Coastline Properties Voted Business of the Year

December 23, 2016 By

Seasons Greeting Friends & Colleagues!

Over the years it has been our pleasure to serve many clients in all different facets of Real Estate.  We have given our best whether it was representing a buyer, or seller.  Our property management division has been a very important part of our business for the past decade and we have brought many owners and tenants together to create a great working experience while maintaining all properties with excellence.  Coastline Properties has supported many great charitable causes over the years, and we do it because we love our community!

We strive to give our best in everything we do, not because we are required to…but because we know that relationships are the most important part of our business.  We like to often say “Amateurs focus on sales, Pros focus on relationships”.

We are truly grateful & honored to receive the award from the Padre Island Business Association as “Business of the Year”.  This award has come as a great surprise to the team, and we feel elated to work with so many Padre Island business owners and citizens.  We are thrilled to see how many more new faces and lives we can touch this New Year and want you to know our door is always open if we can ever help you in anyway this coming year.  We are much more than Real Estate agents, Coastline Properties is here to make an impact on our community and improve the lives of the people living here and our future residents as well.

Have a wonderful holiday season…Cheers to 2017!

All our best…. Coastline Properties Team

Regional Home Sales Report

December 1, 2016 By

As Realtors we are always asked about the market, and each market has different conditions that weigh in on whether its a buyers or a sellers market. We believe the article below handily brings some interesting statistics to the table, at the same time we believe each area of the city needs to be examined to determine the market conditions.  Also, keep in mind the time of year..it’s very typical for a slowing down to happen toward the end of the year as families settle in for the Holidays and typically don’t make decision’s about moving unless forced to by job’s or other circumstances.  Currently there are some great buys out here on Padre Island, and we welcome your questions about our local market to determine if it is good time for what your particular goals might be.  ~Coastline Properties Team

Via CALLERTIMES – Home sales in the Corpus Christi area were sluggish in October, falling to nearly their lowest level this year.

A total of 392 homes were sold in the Corpus Christi Metropolitan Statistical Area in October, according to the latest Economic Trends report by the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corp. The report, released Monday, cited data from the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. That’s the lowest volume of home sales this year since January, when 322 houses changed hands.

Sales in October 2015 and October 2014 were 461 and 441, respectively.

According to the report, 954 residential permits have been issued by the city of Corpus Christi through the first 10 months of this year, compared 934 during the same time frame a year ago and 1,088 for all of 2014. The number of commercial permits issued from January to October also dropped slightly from the same time in 2015, to 269 from 272.

Other highlights:

  • Regional unemployment dropped below 6 percent for the first time in four months. The jobless rate in October was 5.6 percent, a drop from 6.2 percent in July, August and September. Unemployment was 6 percent in June. Before this summer, the last time unemployment was this high, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was May 2009, when the jobless rate hit 6.8 percent.
  • The number of year-to-date airline enplanements, or passenger boardings, at Corpus Christi International Airport was 282,581 from January to October. That represents a 3.3 percent decrease from 292,331 during the same period a year ago.
  • Year-to-date sales tax collection in Alice, Beeville, Corpus Christi and Robstown were well below their pace of a year earlier. Corpus Christi collected $60.4 million in such collections from January to October, compared with $65.5 million during the same period in 2015. Alice saw a 42.4 percent drop in revenues when comparing the same 10-month period. Its year-to-date sales tax collections were $4.35 million in October and $7.55 million in October 2015.   via Chris Ram
