Pulte Leads in Customer Satisfaction for San Antonio Market

October 16th, 2009

A recent J.D. Power’s survey rated Pulte Homes as number one in the country for customer satisfaction.  The company polled over 26,000 customers in over 24 markets.  The 2009 study revealed that Pulte ranked number one in 11 of those markets, including San Antonio, Texas.

The survey addressed many facets of the homebuilding processing including workmanship, warranty, customer service, design features, builder plans, and community features to name a few.

This year, J.D. Power’s revealed that workmanship and materials seemed to rank as a more influencial factor this year as compared with previous years.

Besides San Antonio, Pulte also ranked number one in several California cities, Atlanta, Chicago, Orlando, Philadelphia, Tampa, Tucson, and Washington D.C.

Hopefully Pulte’s recent acquisition of Centex Homes will give Texas cities even more reasons to be happy with their new home.  Both builders have a strong presence in San Antonio and other Texas markets.

Houston Housing Market Shines

October 16th, 2009

If you’ve been watching the housing market, you might notice that some areas of the United States are still seeing record numbers of foreclosures.  Though Houston has its share of foreclosures, the percent of the foreclosure market shares are about half of what they were this time last year, according to the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR).  That said, HAR reported that first time home buyers boosted Houston home sales and a recent study by Brookings ranked Houston number one for change in housing price index from 2nd quarter 2008 to 2nd quarter 2009.  It gained almost 5%.

So this means Houston is one of the healthiest housing markets out there right now.  New construction of homes, townhomes and condominiums is  very active and there are lots of options for homebuyers.  If you are in the market for a home, Houston and some of its surrounding areas such as Baytown, SugarLand and The Woodlands may be just what your economic pocket book needs right now.  Good deals still abound, but you can sleep well at night knowing your new Houston home is  a sound economic investment.

Three Texas Cities Hit Top 10 in Economic Study

October 4th, 2009

A recent Brookings Institution analysis comparing 2nd quarter 2008 data with 2009 data ranked three Texas metro areas as tops when measuring increases in inflation-adjusted home prices.

The Houston area (including Sugar Land and Baytown areas) ranked number one out of 100 largest metro areas, revealing an increase of 4.9%.  The Dallas area (including Fort Worth and Arlington) ranked 3rd in the study, with San Antonio rounding out the top 10 at number 10 with a price increase of 3.1%.

This “economic report card” indicates that the housing market prices have bottomed out and are rebounding in many metro areas including the biggest Texas cities.
