“Total home sales for the city are showing a nine percent increase for the year, as our upward swing continues through 2020 for sales in the local housing market,” said Kim Bragman, SABOR's 2020 Chairman of the Board. "Similarly, Bexar County has shown a nearly 10 percent increase in home sales and we look to carry this momentum into 2021 as our city continues to grow."
