The Process
How do you sell a home in New Braunfels, TX?
Pricing
A current CMA against active, pending, and sold comps inside your subdivision. Lot size, finish level, view, builder, and school zone, not just price per square foot. You see the math before you list.
Marketing
Professional photography, clear listing copy, MLS syndication to every major portal, targeted social campaigns into relocation channels, and a launch sequence built to reach serious single-family buyers.
Closing
Peter quarterbacks the option period, repair negotiations, appraisal, title work, and walkthrough. Texas closings typically run 30-45 days. The only thing you need to do is sign at the table.

Pricing Strategy
How should you price a New Braunfels home?
Pricing in this market is not about what your neighbor listed at last spring. Peter builds a current CMA using active competition, pending sales, and homes that have actually closed in the last 90-120 days inside your submarket.
When the New Braunfels market slows, the difference between pricing strategically and pricing optimistically can be a clean path to contract versus weeks of price cuts before anyone writes an offer.

How Pete markets New Braunfels listings.
Every Peter Johnson listing leads with professional photography, clear property positioning, and MLS syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Trulia, and Homes.com. Targeted social campaigns reach local move-up buyers, Austin and San Antonio commuters, and relocators planning a New Braunfels move.
For many single-family homes, Peter will talk through pre-listing repairs, light staging, curb appeal, and whether a pre-listing inspection makes sense so buyers see the home clearly from day one.

Frequently asked questions: selling a home in New Braunfels.
The questions Peter hears most often from New Braunfels and Comal County single-family sellers.
What does it cost to sell a home in Texas?
It depends on the agent compensation you negotiate, title charges, prorated property taxes, HOA and payoff fees, and any concessions you agree to in the contract. Compensation is set in writing in your listing agreement, and the title company can give you a written estimate of the other charges. Peter runs a seller net sheet with you before you list so you can see your estimated proceeds.
Do I have to fill out a Seller's Disclosure Notice?
Yes, for any previously occupied single-family home in Texas. You're required to disclose known issues like water damage, foundation work, termite history, electrical problems, past insurance claims, HOA fees, and any active HOA litigation. The notice goes to the buyer with or before the contract.
How do real estate commissions work after the NAR settlement?
Commissions are negotiable and not set by law. Your listing agent's compensation is set in writing in your listing agreement. Sellers don't have to pay buyer-agent compensation, and offers of it no longer appear on the MLS, but you can still choose to offer it or agree to a buyer's request in the contract. Peter will walk you through the tradeoffs and the math before you list.
How long are New Braunfels homes taking to sell?
Timelines vary by neighborhood, price point, condition, and how much competition is active when you list. In a slower market, well-priced and well-prepped homes still move, but optimistic pricing can lead to weeks of price cuts. Peter will run a current CMA before you list so you can see the active, pending, and recently sold competition.
Do I have to disclose foundation issues?
Yes. Known foundation cracks, prior repairs, drainage problems, sticking doors, and any related history have to be disclosed on the Seller's Disclosure Notice. Texas treats nondisclosure as misrepresentation, and it's one of the easiest ways to end up in a lawsuit after closing. When in doubt, disclose.
Will I owe capital gains tax when I sell?
If the home has been your primary residence for at least two of the last five years, the federal Section 121 exclusion lets you exclude up to $250,000 of gain (single) or $500,000 (married filing jointly). Investment properties and second homes don't qualify. Talk to your CPA before listing if you're close to the limits.
Do I need a new survey to sell?
Not legally, but most lenders and title companies want one. You can usually furnish your existing survey along with a T-47 affidavit if nothing has changed on the property. If a new survey is needed, ask for a written quote. Ordering one early is sometimes the fastest way to keep a deal on track.
When is the best time to list in New Braunfels?
Spring, mid-April through May, pulls the most buyer traffic, driven by tax refunds and family moves before the school year. Summer can still be active because relocation buyers are moving before school starts. Late fall and winter are usually slower stretches.
