With the San Antonio area growing so quickly, school districts are being forced to constantly change. Students that once attended one school have been routed to another due to overcrowding. This shell game of school names makes it very difficult for parents, particulary those who are moving, to keep up. Many MLS sheets simply say "Call District" beside the headings of Elementary, Middle and High school.
Never fear, parents, help is available. Websites such as http://askted.tea.state.tx.us, a website of the Texas Education Agency, offer numerous resources on Texas school districts. By going to http://askted.tea.state.tx.us/org-bin/menus/public_schools.pl you can search for district information by using a variety of criteria. Once you locate your school district, contact information is provided including address, phone numbers, Superintendent, and in most cases, websites.
Finding a new home for your family can be a stressful affair, especially when it comes to finding good schools, but their are resources to make it easier. If you have questions about what schools your children will attend, don't hesitate to contact your school district. For all your Real Estate needs, go to www.bradfieldproperties.com

Matt Woolsey of Forbes.com got it right when he said "Homes sales are in a slump, but not everywhere." There are five cities included in his analysis that are still in a seller's market position. Because of lack of room to overbuild or a population influx, many many opportunities for Real Estate success are alive and well, including our own San Antonio and Hill Country areas.
Although many media outlets cast doom and gloom on Real Estate activity nationwide, prices for existing homes are not falling by the mass in our area. Not every market follows national trends, and despite the industry's overall problems, there are still cities where sellers have the upper hand. The best way to judge a buyer's versus a seller's market is a simple supply-demand analysis of housing stock: the current rate of sales, how long would it take to sell off the inventory of single-family homes or condos? If that measure comes back high, houses sit on the market longer. If it is low, the market is tightening, which is good news for the seller.
