properties that are similar to yours through a comp search).  Check with the local BBB ... and /or the local chamber of commerce and you will get a good feel.  At the least - Ms. Betty Crocker might answer the phone and she might be the town knowledge base.  Give those a shot for the real feel to the town :-)

Thanks so much for your response.  I love New Braunfels, its a tourist town.  A lot of people work in San Antonio, population about 22 thousand.  I will check into all of your suggestions.  

Thanks Again,
Tanya
