At JBGoodwin Realtors, 'you’re always getting help'

The coronavirus pandemic made the process of buying and selling a home more complicated.

But the nearly 500 agents and support staff at JBGoodwin Realtors say never-ending support from senior management helped them continue to do their jobs even in uncertain times. That support largely came in the form of incredible flexibility to get work done. “Whatever it takes” was the motto.

JBGoodwin Realtors ranks No. 1 among midsize employers in the American-Statesman’s 2021 Top Workplaces of Greater Austin project. Employers in the midsize category have between 150 and 499 employees. Workers are…

San Antonio real estate firm JBGoodwin in top spot for midsize employers for third time in 5 years

Winning the Top Workplace for midsize employers is starting to become old hat for real estate brokerage JBGoodwin Realtors’ San Antonio office.

JBGoodwin snared this year’s honor, the third time in five years that it has landed atop the rankings.

It’s also the 10th consecutive year the firm has appeared as a Top Workplace. Since debuting at No. 6 in the ranking for small employers in 2012, JBGoodwin has finished no lower than third in each subsequent Top Workplace. It graduated from a small to midsize employer in 2016.

“We’re super excited…

Unaware of all the possible paths available today to sell their home, sellers now more than ever need professional guidance around which direction to take, according to JBGoodwin REALTORS®. With low inventory continuing to drive up home prices, local homeowners want to determine the best way to maximize their investment when it’s time to sell.

Offering sellers more help, JBGoodwin REALTORS®, one of the most established and well-respected real estate brokerages in Central-South Texas, is introducing “EasyMove by JBGoodwin” and powered by Zavvie. Sellers can instantly see the differences between an instant cash offer from an iBuyer, a buy-before-you-sell option from a Power Buyer, or take the traditional route by listing their home on the open market…

JBGoodwin REALTORS® was recently honored to receive 12 out of a possible 12 Top Workplaces Culture Badges for 2021.

Our company was one of the only in the nation to have been awarded all 12 Badges and was the only real estate brokerage in the state of Texas to have done so.

Culture Badges are awarded nationally to companies whose team member Top Workplaces survey results place the organization in either the top 5% or top 25% against their peers. The Badges cover a variety of topics, and among the 12 awarded to JBGoodwin in 2021, the company finished in the top 5% in six of the categories, including “Employee Appreciation,” “Supportive Managers,” “Innovation,” “Meaningful Work,” “Open Minded,” and “Leaders In The Know.”

Happy April Fool's Day!

            

2021 has started off with quite a bang for the San Antonio housing market!

Homes sales in January jumped another 22% year-on-year, following a 17% increase in 2020.

“The demand for housing typically experiences a slower start at the beginning of each year, but in seeing a consistent and quick rise in home sales, we expect a bright 2021,” said Cher Miculka, Chairman of the San Antonio Board of Realtors.

The Covid lockdown certainly happened, but one wouldn’t know it from these numbers.

Even as total sales made a remarkable leap, the median home price still rose 14% while days-on-market fell by 29% to 46 days.

Given that the year-on-year days-on-market remained virtually unchanged last January, this growth demonstrates new strength in the San Antonio area housing…

Can the generational winter weather event that just made its way through Texas slow down the Austin housing market?

Because nothing else has.

Across the Austin area, home sales dollar volume skyrocketed an astounding 53.5% to more than $1.1 billion dollars year-on-year, while pending sales increased 15.9% in January.

Despite 2,878 new listings in January, active listings dropped 73.9% across the region. Housing inventory fell 1.3 months to a record-low 0.4 months of inventory, as homes spent an average of 33 days on market—literally half of what it was in 2020.

“There is strength across every price point and demand for every product,” said Vaike O’Grady, regional director with housing market research firm Zonda.

“Despite developers building as quickly as…
